Natural disasters can be destructive; they can wreak havoc across large
areas 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

A

A tornado hit a small town in Missouri at 9a.m. yesterday. People said
the sky darkened very quickly. The winds were so strong that trees, cars
and even houses were picked up and carried for miles. As local TV and
radio stations had issued an early warning, most of the residents had
had time to take shelter underground or in basements.

B

A powerful earthquake struck the north-east of Japan at 4 p.m. last
Monday. Although Japan has the most advanced warning system, there
had been no early warning for this one and people were not prepared.
Suddenly the ground started moving. The shaking continued for a few
minutes and became stronger. People began running away from
buildings as walls started to collapse.

C

Mount Sinabung in Indonesia erupted again two days ago. From where
we were standing, we could see a big cloud of ash coming from the top
of the mountain. As the lava ran down the volcano's sides, it destroyed
everything in its path. By the next morning, several villages around
Mount Sinabung were buried in ash and debris.
