Millions of families face floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters every year. In Australia, for example, its wildfires from 2019 to 2020 were caused by the high temperature and a drought(干旱). They took away the lives of hundreds of people and billions of animals! While you can't stop disasters from happening, you can stay safe during one if you know what to do. Flood Floods can happen very suddenly. Flood water can be deeper than it looks. It can carry you away, so stay away! Glass, snakes, and dirty things can be in flood water, so don't drink it even if you are thirsty. Tornado A tornado happens during some storms. If there's a tornado warning, go someplace, such as a small and study(结实的) bathroom, which is safe from the wind and flying things.

Get down under something that's strong if you can't rush out of the building right away. Protect your neck and head with your arms. If you' re outside, go to an open space. Stay away from trees or anything that might fall off and hurt you. Bushfire Bushfires, also known as wildfires, are common across the world during the scorching days. It is important that you try to stay calm.Some fires can start so quickly that they threaten homes and people within minutes, so your safest choice is always to leave early. 1.

U 3 , two of Said's three children— his 11-year-old daughter,Asma, and 5-year-old son, I bra him— didn't survive(存活). “I was s 4 at home when the earthquake hit.
