Hurricanes are dangerous storms that cause high winds, flooding, heavy rain and storm surges. Earthquakes happen along fault lines in the earth's surface and can be felt over large areas, usually lasting less than a minute. Tsunamis are a series of enormous waves created by underwater disturbances like earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions or meteorites. Floods and wildfires can have devastating effects but steps can be taken to reduce risks and harms.

destructive. It is also known as cyclones and typhoons in other parts of the world, hurricanes cause high winds, flooding, heavy rain, and storm surges (high tidal waves).
2. Earthquake Earthquakes are sudden rolling or
shaking events caused by movement under the earth’s surface. Earthquakes happen along cracks in the earth's surface, called fault lines, and can be felt over large areas, although they usually last less than one minute.
3. Tsunami Tsunamis, also known as seismic sea
waves (mistakenly called “tidal waves”), are a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite.
4. Flood Floods, big or small, can have
devastating effects on your home and your family. You can take steps to reduce the harm caused by flooding.
5. Wildfire More and more people live in areas that
are prone to wildfires. You can take steps to be ready for a wildfire and prepare your home and landscaping to reduce your risk.
