2、ay “Definitely, very important.” Tilly Smith, a British girl, was holidaying at the beach in Phuket, Thailand, with her parents and her seven-year-old sister. All the tourists watched in amazement as the tide rushed out, signifying that a major sea disturbance was approaching the coast. The sea bega

She explained she had just completed a school project on the huge waves cause

These hazards become disasters when peoples homes and livelihoods are destroyed. With

11、the increasingly serious situation of poverty, population explosion and environmental degradation, people are becoming more and more vulnerable to natural hazards. How to prepare for the disasters becomes an urgent issue for people around the world. Maybe education is the answer; the more people lea
