Natural disasters can hit anywhere,
anytime, and being prepared is the key to
staying safe. Earthquakes, typhoons, and
floods are common natural disasters that can
cause terrible damage and bring serious threats
(威胁) to safety.
Earthquakes suddenly shake the ground,
often without warning. To stay safe during an
earthquake, people had better "Drop, Cover,
and Hold On" until the shaking stops. You
can find a strong table to hide under and
hold on.
Typhoons, known as hurricanes or
cyclones in other parts of the world, can lead
to strong winds and too much rain. Before a
typhoon arrives, storing necessary things like
food, water, and batteries is important.
Floods can happen when rivers overflow
because of too much rain. To prepare well,
avoid building homes in the areas where floods
often happen and place important electrical
appliances (电器) up off the ground in your
home. Having an emergency plan is also a
must.
By understanding these disasters and
taking action, people can reduce the risk of
harm and recover (恢复) more quickly after
disasters happen.
