SCHOOL YEAR: 2017/2018: The Project of The Last Unit A Survey About

The document is a report summarizing the findings of a survey conducted among 30 male and female secondary school students in Algeria about their preparedness for earthquakes. The survey found that while most students had received information about earthquake preparedness, the vast majority did not feel prepared for an earthquake and lacked emergency kits and family evacuation plans. The report concludes Algerian youth are not well-prepared despite their knowledge, and authorities need to improve training to help people better prepare.

A SURVEY ABOUT :

CONDUCTED BY THE TEACHER :

MR. BELIT.

SCHOOL YEAR : 2017/2018


Introduction

Earthquakes have become more frequent in Algeria during the previous few years mainly
because the northern part of the country is located in an earthquake zone. As a result, a major
earthquake can occur at any time in this area, which is inhabited by the majority of the Algerian
people.

Therefore, Algerians do not have any other option than being well-prepared for major
earthquakes that might strike their country. How well Algerians are prepared may determine the
quality of their lives after earthquakes.

In order to know whether Algerians youths are prepared for earthquakes, we decided to
conduct a survey about disaster preparedness among Algerian young people. We questioned a
sample of 30 male and female secondary school pupils about earthquake preparedness. At the
end of our survey, we will report our findings and give an answer to our question.

Report

The fact that the north of Algeria is situated in an earthquake zone means that a vast majority
need to be prepared and trained on how to cope with a major earthquake which may occur at
any time to put their lives in danger. Therefore, we decided to conduct a survey to find out if
Algerian youths are well-prepared for earthquakes. We questioned thirty male and female
secondary school pupils about earthquake preparedness.

First, we asked our informants if they thought they were well-prepared for an earthquake.
Only nine (30 %) of them said that they were and twenty-one (70%) of them said that they were
not prepared. When we questioned them to which extent they felt they were prepared for an
earthquake, sixteen (53 %) of them said that they were not at all prepared, twelve (40 %) of
them felt that they were somewhat prepared and only two (07 %) of them felt that they were
prepared very much for an earthquake.

In order to check our informants’ prior knowledge about earthquake preparedness, we asked
them if they had received information on earthquake preparedness. Interestingly, twenty-three
(77 %) of them answered that they had and only seven (23 %) of them said that they had not.
When we asked them if they had emergency kits, only seven (23 %) of them said that they had
a 72 hour water supply, five of (17 %) of them said that they had a 72 hour food supply and
fourteen informants (47 % of them) told us that they had a first aid kit. Finally, we questioned
our informants if their families had emergency plans, only nine (30 %) of them answered that
their families had evacuation plans and twelve informants (40 % of them) said that their families
had a meeting place to stay together after an earthquake.

In conclusion, our survey shows that Algerian youths are not well-prepared for an
earthquake despite their knowledge about disaster preparedness. Therefore, the authorities had
better think about efficient ways training and persuading the Algerian people to put their
knowledge on earthquake preparedness into practice.
