Hazard map

A hazard map is like a map that shows places where natural disasters are more likely to happen and places where they are less likely to happen. For example, a hazard map that shows where earthquakes are more likely to happen will have darker spots on the map. These darker spots show places where an earthquake is more likely to happen. The lighter spots show places where an earthquake is less likely to happen. Knowing where natural disasters are more likely to happen can help people stay safe, because they can know where to avoid or be more prepared.
