Ventilation in the slums is inadequate owing to the hopelessly unplanned nature of these areas.” (Doc. 5) Many poor city dwellers were forced to live in dark, filthy, overcrowded slums.

The primary effected area would be the damage of infrastructure, loss of power, fires and other potentially catastrophic hazards. Much of San Diego is located in low lying valleys and in a densely populated central business district, because of the strong concentration of people damage and loss of life from collapsed infrastructure and debris would be great. According to (Guzzetti& Carrara 1993 ) It is the location to human population that is key distinguishing feature of population risk .Furthermore much of the secondary effects like the loss/damage to property can be severe, according to (californiagreensolutions.com) in the past 26 years an accumulated amount of 19.43 billion dollars of damage has been attributed to catastrophes, and 19.43 billion has been related to earthquake damage. Conclusion Through my findings and research I have found that the two most common natural disasters that San Diego and its outlying areas are susceptible to are wildfires and earthquakes. Although the frequencies for earthquakes are relatively low the possible of catastrophic damage from one is a major possibility during the next 20 years.

Poor sanitation was a major factor in the cities that led up to the contagious symptoms of the plague. The towns had no running water.

The only thing they have might be just a piece of blanket or a weak dirty dog. The life of them in California is not only for themselves but for others is nightmare. It is obvious that they live poorly, and they even can’t feed themselves or suffer from cold. For other people, they also experience the instability that brings by homeless people because the bad living condition of homeless people may lead more crimes in that neighborhood. (Yang,
