Extreme weather includes hurricanes, floods, droughts, heatwaves, snowstorms, and severe thunderstorms. These events can develop rapidly and cause significant damage to homes, businesses, transportation systems, and natural environments.
Governments and emergency management agencies work together to provide early warnings and safety guidance during severe weather conditions. Individuals are encouraged to prepare emergency kits, follow official alerts, and create family emergency plans.
While technology has improved forecasting and disaster response, personal preparedness remains one of the most effective ways to reduce the risks associated with extreme weather.
