Tornado The United States experience more than 1200 tornados a year. Measured by the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

Earthquake Earthquakes are measured in intensity by the Richter scale. In early November, Oklahoma experienced a 5.6 magnitude earthquake that could be felt in Kansas. US Geological Survey

Landslide Occur when the stability of a slope changes to an unstable position. Human activity can cause landslides Deforestation Construction Cultivation/agriculture

Tsunami Tsunamis are a series of ocean waves that caused by disturbances such as earthquakes. In 1992 and 1993, over 2000 were killed by tsunamis in Nicaragua, Indonesia, and Japan.

Question & Answer How can our community help those in need following a natural disaster? How do we better prepare ourselves against natural disasters? How could current relief programs be improved?
