Disaster preparedness is the first step in any disaster management process. Explain how hazard zonation mapping will help in disaster mitigation in the case of landslides.
What the examiner wants
Explain: answer the exact PYQ as framed — “Disaster preparedness is the first step in any disaster management process. Explain how hazard zonation mapping will help in disaster mitigation in the case of landslides.” Treat each scoring limb separately instead of writing a general note on Landslide(Hazard Zonation Mapping).
Demand-wise check
- 1Disaster preparedness is the first step in any disaster management process≈95 words
- 2Explain how hazard zonation mapping will help in disaster mitigation in the case of landslides≈95 words
Open in about 30 words and close in about 30.
Answer plan
Where marks usually go
- Writing generally about Landslide(Hazard Zonation Mapping) without directly resolving: “Disaster preparedness is the first step in any disaster management process.”
- Under-developing the second scoring limb: “Explain how hazard zonation mapping will help in disaster mitigation in the case of landslides.”
Value addition
- Cause→mechanism→outcome flowchart or compact process diagram
→ Draw it in the body, next to the point it supports.
