Georgia Climate and Natural Hazards

Two Georgia communities face similar flood hazards but different losses. What else should be assessed?

• Only the storms’ alphabetical names
• Exposure and vulnerability
• Only their shared state abbreviation
• Only their distance from the state capital

What limitation affects a single statewide Georgia climate average?

• It removes all mountain-coast contrasts
• It gives exact conditions at every location
• It can conceal regional differences
• It makes local observations unnecessary

How should a Georgia coastal plan present observed sea levels and future projections?

• As equally certain values without assumptions
• As distinct evidence with stated uncertainty
• As unrelated figures requiring no dates
• As identical measurements of the past
