Extra notes and hints for week 3 assignment

Topics to consider:

Try to think about some issue that affects you or your family/community. Try to think of something that is relevant to geography or the issues that we will be looking at this year (flick through the text on geography or even history), for example think about the changes taking place in Lithgow and the effects of these changes on the community eg the closing of the mines, the closure of ADI (Small Arms Factory), the closure of Berli's, the rise of tourism,the new shopping complex, the State Debt Recovery Service, the changing patterns of population, and family structures, the environmental impact of any feature or development of Lithgow, the impact on the community of any development, the lack of, or inappropriate nature, of any facilities provided by local councils, the effectiveness of any new programs introduced into the community. Also think about any natural geographic issues or features ie to do with extreme weather events, such as bushfires, floods, wind storms, electrical storms, or geological events such as earthquakes, landslides, rockfalls, mudslides. Do people know how to cope with these potential disasters?
