WE SHOULD CARE BECAUSE
Hurricanes are unpredictable of where they will be located.
If global warning continues, we will see more severe storms.

I picked this because

• Geography is my favorite subject.
• I like learning about natural hazards.
• The article is about a recent event.

GEOGRAPHICAL LENS

• Hurricane Florence occurred in North Carolina
• Typhoon Mangkhut happened in the Philippines 🇵🇭
• Hurricanes are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific

CIVIC LENS

• Brock Long is the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency which will help rebuild the houses and buildings effected by hurricane Florence
• President Trump has made millions of dollars in aid available for storm victims

THANKS FOR WATCHING!😄👍
