A natural disaster that affects Maine is forest fires. To prepare for a forest fire you need to get buckets of water and sand incase if it gets in the house or if it gets really bad go some where that is not near the fire so thats how you prepare for a forest fire.

A natural hazard in Maine is a hurricane. There are many things people can do to be prepared for a hurricane< such as: evacuating if necessary, making a disaster supply kit which contains flashlight, batteries, money, first aid supplies, and copies of your information in case of evacuation. Stay in your home if you are in an area, and have plenty of water and food in case you lose power and water for several days. Purchase a portable generator or install a generator and stay away from windows. Secure loose rain gutters and downspouts. These are just some of the ways you can prepare for a hurricane.

A natural hazard that happens in Maine is a hurricane. A couple ways I can prepare for one is not planning anything to do outside, get appropriate food and clothes. I could tell other people just to be helpful, and I can also go somewhere safe in the house and tie things down outside. The last thing to do is remind my parents to put their car in the garage.

A couple of natural hazards that could happen in Maine are an Earthquake and a tornado, some things you can do to prepare for these natural hazards is if you are preparing for a tornado hide in your basement with blankets and pillows, if you do not have basement go into a closed area like a closet or a bath tub. If you are preparing for a Earthquake once again go into a closed area like a closet or bathtub.

some people can take extreme measure and go all out on being safe when someone else could take no precaution.

Sometimes in Maine tornadoes can touchdown. But usually aren't that bad

Abby D (Kawaii!) said...

Well if it was a tornado, my family would have to go to a metal shelter. Or somewhere that has a bunker, since we don't have one.

If it was a earthquake, we'd go outside behind my house where no powerlines can fall on us.

If it was a blizzard, I'd stock up and canned food and little debbie snacks (Mr. Ruby does the same. c:) Then, we'd bring out the propane space-heater and we'd snuggle up, playing our laptops and phones.

If it was thunder I'd hide under my mattress on the floor and eat more debbie snacks.

If it was a zombie apocalypse, I'd feed Mr. Ruby to it.

If a snowstorm was going to happen I would turn on the weather channel to see when it was going to happen . Then I would go to the store and get batteries,get a heater that is powered by batteries,food and gas for a generator and get a flashlight,and make sure I had a lot of blankets,and get a lot of water bottles.

hurricanes have affected maine in the past, and they still do sometimes. Things people can do to prepare for tropical storms and hurricanes are: have a shelter with food and water set up, make sure their house is stable with nothing rotting that could make it easier to blow down, and make sure you have a way to get out, as always. :)

Anonymous said...

A hurricane can happen, and when you prepare you put all the furiture and things that can fly in high winds in a garage or basement, then you gather supplies and go get stuff at the store, then you use flash lights and not candles to see and not to drink tap water. Then if things are flying at your house hid under a table untill the hurricane dies down.

Anonymous said...

Sometimes, we are hit with the remnants of hurricanes which are then classified as tropical storms. They can cause flooding and damage to houses, so I would probably get all of the valuable stuff out of the basement. Also, of course, I would close the windows because rain in the house is not good. I would probably also not go outside for obvious reasons.

If I heard that there was a big snowstorm then I would probably go to Walmart and get a couple jugs of water. I would probably get some food that I can eat without power. I would buy some batteries and flashlights. I would stay inside as the storm was going on to stay safe.
