Disaster Chart


Recommended Posts

Weather:  severe!!! cold snap, massive blizzard or ice storm, possibly pea-soup fog (but that might be closer to a civil, transportation disaster in the making)

Geological:  volcano, tsunami (they're triggered by earthquakes)

Natural:  a massive, deadly red tide (algae bloom)

Industrial:  nuclear plant incident

civil:  ship running aground in the Suez Canal :)

 

Filling it out more might be more a matter of identifying various types.  Equipment failure...could be power, could be something like water treatment.  Spills...hazardous chemicals (liquid or vapor), blown well head  --> oil spill (or Exxon Valdez).  Wind and water under weather are pretty nebulous.

This is great stuff and will be useful because it looks like I will have to make my own. Was hoping someone made one already or there could have been one in one of the books. Do you think there are enough broad categories, or should it be delineated further?
