A

Natural disasters are events caused by nature that can harm people and destroy homes. Different disasters have different characteristics and require different ways to stay safe.

Typhoons are strong storms that form over the ocean. They bring heavy rain and strong winds. When a typhoon is coming, people should close all windows, stay indoors, and avoid going near the sea.

Earthquakes happen when the ground shakes suddenly. During an earthquake, if you are indoors, hide under a strong table or desk. If you are outdoors, move to an open area away from tall buildings.

Floods often occur in rainy seasons. Too much rain makes rivers overflow. People should move to higher ground quickly when a flood warning is given.

Learning about these disasters can help you protect yourself and your family.

Last year, I experienced a small earthquake in my city. I was doing my homework in my bedroom when I felt the floor shake. My books fell off the desk, and the window made a loud noise.

At first, I was scared and didn't know what to do. Then I remembered what my teacher taught us: stay calm and hide under a desk. I quickly got under my desk and held on to it tightly.

After about 30 seconds, the shaking stopped. I walked out of my room and saw my parents checking if everything was okay. We turned on the TV to get news about the earthquake. Luckily, no one was hurt in our neighborhood.

This experience taught me that it's important to learn disaster safety skills. You never know when a disaster will come, so being prepared can save your life.
