Acknowledgement
I would like to thanks my partner who was, Vicente Tintorer which collected
the data with me, also my teachers Elizabeth and Peter Llanos, for giving me
guidance and support. My parents for giving me guidance and support and possibly
paying for your schooling and also some extra classes out-school to become better.
At the same time thanking all the interviewed please that helped me collect all the
data needed for this assignment.

Our expectations for this assignment was that the high classes were
going to have almost a better preparation and also knowledge about
whats an earthquake, but at the same time we could get some
persons in the lower class that are better prepared to this type of
hazard, but they dont really know what this is or what causes it.
Later on, as we have the part of when there is an earthquake that the
ground shakes, buildings respond to the acceleration transmission,
that is transmitted from the ground and all the way through the
structures of buildings and/ or houses and how the different materials
from high classes and low classes also affect the damages and the
evacuation planning.
These two places are near the ocean as we can see in Picture 1 and
Picture 2. So in this case, another thing that might be en issue will be
a tsunami happening as an earthqueake. Cause tsunamis can be
generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically
displaces the overlying water. Tectonic earthquakes are a particular
kind of earthquake that are associated with the earth's crustal
6
deformation; when these earthquakes occur beneath the sea, the
water above the deformed area is displaced from its equilibrium
position. Waves are formed as the displaced water mass, which acts
under the influence of gravity, attempts to regain its equilibrium.
When large areas of the sea floor elevate or subside, a tsunami can
be created1, so this is another issue to be aware of.

que su distrito est bien preparado en caso de un tsunami? (On a
scale of 1 to 10 (10 being highest), do you think your district is well
prepared in case of a tsunami?)

that we stopped to search on newspapers about hazards that affected
those places in the last years.
On GRAPH 1.0 we could say that it has been progressing cause first
one year ago the preparedness of the neighbourhood was almost all
below 9 and now we can see that it has reached 10 but at the same
time we could say that as more people enter to that urbanization less
people knows about the problems that could happen in La Encantada
(near the beach).

Then we have the preparation of the low class that is in this case Villa
El Salvador, that as we can see their preparedness has an average of
4 out of 10. In this case as I was making the survey some persons told
me about their culture and what they do in case there is a hazard, so
in that case they were represented as a 1 in the preparedness as we
can see in the GRAPH 2.0.

GRAPH 2.0
Then thanks to our data taken we can also make our Graph about
their knowledge about earthquakes, as we can see on graph 3.0.
Graph 3.0, show the information that the ones that live in the La
encantada know about earthqueakes, and their prevention. As we can
see in the graph there are some persons that had low information
about earthquakes, so in this case this is helping my hypothesis made
cause, there will be some persons from high class that have less
knowledge about this hazard, so what will this mean?
For me this means that, these persons have the resources to know
about this topic but as they feel secure cause as they are from the
high class, the government will support them in case a hazard
happens, because of their higher income into the country, but not as
Villa el Salvador.

In Graph 4.0 we can see that again the hypothesis made was right,
some persons in low classes are better in formatted about
earthquakes. Maybe because they have more respect for life in my
opinion, and they know that they need the preparation and
knowledge to know what to do in case this hazard happens, to avoid
more damages that there are already going to be.

someone from a lower class with the same iPod, you will see that the
person from the higher class will say that theres not any progress at
all that you can see that anywhere know a days, but in the case of a
lower class person he will see an iPod like a super progress in
technology but as we know its not true.

conclusion will be exact. So thanks to that we could prove that of
hypothesis were right and or expectations to.
Know we know that as persons have more income in this case the
higher class they care less about prevention than lower classes but in
terms of preparation, they are better prepared because of the
resources and the knowledge they have about this type of hazard and
what could happen in an extreme case.
