能力拔高题
When natural disasters like hurricanes or tornadoes happen, how do people in the US keep safe Let’s take a look.
First, people get warnings from the TV, radio or phone apps. The warnings tell them when the disaster is coming and how strong it will be. Most people will prepare food, water and flashlights before the disaster arrives. They also move their cars to safe places and close the windows tightly.
During the disaster, people stay inside. If they live in a place where tornadoes often come, they will go to a basement or a storm cellar. These places are strong enough to keep them safe. Some people even have safe rooms in their houses, which are made of thick steel and concrete.
After the disaster, people check their houses for damage. They also help their neighbors clean up the mess. The government sends rescue teams to help people who lost their homes. Doctors and nurses work hard to take care of the injured.
Natural disasters are scary, but with good preparation and safety rules, people can stay as safe as possible.
