Natural disasters happen all over the world and affect many people and communities in different ways. As an example, hurricanes, Earthquakes and tsunamis have left hundreds of thousands of people searching for answers. For many, natural disasters have resulted in loss of family and in many cases the loss of their home.

Have you, your family or your community been impacted by a natural disaster? Are you interested in helping others?

 

 

Here are some ideas you might want to explore:
How a specific community, city, region or country has been impacted by a natural disaster How successful/unsuccessful the relief efforts for those impacted by natural disasters are.
How you and/or your peers can help others through action! How you and your community have overcome the effects of natural disasters. Share your stories
Natural disasters leave many people homeless for a variety of reasons. Take a moment to investigate the factors that lead to homelessness in such scenarios What organizations seek to help those who have been impacted by natural disasters? What struggles or challenges do they face?
