1. What caused the disaster? 2. What precautions were taken to prevent damage? 3. What damage resulted from the disaster? 4. What can people do to be better prepared for and stay safe during the disaster now or in the future?

You may work in pairs to research and write out you report and proofread for making sense, mistakes and for word limit. When you have had your work checked by your teacher you may type your report into the space provided beside your Avatar and publish.
