But what is a natural disaster? A natural disaster is a hazard event of a natural
phenomena that causes great economic and human losses.
Those can be geological like ………. or meteorological like
okay but Why we’re going’ to talk about it? why it’s important? ; Because Chile is a
country with many natural risk, actually Chile is classified as a vulnerable country
according to the Convention on Climate Change due to its geological characteristics that
make Chile vulnerable to natural phenomena and climate change.
so today we're going’ to talk about Natural Disasters but most important were going
to learn what to do in order to stay safe in case of natural disaster.
First of all, make an emergency plan in 5 steps

Finally, I want to recommend that you visit the onemi page, where you can find more
information about this theme, like school recommendations or a winter program, you can
also visit the Visor Chile Preparado page, that indicates you the natural disasters that
affect the area where you live, also remind you that there is a preventive alert for the bio
bio region due to winds and rainfall, and finally I want to conclude this work with the
following phrase
