strong winds, and low visibility.
 Mention that blizzards can make travel difficult and may cause power outages.

Slide 8: Heatwaves

 Define a heatwave as a prolonged period of excessive heat and high

temperatures.
 Mention that heatwaves can be dangerous and may lead to heat exhaustion or
heatstroke.
 Highlight the importance of staying hydrated and seeking shade during a
heatwave.

Slide 9: Floods

 Describe floods as an overflow of water onto normally dry land.

 Explain that floods can occur due to heavy rain, melting snow, or dam failures.
 Emphasize the need to stay away from floodwaters and to follow evacuation
orders if necessary.

Slide 10: Droughts

 Explain that droughts are extended periods of little or no rainfall.

 Mention the impact of droughts on agriculture, water shortages, and the
environment.
 Highlight the importance of conserving water during droughts.

Slide 11: Wildfires

 Describe wildfires as uncontrolled fires that spread quickly through forests or

grasslands.
 Explain that wildfires are often caused by dry conditions, lightning, or human
activities.
 Mention the importance of preventing wildfires and following fire safety
guidelines.
Slide 12: Extreme Weather Safety Tips

 Provide general safety tips for extreme weather situations.

 Include advice such as staying indoors, seeking shelter, listening to weather
alerts, and following evacuation instructions.

and the risk to human and animal lives.
 Emphasize the importance of being aware of the impact of extreme weather and
taking necessary precautions.

Slide 16: Climate Change and Extreme Weather

 Explain the connection between climate change and the increase in extreme
weather events.
 Discuss how rising temperatures and changes in weather patterns contribute to
more frequent and intense storms, heatwaves, and other extreme weather
phenomena.
 Highlight the importance of taking action to mitigate climate change and protect
the planet.

Slide 17: Interesting Facts about Extreme Weather

  Share some fascinating facts about extreme weather to engage students.
 For example, you could mention the strongest recorded tornado, the largest
hailstone ever measured, or the highest temperature ever recorded.

Slide 18: Conclusion

 Summarize the key points discussed throughout the presentation.

 Reiterate the importance of understanding and being prepared for extreme
weather events.
