Maybe you could use storm windows for a heavy winded storm.

I think that the greatest natural disaster for preparing, surviving and recovering would be a hurricane. For example, you need to do a lot to prepare because you need to put up stuff like storm shutters. For surviving, you obviously need to stay inside. Lastly, for recovering, people usually need to fix a lot of stuff after the disaster. (Hurricane Sandy)

I think a tsunami is the worst natural hazard to recover from because they can ruin houses and buildings. They can kill people and drown plants.

I believe that tornadoesto are the most deadly to recover from, survive and prepare for, I believe this because I have researched it and this website can prove the result of a tornado. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/hazstats/sum12.pdf

I think an earthquake because you don't know when it will happen.

I think a hurricane is the worst natural hazard to recover.

I would say the worst disaster to recover from would be flooding. Flooding affects every state in the United States and can happen anywhere. Floods can be triggered by other natural hazard such as tsunamis and large snow melt.

I think a tornado is one of the worst disasters. Tornadoes can reach up to 300 miles per hour winds. If you have prepared, your survival pack will be full. But it's really hard to tell when a tornado will form. After the storm, some places are un fixable. Many tornadoes take lives with them as they spin and whirl.

I think tornadoes because they can lift up houses and do lots of damage to towns.

Paige M. said...

I think they're all equally horrifying for someone who isn't prepared. Tourists especially. Imagine going on vacation and seeing a tornado. it would be absolutely terrifying for someone who has never wittnessed one nor should have.

Jakob P said...

I think it would be a a medior bacuse it could kill a whole city

Kevin D. said...

I think a forest fire is dangerous because you can get trapped in is and burn.

Brooke Carman said...

I think that the most dangerous natural hazard is a tornado AND tsunami. A tornado can RIP apart houses and buildings, and debris flying around can kill people. Also a house can collapse on someone from a tornado. I think a Tsunami is very dangerous because it can drown you and cause a house to fall in on you.

Emily B said...

I think tsunamis are the worst natural hazards.Tsunamis seem the most destructive and the most life threatening and it costs a lot of money to prepare for them and the only way to get away is to go up high or evacuate before the tsunami happens.

LEXI HARMON said...

I think it would be a hurricane because hurricane destroy a lot of thing it destroys a lot of homes and it kills people that are out in it. It can ruin a lot of things

Hannah Perkins said...

One of the worst natural hazards is in my opinion is probally a Tornado because they can blow away houses and glass that could cut you.

Wayne Twombly said...

I think that it would be the volcano because the lava would burn down a house no one can stop it and it can start a lot of forest fires, So that is why I think that volcanoes are the most dangerous natural disaster known to man.

haley marsico said...

I think that the greatest/ most dangerous natural hazard is a tsunami, because you can be washed out to the ocean.

Josh Y said...

I think that tsunamis are the best because you can survive and you can prepare for it, and also firefighters are awesome.

Kiara M. said...

I think that a tsunami is the worst to prepare and recover from because tsunamis can wipe out a whole city, destroy buildings, and even take peoples lives.

Brooke DeCapua said...

I think tornadoes because they can be very dangerous. Tornadoes can ruin family's,houses,and a lot of things. Especially the strong winds that a tornado has because it can ruin houses and cause big disasters.

Chris said...

I think forrest fires are really cant be put out by water.

Brooke Carman said...

You have to do A LOT to prepare for tornadoes such as Put as much of your belongings (AND THE IMPORTANT STUFF) In your basement or the lowest part in your house, and then hide there until it is all over.

Jacob Varney said...

I think Tsunamis are the most dangerous because theres no to control it and it can Wipe out an entire city.

Cameron M. said...

I think floods are the most dangerous natural disaster because they are very powerful and theres no escaping it, I think it is the hardest disaster to survive and prepare for. There is also a lot of dangerous stuff in the water which makes it very easy to get cut and injured severely.

Alicia said...

The worst natural hazards is is probally a Tornado because they will destroy everything in its path and it can destroy a whole city.

Jacob esty said...

The worst is probably a volcano because once it erupts its really hard to escape.

DYLAN N said...

A flood because every thing would be under water.

Isaiah w said...

I think FlashFloods are the most dangerous because they can be up to 20 feet they can have bacteria that can hurt you.

Lewin P said...

A flash flood because they can cause sickness and it takes a while to drain out. Also anyone can be vulnerable to flash floods.

Anthony B said...

I believe the greatest natural disaster is a tsunami. I believe this because a tsunami's destroy anything and everything it it's path. Therefore creating more and more things to rebuild.

Tsunamis are the most dangerous because they are huge, destructive, and fast.

Hannah M said...

I think tsunamis are the most dangerous, they happen really quickly and there is no way you survive if you cannot get out in time.

Dakota Sanborn said...

Earthquakes because they can make building fall on you and crush you to death

Aidan Farris said...

I think that tornados are the most dangerous because they can go 300 mph and can pick up and throw objects.

ANA IS AWESOME said...

EARTHQUAKES IT IS WHEN TWO TECTONIC PLATES BANG TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zeke Sturgeon said...

Tornados they destroy buildings easily al they leave is ruble all you can do to survive is go in the basement.

Nicole Printy said...

I think the greatest natural hazard is Hurricanes. Hurricanes can have tornadoes and tsunamis and can also cause wildfires. You can prepare for a hurricane in some ways but you cnan't stop the destruction of your home.

Colby P. said...

A tornado because the wind reaches a lot of speed and deadly

Emily Palmer :) said...

I think a blizzard, because its cold and windy and you can freeze to death!!!

Kassidy D said...

Jack B said...

A blizzard because it has very fast wind speeds that can wipe out people, houses and everything else. It is very hard to prepare for them because it would cost lots and lots of money, you would need to buy big walls, food, water and a radio to listen for the OK to come out. Its very hard to survive it because if you get blown away your gone.

Gianna Micucci said...

Tsunamins because they can hurt a lot of people.

ANA IS AWESOME said...

Tornadoes you need a shelter,a survival kit, stay in the shelter and rebuild stuff.

Cole S said...

floods becauuse we would need buckets to get rid of it
