Natural Disasters Research Worksheet

The page frames preparation knowledge as a way to feel and be safer during natural disasters. Separate spaces are provided for an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, and drought. For each, learners investigate actions that can be taken by one person, a group, or an entire community, record findings, and draw an accompanying image. The task emphasises preparedness research across different scales instead of supplying procedures or asking learners to memorise unsupported safety guarantees.

About this resource

Students research what individuals, groups or communities can do to prepare for earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and drought. Each of the four sections provides lines for findings and a box for an illustration. Supply suitable research references for the class; the worksheet provides prompts rather than information passages.
