Extreme weather conditions can happen anywhere in the world at any time, but would you know how to survive a natural disaster?

It’s devastating for residents living within a country, but as travellers, any one of us could be visiting somewhere when a natural disaster occurs. 

When we were in the Lombok earthquake on 5 August, we had no idea what to do, we just tried to think rationally and survival mode kicked in. When a tsunami warning was in place, for this we knew what to do – get to high ground. 

This post isn’t intended to scare, but to educate us all on what to do when faced with circumstances we are unfamiliar with. I haven’t endured all the situations within this post, if I had, I’m unsure if I would be the luckiest person still alive, or the unluckiest to have been in these disasters in the first place! So I spoke with my travel blogger friends to create this post.

I hope we are all able to learn how to survive a natural disaster.

Seattle, Washington, the Emerald City, is a thriving urban space along the glittering waters of Elliott Bay and Puget Sound. From the arrival of the first pioneer settlers in 1851 to the present day, Seattle’s growth as a world-class city continues to attract visitors from around the world.

From a muddy community built on the tidal flats of Puget Sound, Seattle grew into a major port of call for ships carrying Washington lumber to San Francisco and the California gold mines. 

After a disastrous fire burned a majority of the city to the ground and the arrival of gold from the Klondike, Seattle transformed into the commercial shipping center of the Pacific Northwest, which it still is today.

We recently enjoyed three days in this sprawling urban enclave, soaking in the sights, sounds and cultures that make up the Emerald City of Seattle.
