Industrial waste consists of some kind of chemical substance which is harmful for our life.
Another cause of water pollution is the lack of awareness of citizens. Every day people generate a lot of garbage and they throw it directly into the rivers, ponds and so on.

Firstly, we should buy some canned food and some candles and matches because when typhoon comes the market will be closed and no food will be available and there may be a power cut.
Secondly, we should fill with buckets with water because when typhoon comes, the water pipes may be damaged.
Nextly, we should fix the leak in the roof and tie the roof to the ground and pegs and ropes and check the windows and door latches because when typhoon comes it will be rainy and windy.
In conclusion, preparing before the typhoon comes is our duty if we want to have a good life in areas where disasters often happen.
