Sarah - “I think it’s really scary that there are so many natural disasters these days. There are far more than in the past. Every time you switch on the news you see places
that are flooded or countries in drought. I’m sure it’s all connected to climate change and global warming.’’
James - “ We watch so many natural disasters on the news these days that you become immune to them. I don’t mean that in a horrible way, but it always seems
so far away and there’s absolutely nothing you can do to help the poor people who are there. ”
Cindy – ‘’The hurricanes and earthquakes that have happened in the past month just prove how unprepared we are for natural disasters. It’s crazy that with all the technology and information available to us nowadays
natural disasters still kill so many people. They should spend more money on research to develop warning systems for hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis.”
Roger - “You can’t prepare for natural disasters as nobody knows when or where they are going to happen. It’s nature’s way of reminding us that
it is in charge and we should respect it a lot more than we do.“
