7 Ways to Survive Natural Disasters

How to Survive Natural Disasters. Here’s a list of survival tips that can save your life in an emergency.
We live in a time when natural disasters occur more and more often and get more and more devastating. Many of us believe we should blame the human race for that. Whether it’s true or not, we all want to know how to survive when those disasters happen.

Some rules are universal for most natural disasters. A national campaign called Ready was started in the United States to inform the population about how to get ready for and survive in different emergency situations. It recommends having a basic survival kit to provide you with the most important things just in case. Remember you will need to have enough food, water, and other supplies for at least 72 hours after the disaster.
“Other supplies” include a battery powered weather radio, flashlight, first aid kit, a whistle, a dust mask, personal sanitation items (such as moist towelettes), pliers, can opener for food, maps of your area and an emergency cell phone with backup batteries.

TIMESTAMPS
Hurricane 0:40
Tornado 1:45
Tsunami 3:15
Flood 4:10
Avalanche 5:03
Wildfire 6:00
Earthquake 7:00

SUMMARY
- If a hurricane starts while you are driving, leave your vehicle and find a building to shelter in, or a ditch. Stopping in an overpass will not save you. If your home is a trailer and there is enough time to flee to a safe area – do it.
- If a tornado starts when you are in a public building, follow the same rules. You want to stay as low as possible. Avoid windows and open spaces such as auditoriums, gyms, and large hallways. Desks and benches can give you some extra protection if you get under them. It is impossible to outrun a tornado.
- Tsunamis are so fast they hit the coast minutes after the earthquake. Remember that tall buildings, including hotels right in the beach area, can provide an excellent shelter. In case a tsunami finds you at sea, stay there instead of going back to the coast. It won’t be a safe haven.
- Don’t try to be the bravest person around and stay in your house once you hear the evacuation warning. Leave for safety in higher grounds with your important papers in a waterproof container. If a flash flood gives you no time to evacuate and the water is all around you, don’t try to swim across it.
- When an avalanche starts, try to move to the side of the slope as fast as you can. There will be more snow in the center of the flow. To move faster, drop any heavy equipment you have on you. If you can’t escape it, try using a sturdy tree to keep you above the snow.
- If you find yourself in a wildfire area, it is critically important to ensure that you can breathe. If you fail to do it, you can pass out in the midst of a danger zone. Use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth and escape to safety.
- If an earthquake starts when you are inside, stay where you were. Experts say that during an earthquake you must drop to the floor, get underneath a table, cover your neck and head with one hand, and hold on with the other hand. Your entire body must be under the table. Don’t try to run out of the building - the exterior of a building is one of the most dangerous places.

Don't listen to them, they gave terrible advice for a hurricane, if you're in a basement it'll get flooded and you will drown. Also hurricanes last for days, you're not going to be under a piece of furniture the whole time. They also say that if a hurricane starts while you're driving to go in a ditch, there are 2 things wrong with that: hurricanes cant "start" on land, they form in the ocean, and the second problem is the same as the furniture one, you're not gonna stay in a ditch for 3 days. In fact if a hurricane is in progress (and the roads aren't flooded) you should STAY in your vehicle and evacuate if the storm is bad enough. They also say to not go under an overpass, that info is irrelevant in a hurricane, but it is common knowledge for surviving a tornado (and not a hurricane). They also say to go to a secure basement, closet, or bathroom without windows, this is ALSO TORNADO ADVICE (once again NOT a hurricane). In fact, literally ALL the hurricane advice is actually tornado advice and in some cases could actually INCREASE the chance of you dying if you followed them in a hurricane! Look up videos from professionals, don't listen to "BRIGHT SIDE", they have no clue what they are talking about.

Me: *plays natural distaster on roblox

[axo]

*I remember that, one day I woke up to the sounds of loud noises and screaming. I headed to my window to see what was going on. Then when I look outside the window everything is dark and windy. I saw some people running to houses. So then I looked around and saw a tornado.
I was in shock. I ran to my mom and woke her up. Then I woke my sister. Then my dad. We all discussed what we should do. We had a plan. We all hid in different places. Me and my sisters decided to hide in the closet. While my mum hid under a large desk. My dad hid with my mum instead under the desk. We waited and waited and then the sky turned normal.*
