Natural hazards include:

• earthquakes
• volcanoes

• fl oods
• tsunamis

We can plan for natural hazards. We know that most natural hazards
happen in patterns. Some places never have floods. Others often have
floods at some times of year but not others. Some places are near to active

volcanoes. Others have a higher risk of earthquakes or tsunamis.
Making plans and thinking about how to stay safe can save lives. There are

lots of different things we can do.
