My Project

There are many areas with unfavorable weather, and its effects on people are unexpected. Storms and tornadoes are examples of extreme weather events that can happen quickly and violently. Our top priority for my students in such a situation is their safety. Hurricanes and tornadoes will demolish everything in their path leaving devastation and despair in its path.

Student safety is essential and must come first.

In the event that our school sustains major damage from a hurricane or tornado, we will have to rebuild from the ground up. Securing essentials such as clean water and food takes priority. For my students to actively participate in finishing their assignments, they first need to know their basic needs will be met.
