Impact Reflection

In this worksheet, students answer open-ended questions about how hurricanes affect people, wildlife, and the environment. They write in complete sentences, explaining both immediate and long-term effects of major storms. The activity encourages learners to think critically about safety, ecological disruption, and community recovery. Students reflect on human preparedness as well as how natural systems respond to severe weather. The final reflection question requires them to consider practical steps for helping a community recover after a hurricane, supporting empathy and problem-solving.
