Typhoons, known as hurricanes in some parts of the world, are powerful storms that form over warm ocean waters. They bring strong winds, heavy rain, and can cause flooding and landslides. To prepare for a typhoon, people should store food, water, and medicines. They should also secure windows with boards and check their emergency kits. During the typhoon, it’s safest to stay indoors, away from windows. Listen to the radio or TV for updates from authorities. After the storm passes, be careful when going outside.

Not all natural disasters are sudden like earthquakes. Some, like droughts, happen slowly over time. A drought is a long period with little or no rain. It can cause crops to fail, rivers to dry up, and lead to a shortage of drinking water. Droughts affect millions of people around the world, especially farmers. To deal with droughts, people can collect rainwater, use water more efficiently, and plant crops that need less water. Scientists are also studying ways to predict droughts so that communities can prepare earlier. While we cannot stop droughts, we can learn to live with them and reduce their impact.
