Exercise 1. Read an article about how to prepare for a natural disaster. Look at the words in the box, then find them in the article and underline them. What do they mean?
Natural disasters can be destructive; they can wreak havoc across large areas and cause loss of life or damage to property. We cannot prevent natural disasters, but we can prepare for them. The first step is to learn about the risks in your area and read the information about natural disasters on local government sites. Next, find out what the rescue and emergency workers advise. These people have been trained to deal with disasters, have been through lots of them and know how to help. Make sure you have all the emergency contact numbers entered in your mobile phone. It is also important that you put together an emergency supply kit. Your emergency supply kit should include food, water, medications, personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents and some money. You may also need some extra clothing if you live in a cold climate. Natural disasters can force people to leave their homes so you should also become familiar with the guidelines for evacuation. Plan safe places to meet your family and get to know the evacuation routes and shelters.
