An earthquake is a shifting of the earth’s plates, which results in a sudden mild-to-strong shaking of the ground. Since earthquakes are unexpected and can be very destructive, being in one can be very terrifying.
Wildfires are fires that spread rapidly and rage out of control in areas of woodland, brushland, grassland, scrubland, peatland, and other wooded areas.
Knowing what to do right before and during a hurricane can help families feel more in control and take steps to increase their safety.
Tornadoes are unusual storms, as their path is often erratic. In the same neighborhood, some houses may be completely damaged while others will not have been impacted.
Tsunamis can occur with very little warning, which can heighten the fear and intensity of experiencing one and can also lead to greater loss of life and injuries.
