It can bring a large amount of rain. Hurricanes are dangerous because they are very
large storms. They cover a wide area as they move. There are steps to take before a

out. These are helpful tools when there is no electricity. During hurricanes, it is
important to stay inside. Stay away from windows. If there are warnings to evacuate
or leave your home because of danger, follow the directions. After the hurricane, stay
inside until it is safe to go outside. Check on neighbors to see if anyone is hurt. Stay
with the adults in charge who can tell you what is safe. They will tell you how to
help. Hurricanes are dangerous storms because they are large and sometimes slow-
moving. There are important steps to take to prepare and to be safe during and after

There have been many devastating hurricanes to hit the United States. These
hurricanes are famous in a bad way. They have been large disasters. Hurricane
Katrina was a deadly storm in 2005. It hit New Orleans, Louisiana. The storm was
stronger than anyone thought it would be. The lakes around New Orleans had too
much water, and it flooded homes. The damage was so expensive. Many people lost
their homes. Many people lost their lives. Hurricane Sandy was a large storm that
hit in 2012. It hit New Jersey and the New York City area. Many other states were
affected by the storm, but the worst damage was in the northeast. Streets and
subways flooded. Many businesses and homes were destroyed. Hurricane Harvey
was a destructive hurricane that hit the Houston, Texas, area in 2017. It moved very
slowly, so it stayed in one area for a long time. The powerful storm rained over 50
inches. It flooded the city and many small towns. Thousands of people had to be
rescued out of their homes. Many hurricanes do not bring as much damage as these
hurricanes did. Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, and Hurricane Harvey are just
a few of the most notable ones in the United States.

contextualized and simplified learning resources with most essential learning
competencies (MELCs)-based activities anchored on the principles of guided learning
and explicit instruction:
First, the Learning Resources (LR) Development Team composed of the writers
and graphic artists for devoting much of their time and exhausting their best efforts
to produce these indispensable learning kits used for the implementation of learning
delivery modalities.
