‭Dialogue:‬

‭Sarah:‬‭Hey, Tom, have you ever been in a natural disaster?‬

‭Tom‬‭: Yes, I have. I was in a big thunderstorm once. It was so scary!‬

‭Sarah:‬‭I can imagine. What did you do during the storm?‬

‭Tom‬‭: We stayed inside and turned off all the lights. We listened to the radio for‬

‭updates and waited for the storm to pass.‬

‭Sarah:‬‭That sounds like a good plan. I've been in a flood before. Our neighborhood got‬

‭flooded, and we had to leave our home.‬

‭Tom:‬‭That must have been tough. Where did you go?‬

‭Sarah:‬‭We went to a shelter. They provided us with food and a safe place to stay until‬

‭the water went down.‬

‭Tom:‬‭That was fortunate. How can we prepare for natural disasters?‬

‭Sarah:‬‭It's important to have an emergency kit with food, water, and a flashlight. And‬

‭make sure your family has a plan for where to go and how to contact each other.‬

‭Tom:‬‭Thanks for the tips, Sarah. I'll talk to my family about it.‬
