Natural disasters are unexpected events that can cause great harm. Earthquakes happen when the ground shakes suddenly. During an earthquake, you should hide under a strong desk or table, and stay away from windows and tall buildings.
Floods usually come from heavy rain or melting snow. If you are in a flood area, move to higher ground quickly. Do not try to swim in floodwater, as it may have dangerous things in it.
Typhoons are strong storms with heavy rain and wind. Before a typhoon comes, you should close all windows and doors, and prepare enough food and water. Stay inside until the typhoon passes.
It’s important to learn about these disasters and know how to keep yourself safe. Being prepared can help you stay calm and survive when a disaster happens.
