This document contains a 30-question summative test on disaster readiness and risk reduction. The test covers topics like the types of landslides, conditions required for landslides to occur, characteristics of sinkholes, ideal environments for sinkholes to form, and natural signs that indicate impending landslides or sinkholes. The test questions are multiple choice and assess understanding of these geologic hazards and how to identify potential signs of hazardous events.
