Description

Risk Assessment of your National Park(lassen National park)

You will need to conduct research using credible scientific resources to identify the geologic hazards specific to your chosen park. Then, you will need to complete an analysis of how humans can mitigate, or limit the effects as much as possible, the effects these hazards have on people who may visit the park and/or people who live in the surrounding areas.

It is strongly recommended that you visit your specific national park page for some background information about hazards that occur at your park. Often, parks have current hazards listed at the top of the park webpage to warn tourists of any dangers the park poses, and any closures caused by hazards.

To help you with your research, an additional list of sources for certain geologic hazards is included below. Begin by researching your park and determining what hazards may affect the area. Then, use the sources below to build on your knowledge of potential hazards. Expand your research from here to give you a better view of the hazards your designated area faces.
