What Are Hazards?
Goofy is learning about disasters. Disasters are bad things that can happen to many people at once. Sometimes they are caused by nature, but other times they are caused by people. When you know what to expect and take action in advance to get ready, you can get through difficult times more easily. Match the name of the disaster to earthquake thunderstorm its definition to learn winter storm tornado more!
There are lots of kinds of disasters. Can you unscramble the words below to find the different types?
rief hurricane flood
fire
T hese happen when there is a lot of rain, when ocean waves come too far onto the beach, or when snow melts too fast. T hese powerful storms bring thunder, lightning, wind, and lots of rain. Sometimes they even bring hail and ice. We use this for heat and to cook food, but sometimes it gets out of control and can hurt people. T hese happen when air and moisture form clouds that bring rain, sleet, or snow. These can last for many days and bring strong winds, extreme cold, and lots of rain and snow. T hese fast-spinning columns of air develop from powerful storms and look like spinning funnels that go from the sky to the ground. T hese big, circular storms form in large bodies of water, like oceans, and can have winds that move at 74 miles per hour or faster.

Note to Parents: In a home fire, you may have very little time to get everyone to safety once the smoke alarm sounds. Do not stop to gather things. Immediately go to your outside meeting place and call the fire department. Never go back inside a burning building—just get out and stay out.

Note to Parents: Did you know that if you are stuck in the car in a snowstorm, the best thing to do is to stay in your car and wait for help? During heavy snowstorms, people who leave their cars can get lost. You should keep a kit in your car with a shovel, water, snacks, sand or kitty litter, a portable radio, and a cell phone charger in case you get stuck.

Tornado Safety Tornadoes are fast-spinning columns of air. They can develop very quickly and cause a lot of damage. Tornad oes develop from powerful storms and look like spinning funnels tha t go from the sky to the ground.

Note to Parents: Did you know that windows need to stay closed during a tornado? Always stay away from windows and get to your safe room as soon as you can. If you are in a mobile home or trailer, evacuate to a sturdy building. Most mobile homes and trailers provide no safety from tornadoes, even if they are tied down.
Here’s a game to play with your family. Take turns joining two horizontally or vertically adjacent dots by a line. A player who completes the fourth side of a square (a box) gets a point. If you form a box around a safe place to be during a tornado, give yourself an extra point. But watch out. If you form a box around a hazard during a tornado, you lose a point. The player with the most points when no more boxes can be drawn wins.
Hurricane Safety Hurricanes are big, circular sto rms that can move slowly or quick ly. They form in big bodies of water , like oceans. Hurricanes also br ing strong winds that can move as fast as or faster than a race ca r. On land, the strong winds, heavy ra in, and big waves can do a lot of damage to trees, cars, buildings, and even your house!
