Science Lesson: Building designs for Natural Disasters

Hey Grade 5s, here are all the websites I used for today's lesson in science and a few others, enjoy!

Tsunami proof home- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGmPiKv8TZc
Wildfire - http://inhabitat.com/6-tips-to-protect-your-home-from-wildfires/ (non-combustable shutters and tile or steel shingles for the roof).
Avalanche - https://arapahoearchitects.com/custom-homes/avalanche-house/ 
Earthquake- http://imaginationstationtoledo.org/educator/activities/can-you-build-an-earthquake-proof-building (skyscrapers that site on a moat).
Hurricane- https://buildingscience.com/documents/digests/bsd-111-flood-and-hurricane-resistant buildings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxsSBHTFk3w 
Volcano- http://www.architecturerevived.com/how-to-design-buildings-for-volcano-eruptions/
Blizzard - pointed roofs, wood houses (wood is a conductor, it is better at keeping heat longer).
