How do floods occur?  When water overflows at land that is usually dry.  They take hours and even days to build up.  A broken dam, ice melting quickly, or even excessive rain.

How to protect yourself from hurricanes? Stay away from windows. Pay attention to weather reports. Stay indoors and turn off electricity if instructed.

How do tornadoes occur?  Wind shears make the air rotate.  Funnel cloud is created by faster spinning.  The funnel rotates then touches down.

How to protect yourself from tornadoes? Stay away from ALL windows. The basement is the safest place in a building. Hide under a sturdy piece of furniture or table.

Summary  Answers only 1. How do tornadoes form? 2. How do wildfires form? 3. How do tsunamis form? 4. How do you protect yourself from a flood? 5. How do you protect yourself from a hurricane? 6. How do your protect yourself from an earthquake?
