In this lesson, you will learn about “storms, floods, and hazard maps,” one of the especially important topics in disaster preparedness. Rather than memorizing words alone, you will aim to explain the mechanisms and reasons in your own words.
Key Points
Use hazard maps to check areas expected to experience flooding or landslides, and check rainfall amounts and evacuation information early.
