答案
One possible version:
Natural disasters happen from time to time. So it's of great importance for us to know what to do when they happen. Here are some tips.
When a flood happens, we'd better get to a higher place. We shouldn't walk or swim through the flood water. If an earthquake happens, we should hide under a strong desk or table and run out of the building when the ground stops shaking. We shouldn't stand near a tall building. If we are outside when a thunderstorm begins, we should look for cover in a large building or lie down in a hole. We shouldn't stand under a tree, or we will be easily hit by lightning. Last but not least, we should be brave and stay calm.
If we do so, I believe we can protect ourselves from natural disasters.
