flooding come from when a huge amount of water come down at one time and has no where to go. for example in Omaha NE in 2019 Omaha got about 3 feet of constant rain. from sop much rain it caused the drains and rivers to get back up witch led to the water not having no where to go. with the way a water system is built it determines how much rain that area can take on. if it is to much water that's when the water starts to rise and then what we know as a flood is built. if you are aware of a flood coming you should get all your kids and pets and make sure you have food water lights and portable chargers so you can have food to eat water to drink and so your phone or device charged so you can be aware of the authority's. when you are evacuating the area never drive into areas that are already in the proses of flooding because things in the water can cause your engine to stop for something in the water can puncture your tire. when its safe to come back to your home still be aware of missed placed cars and Debree. when you hear a floods coming if posable make sure you have life jackets and working flash lights. every house hold should make sure to have a flood kit so everyone and everything can stay safe

A wildfire is a fire that burns out of control in a natural area, like a forest, grassland, or prairie (ready.gov). They are usually started by humans who start a fire but do not put it out properly. The risk is greater when there is no rainfall.

PREPARE: Have an emergency safety kit. Create a family communication plan.

DURING: Follow local emergency officials directions, call 9-1-1 if necessary.

AFTER: If you have evacuated, do not return until fire officials say it is safe to do so.

PAST EVENT: There was a large fire on Maui in 2022.

There are roughly a thousand tornadoes a year in the U.S., and they are mostly in the Tornado Alley area. How tornadoes form is when hot updraft air comes up in the storm and cold inflow air comes in from the top of the storm and creates a rotational spin in the storm's atmosphere that creates a funnel that goes down to the ground.

this year we already have had two tornadoes in Omaha. what you should do when you get a tornado warning is to go to a tornado shelter or go to the lowest interior room in your building. you can tell a tornado is near you if you see the funnel, see a debris cloud, or hear a noise that sounds like a freight train. If the building you are in is being hit by a tornado, make sure that you keep your head down and get on the floor. after a tornado, call for help and help others when it is safe. If you see a tornado do not stand and record them because you can be injured by debris or sucked away and thrown extremely far. tornadoes are extremely dangerous and can reach up to 301 mph. so if you see the signs of a tornado forming or hear the tornadoes sirens/ Warings, take shelter immediately.

Volcanoes - Kevin Gijon

They happen cause deep down in earth it gets really hot that some rocks melt and become magma chambers, therefore it pushes through the vents and fissures through earths surface.

What to do before a volcanoes erupts you must listen to emergency information, follow shelter procedures and limit ash exposure

during an eruption take shelter from volcanic ash and cover any ventilation near you

after it erupts stay inside and away from Volcanic ash

one big mention of a big volcanic eruption is in 1815 Tambana Indonesia
