This discussion is similar to your first discussion but this time you must also include a video of a disaster (a link to youtube or another site is fine). You must also pick a different disaster than the one you chose for Discussion 1.

Write at least 250 words about a natural hazard or disaster that has happened recently. Do some research and try to find a natural hazard or disaster that has happened in the last few months. The natural hazard or disaster MUST have occurred in the last two years. Write a short summary of the event, details of disaster, effect on human or animal life, what this event means for the future, or anything else that seems appropriate or applicable to the class and the report. You must also include any references you used (website, magazine, URL). You must also include a link to a video that is related to your disaster.

Pick something that interests you…it could be a flood, a hurricane, an earthquake or anything else that is covered in the class. Have fun with this!

It is considered plagiarism to use any material that is not your own without citing where that material came from. This includes websites, blogs, online comments, even material form the textbook. It is OK to use outside material but you must cite when you do! The word count refers to material you wrote only, it does not include quotes from other authors or citations
