Please finish analysis worksheet. Here is an electronic copy:

Directions: Please fill out the following chart with your group. This information should be used in your presentation! Your goal is to connect important facts with the demographics you researched. Basically, how did the demographics affect the response to the disaster? For instance, did the country have a very low GDP before the disaster? Did that impact the ways that the country was able to deal with the disaster? FILL IN THE ENTIRE CHART! This is worth 50 points and is due by the end of class on March 11^th

Key fact from your disaster	Demographic that may have had an impact with regards to this fact	Why? Explain the connection. This should be 1-2 complete sentences.
2,000 people died after the earthquake—not as a result of the earthquake itself (3)	Doctor population ratio is 1: 10,000 (1)	If the doctor to population ratio were smaller, more people may have had access to medical care, thus preventing many deaths.
