Susan Haas · Answer 1

This is to convince readers of a threat, the first choice. This is not a frightening story or a historical event, because the author clearly states that "I know of no community that has experienced ... " meaning that this is figurative rather than historical. This is not to convince readers about the importance of a community, as the whole excerpt is about certain disasters rather than the community that experiences it.
