Natural Hazards: Humans, Earth, and Risks
This National Geographic wall map treats natural hazards as a human story rather than a set of shaded zones on a globe, focusing risk where it actually lands: on people, cities, and budgets. It comes from the National Geographic Atlas of the World, 10th Edition.
The map includes five supporting data panels:
- Cities at Risk
- Increasing Costs
- Increasing Number of People Affected
- Costs by Region and Type of Disaster
- The Role of Climate Change
Earth science and AP Human Geography teachers use it to connect plate boundaries, storms, and flooding to population and economic loss. Emergency management offices, risk analysts, and university lecture halls rely on it where discussion happens.
Map Shop prints this map in house on premium 36lb paper, or with 1.7mil satin lamination front and back for wet-erase markers, mounted to quarter-inch foam core for pins, and finished with black or walnut rails or framing.
