Degg's Model

Martin Degg is a lecturer who created this model.


It was used in the British Red Cross resource which was mentioned earlier in the blog, and is useful way of thinking about natural hazards as a situation where there is an overlap of the two circles.

The other useful model is Park's model. See if you can find a copy of this one in a textbook that you might be using. Both of the models explores the overlap between the cause of the hazard, and the factors that help it to become one, and those that help to reduce the risks involved.


Here's a presentation that Mr. Parkinson gave with Lucy Tutton from the British Red Cross.
