What I Have Learned

3 Things I learned Today
1. I’ve learned about the important of risk factor
2. I’ve learned about Factor Underlying Disaster
3. I’ve learned that we always have to be prepared

2 Things I Found Interesting

1. the things I found interesting on disaster is that it can be made by nature of or 
man made
2. The second interesting topic I found is about the underlying factors of disaster risk like
the climate change, Globalized Economic Development and Poverty and Inequality. I want to help the world by
Planting trees, clean the environment and to help other people so that we can unite as one like a family.
