I would like you to slightly change it and put this into my talk. Like put the points in order

Why can we be sure that natural disasters are not punishment from God?
Natural disasters differ from God’s use of natural forces, as recorded in the Bible.
Natural disasters kill and maim indiscriminately. In contrast, God’s acts of judgment recorded in the Bible were selective. For example, when God destroyed the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, he spared the good man Lot and his two daughters. (Genesis 19:29, 30) God read the hearts of the individuals of that time and destroyed only those he deemed wicked.​—Genesis 18:23-​32; 1 Samuel 16:7.
Natural disasters usually strike with little or no warning. On the other hand, God gave warnings to the wicked before using natural forces against them. The people who heeded the warnings had an opportunity to escape disaster.​—Genesis 7:​1-5; Matthew 24:38, 39.
To some extent, humans have contributed to natural disasters. How? By damaging the natural environment and by building in areas prone to earthquakes, floods, and extreme weather. (Revelation 11:18) God is not to blame for such human choices.​—Proverbs 19:3.
Are natural disasters a sign of the times?
Yes, Bible prophecies suggest that there would be disasters during “the conclusion of the system of things,” or “the last days.” (Matthew 24:3; 2 Timothy 3:1) For example, concerning our time, Jesus said: “There will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.” (Matthew 24:7) Soon, God will rid the earth of all causes of pain and suffering, including natural disasters.​—Revelation 21:​3, 4.
How does God help victims of natural disasters?
God comforts victims with his Word, the Bible. The Bible assures us that God cares for us and that he feels for us when we suffer. (Isaiah 63:9; 1 Peter 5:​6, 7) It also reveals his promise of a time when natural disasters will not happen anymore.​—See “Bible verses to comfort victims of natural disasters.”
God helps victims by means of his worshippers. God uses his worshippers on earth to imitate the example set by Jesus. It was prophesied that Jesus would comfort “the brokenhearted” and “all who mourn.” (Isaiah 61:​1, 2) Worshippers of God strive to do the same.​—John 13:15.
God also uses his worshippers to provide practical relief to victims of natural disasters.​—Acts 11:28-30; Galatians 6:​10.

Can the Bible help with natural-disaster preparedness?
Yes. Although the Bible is not a manual for disaster preparedness, it contains principles that can help. For example:
Plan ahead for potential disasters. “The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself,” says the Bible. (Proverbs 22:3) We are wise to prepare an emergency plan in advance. Such planning may include assembling an emergency kit that is ready to go in case of an emergency and rehearsing with one’s family where to meet if a disaster occurs.
Value life over possessions. The Bible acknowledges: “We have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out.” (1 Timothy 6:​7, 8) We need to be willing to leave our home and possessions in order to escape disaster. We do well to remember that our life is more important than any material things.​—Matthew 6:​25.

This is my talk

Britney: Mrs. Brooks I heard that the students were saying that your house was torn down a week ago because of the terrible storm we had.
Erica: Yes, I went to bed that night but it was already raining then my daughter woke me up at midnight and said she heard the siren going off next then you know I could feel my house shaking then the lightning hit my roof and I grabbed my daughter and got up out my house.
Britney: Wow, that seems scary. Are you and your family okay?
Erica: Yes, we are, we lost everything in the tornado. While we were running in the rain my daughter scrapped her knee on the ground. We thought it was nothing then we went to our friend's house to seek shelter she started to have a fever and her fever just wouldn’t go down. Then I checked her knee and it looked infected. We took her to the hospital and found out that it was cellulitis.
Britney: Is your daughter okay?
Erica: She is okay now. The doctor said they are often not serious if addressed on time.
Britney: I hope your daughter gets better. At times like this many people blame god for natural disasters. But there is a scripture in Isaiah 63:9 that says: During all their distress it was distressing to him”.
Britney: This scripture means that god has empathy, he feels for us when we suffer. So, would a god that feels for us when we suffer cause natural disasters?
Erica: No, he wouldn’t that gave me comfort cause a few years ago. My sister died in a hurricane and I blamed god for that. I thought he was punishing me. But now that I see that scripture from the bible it reassures me.
Britney: I am so sorry for your loss. You know the bible explains that natural disasters aren’t punishments from god but are a part of the world we live in due to humans damaging the natural environment and building in areas prone to earthquakes, floods, and extreme weather.
Erica: You know I knew that people were damaging the earth with pollution but I didn’t know people were building where natural disasters are prone to happen.
Britney: Yes, I didn’t know that either until a few years ago, when an earthquake hit my home and my mother made us prepare for a natural disaster when we thought it would never happen where we lived. Revelations 21:3,4 also shares a promise that one day god’s kingdom will eliminate all suffering including natural disasters.
Erica: Oh, I have to go Thank you for the scripture.
Britney: You are welcome.

Sure! Here’s your talk with the main points reordered and slightly modified for clarity:


Britney: Mrs. Brooks, I heard that the students were saying your house was torn down a week ago because of the terrible storm we had.

Erica: Yes, I went to bed that night, but it was already raining. Then my daughter woke me up at midnight and said she heard the siren going off. Next, I could feel my house shaking, and then lightning hit my roof. I grabbed my daughter and got us out of the house.

Britney: Wow, that sounds terrifying. Are you and your family okay?

Erica: Yes, we are. We lost everything in the tornado. While we were running in the rain, my daughter scraped her knee on the ground. We thought it was nothing, but after we sought shelter at a friend’s house, she started to have a fever that just wouldn’t go down. When I checked her knee, it looked infected. We took her to the hospital and found out it was cellulitis.

Britney: Is your daughter okay now?

Erica: She is, thankfully. The doctor said it’s often not serious if addressed on time.

Britney: I hope your daughter continues to improve. At times like this, many people blame God for natural disasters. But there's a scripture in Isaiah 63:9 that says: “During all their distress, it was distressing to him.”

Erica: That is comforting.

Britney: This scripture means that God has empathy; He feels for us when we suffer. So, would a God who feels for us when we suffer really cause natural disasters?

Erica: No, He wouldn’t. You know, a few years ago, my sister died in a hurricane, and I blamed God for that. I thought He was punishing me. But now that I see that scripture from the Bible, it reassures me.

Britney: I’m so sorry for your loss. The Bible explains that natural disasters aren’t punishments from God; they are part of the world we live in, particularly due to human choices—like damaging the natural environment and building in areas prone to earthquakes, floods, and extreme weather.

Erica: I knew people were damaging the earth with pollution but didn’t fully realize that people were building in those hazardous areas.

Britney: Yes, I learned about that too. A few years ago, when an earthquake hit my home, my mother made us prepare for a natural disaster, even when we thought it would never happen where we lived. And Revelation 21:3, 4 shares a promise that one day God’s Kingdom will eliminate all suffering, including natural disasters.

Erica: Oh, I have to go. Thank you for sharing those scriptures with me.

Britney: You’re welcome! I hope they bring you comfort.
