atmospheric, geological, and hydrological
origins (e.g., droughts, earthquakes, floods,

Importance
Natural disasters education is a very important
part in the prevention of natural disasters. If it is
applied from an early age, it would be
successful and will yield positive results,
namely to reduce the risks and consequences.

Natural disasters are “global issues” that present

both teachable moments as well as a chance to
engage in the wider world. Teaching about
natural disasters can serve not only to promote
students' language skills but can also promote
global awareness, critical thinking and a sense
of active world citizenship.
