Help Provided in partnership with the Council for Exceptional Children Excerpted from Disruption, Disaster, and Death: Helping Students Deal with Crises Disasters are calamitous events that range from catastrophic property or personal injuries to loss of life. Disaster frequently involves community-wide devastation. Natural disasters-occurrences in nature over which humanity has little or no control include tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and fires. Nearly every spring, a tornado hits a school somewhere in the United States. Although many tornadoes occur in the late afternoon or early evening, that is, after school hours, others hit with little warning while the school is in session. Flying glass, falling roofs, and disappearing walls create havoc, destruction, injury, and even death. Putting the school back together is a daunting task. Buildings need to be rebuilt and classes have to be relocated. Materials may or may not be salvageable. After an experience like this, each time a storm approaches, all students including those with exceptionalities become upset and school is again disrupted. Hurricanes are severe tropical cyclones originating in warm ocean areas and generating winds of sustained velocities over 74 miles an hour. More than any other natural hazard affecting the United States, hurricanes in recent years have been characterized by a decreasing loss of life coupled with rapidly rising loss of property. Hurricanes can debilitate schools. When a hurricane is approaching, schools usually close to minimize loss of property or life within school buildings. Some schools include, just in case, an emergency shelter for students, teachers, and administrators when the storm hits. Although either measure helps prevent loss of life, the emotional shock may not be prevented.

1933 Long Beach Earthquake At 5:54 P.M., March 10, 1933, the City of Long Beach suffered a major earthquake, followed by several days of intermittent shocks. Fire Stations 1, 5, 7, and 9 were demolished and others were badly shaken. A large circus tent housed Station #1, another tent housed Station #9 and Engine companies 5 and 7 used the garages at the rear of the stations. Click HERE for photos. Hancock Oil Fire At about 1:54 P.M. on May 22, 1958 a rumbling noise was heard from the vicinity of the Hancock Oil Refinery on Signal Hill. About 30 seconds later violent frothing tore a section of the roof from the shell of the tank on the north side. This wave of oil froth reached a level of 3 1/2 feet, then was quiet for a time. Eight to ten minutes later a second frothing occurred and this wave of oil froth was ignited. The burning froth took five minutes to travel 2,000 feet and was 1 1/2 to 2 feet deep as it entered a nearby storm drain. the wave of burning oil swept through 70% of the refinery - with men being caught in it's path. Burning oil spread so rapidly that no emergency shutdown measures could be taken - steel supports, piping, instruments and wiring were all destroyed. Within two hours the fire was extinguished or had burned all the fuel in all areas except for the fires in the tank farm - it was 40 hours later before the last tank fire burned out.

Section 16: Disasters One of the best parts of the SimCity series was the fact you could activate fires, earthquakes, tornados, and alien invasions on a whim. While there's no insta-disaster in The Sims, you can still wreck havoc the same way with a bit of ingenuity. I'll list all the disasters, how to intentionally do it, and how to prevent it. Fire HISTORIAN: Man discovered fire in prehistoric times. It has always been a tool, but a double-edged one at that. It can cook food well, but it can also cook PYROFALKON: *sets the historian on fire* HISTORIAN: It can also cook humans, as my friend here just demonstrated. Wait, that's not a fake fire. Wait, come back! It burns! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dies* PYROFALKON: *laughs* If there is any one disaster you can do off the bat, it's fires. Ovens of all flavors, including microwaves, toaster ovens, and even grills, can catch flames and pass them off to your sims or other pieces of furniture. Fires can come from more than the oven, though. It can result from a flying spark in the fireplace, or a mishap with the toy rocket. Fires spread rather quickly, so if one starts, you need to take steps. Unfortunately, though, sims are stupid. If they're in a room with a fire, they'll immediately drop whatever they're doing and panic. You have to manually cancel the panic action (by clicking its icon in the queue), then do something else.

89. The Sun Hurricanes and forest fires are disasters that are even more common than tornadoesand earthquakes. Hurricanes are always created over a body of water. http://www.imsa.edu/project/rs/articles/naturaldisasters.html

Natural Disasters Natural Disasters Natural Disasters Natural disasters are usually unpredictable and can happen everyday. You might hear about an earthquake in California, a volcano in Hawaii, or maybe a tornado in Illinois. These are all known as natural disasters. Each has unique causes and characteristics, but all have devastating effects on people and communities. For example, a volcano is one of the natural disasters that few people have actually seen. Even though you would probably think that melted rock, or lava, would move pretty slowly, it can ooze down the side of a mountain in just minutes to cover a town at the bottom. Also dangerous is the hot ash that is thrown up out of the volcano during the eruption. Hurricanes and forest fires are disasters that are even more common than tornadoes and earthquakes. Hurricanes are always created over a body of water. When the water in an area is cold and a warm wind blows over it or vice versa, the pressure of the air becomes uneven and causes wind to swirl around. Hurricane winds can reach speeds of 70 mph or more! While it's over water, the hurricane can stay alive, but as soon as it starts to cross over land, it begins to lose its power until it gradually fades away. There is nothing that we can do to prevent hurricanes. Another interesting fact is that meteorologists, people who study the weather, give names to every hurricane alternating boys and girls names, going in alphabetical order at the beginning of every year. In the North America area, hurricanes usually start either by the southern Pacific, Atlantic, or in the Gulf of Mexico area.

The Sept. 16, 1936, News-Sun reported Weber told club members: He went on to describe another costly fire on the west side of Main Street that destroyed a number of wooden structures which were later replaced with brick buildings.

ESA/ESRIN and Eurimage started the Earth Watching project in 1993 for two main reasons: to supply satellite data and pertinent information quickly in cases of natural disasters; and to demonstrate the benefits of remote sensing applications during emergencies, through images and articles. The Earth Watching project aims at stimulating awareness of the potential of remote sensing. From June 1999 the project is supported by ESA/ESRIN directly to provide awareness of the planning activities of the ESA's supported satellite missions and to show information quickly in case of special events.
