Listening to “Natural Disasters”
Do you know how we can survive in an earthquake? Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or wildfires have always posed a significant threat to humanity. Every year, thousands of lives die of them.
Just as the old saying goes, “Know yourself, know your enemy. A hundred battles, a hundred victories.” Only when we know more about natural disasters can we come up with excellent ideas to fight against them. This Saturday, we invite Malika Sultanova, the professor of Yale University and expert in environmental science, to give a speech on what you need to know about natural disasters. Let's go and enjoy it!
