Everything seemed to be dried. In drought areas, plants and animals all died because there was not enough water for living at that time.

Luckily, hundreds of rescue workers were sent to the drought areas. They brought water tanks to help the thirsty villagers. The government sent food, fresh water and medical supplies to help the victims of the drought. They have also planned to prevent the drought in this area by building some big lakes to store water for living and farming.

A natural disaster is a sudden event brought about by natural forces other than the acts of human beings. There are many different natural causes of natural disasters, and being aware of these causes helps us to be better prepared when they do. One of the most common natural disasters is floods, which occur when a river bursts its banks and floods the floodplain. During the wet rainy season, flood warnings are often issued because of heavy rainfall. There are different flood risk factors that we need to mention such as steep channels causing surface landslides, lack of vegetation and forests disrupting the flow of water. In other words, we cannot slow the flood if the forests disappear. So we need to save our environment.
