Answer:
Today, we can predict with more accuracy than ever dangerous hurricanes, winter storms, and floods. We know which areas are prone to earthquakes and tornadoes or susceptible to wildfires, and we can tell hours in advance whether a tsunami will hit our shores...
However, thanks to our global economy, it’s not just local disasters we need to consider. Disasters in other parts of the world now have a direct effect on our economy. We’ve already seen that diseases like COVID-19 can rapidly spread across oceans and affect every nation within months. Food shortages elsewhere can cause food riots, leading to speculative price swings, which can quickly raise the cost of food. A cyberattack from international hackers could threaten our financial industry or even our electrical grids...

Types of Natural Disasters
Here in the United States, we face a multitude of risks ranging from landslides to tsunamis. Each of these natural disasters creates varied threats and requires different levels of preparation.
Tornados..
Tornadoes can cause such complete destruction all your emergency supplies can literally be blown away or destroyed. If tornadoes are a risk in your area, you can build a storm shelter to store supplies and keep your family safe.
Hurricanes. Hurricanes can cause intense flooding, so storing emergency supplies in a basement or crawlspace can result in disaster if your home floods. You also need to keep your supplies mobile if you’re forced to evacuate.
Earthquakes.
Earthquakes strike very suddenly and without warning. A major part of preparing for an earthquake is checking your home for potential hazards before one strikes and knowing how to keep your family safe...
Wildfires and Tsunamis...
Wildfires can spread quickly, and people in its path must often evacuate with little warning. You must keep your emergency supplies in a backpack or bin you can easily transport. If your area is at high risk for these disasters, you should also keep a pair of walking shoes and a flashlight next to each household member’s bed in case you have to evacuate unexpectedly in the night..
Pandemics...
Preparing for a pandemic means being ready to shelter in place for several weeks or longer and having specific supplies, such as face masks, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies. It also means preparing financially for unemployment or forced leave if your city or state orders a long-term lockdown.
Avalanches.
Part of being ready for an avalanche involves having specialized equipment, such as an air bag and avalanche beacon.
Winter Storms..
Winter storms can lead to power outages during the coldest months, which means you need the ability to keep your family warm and fed when electricity isn’t an option. It’s also vital you prepare your car for winter storms in case one strikes when you’re on the road.
Landslides...
Landslides are another disaster that happens without warning. Preparing for this disaster involves understanding the risks in your area, following proper land-use guidelines to lessen the risk on your property, and being ready to evacuate to higher ground if one occurs..
Volcanic Eruptions..
Volcanic lava flow can travel 100 miles per hour, and it destroys everything in its path. Volcanic ash can also cause severe health problems if you inhale it. Preparing for this natural disaster means keeping supplies in a backpack and being ready to seal off your home from falling ash if you do have to shelter in place.
