| Title | When Nature Strikes: Natural Hazards Safety Booklet |
| Lesson Description | Physical systems often affect human systems. This is especially evident when the impact of natural disasters on humans is observed. It is important for students to be aware of the dangers of environmental hazards such as flash floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Since these disasters often strike with little warning, students who know what to do in the face of such dangers, will be more likely to avoid property damage and, most importantly, personal injury. |
