How would you react to these natural disasters?

You are going to pick with your partner (or our one group of three) a natural disaster to research. There are some links below, but you can also go and find your own research.  
Your job is to create a "preparedness presentation" for your natural disaster.  Basically, what do people do if they encounter your natural disaster? (you can pick another natural disaster not listed here, if you like)
