WHEN A NATURAL DISASTER STRIKES



Updated 2/25

A natural disaster may take many forms.
An earthquake, heavy flooding, landslides,
brush fires, a tsunami, a tornado, an avalanche 
and more, may be called a natural disaster.

The aftermath of a natural disaster may 
lead to PTSD. Other conditions may 
occur, as a result of the trauma.


                     Fighting a fire

Most people do not pay attention to dehydration and its
effect on the 
body, until it becomes an obvious problem.
Firefighters are among those 
who are aware of dehydration.
They take
 measures prior to fighting a fire, to prevent it
from happening.
