Natural Disaster Project
Brochure
In this activity you will be answering the following essential question:
What can you do to prepare for different types of natural disasters?
You will be working in a team of 4 students to create a preparedness guide to
different natural disasters. Each student within your group will be responsible for
one of the disasters listed below. The group will then compile their information
into a single document that answers AT LEAST the following questions:

How common is this disaster and where does this disaster normally occur
and during what time of year? How often?

What are the major causes of damage, destruction, death associated with
this disaster? People killed annually? Money damages incurred?

What can be done before the disaster happens? How can you prepare?

What should be done during the disaster?

What should be done after the disaster?
Step One: Describe the disaster and the frequency of the disaster
Use online research to discover information about these disasters
and often these disasters occur and Make sure to use credible
sources. Wikipedia, ask.com, answers.yahoo.com and other similar
websites are not going to count
Hurricane
Tornado
Volcanic Eruption
Earthquake
Tsunami
Lightning
Landslide/Debris flow
Thunderstorms
Step Two : Determine the damage caused by the disaster
Use the research to discover information about the damage caused
by the natural disaster that you are investigating. Answer the
questions and add other pertinent info!
Step Three: Determine steps to take before, during and after a disaster.
Make sure these 3 sections are clearly distinguishable. What supplies do
you need? Do you need to prepare anything ahead of time? Where do you
go during the disaster? What do you need to do after? Make sure to
include plenty of information
Step Four: Create your group Brochure
Share your information with the group and create a 3 columnbrochure displaying your research. The document should focus
more on content than style. In your brochure make sure you include
all 3 steps.
