As parents, you can help children deal with the fear of natural disasters(自然灾害)and help protect them from being hurt by telling them how disasters happen, and what to do when disasters happen. Here are some tips for you:

Find out what disasters are possible in your area by visiting your local library.

Think about where your family should go if your house is destroyed.

Teach children the warning signs and signals in your area and practice what to do if a disaster happens.

Once you know the danger, ask your children to help check the safety in your house. You and your children can also work together on a disaster plan and prepare a disaster box with food, water and necessary tools.

If a disaster does happen, pay attention to your children’s behavior. Changes in behavior, for example, acting strangely, mean that your children need help.

Allow children to share their feelings about what has happened such as drawing a picture or writing a story.

Let friends and neighbors help you if they can.

Continue to tell your children that they are loved.
