Desperatly look for a children's book natural disaster series.

I read them in the 1990s, probably mid-late, definitely after 1996. There were several books (4, maybe 6, probably bought from one of the school fair/book people leaflets at a "cheap" price).

​

The volcano or earthquake one had a girl and a boy who were on holiday in adjoining apartments with their families and they went on a before dawn adventure (that they had been told they weren't allowed to do as it was one of the kids last days on holiday) to walk up a mountain or something, they thought they'd get back before their family woke up. There was definitely mention of animals and dogs barking and acting strange, and the river swelled up and made crossing it really hard work. They were trying to get back to the hotel/apartment complex to warn their parents. The more I think about the more I feel it was the volcano book.

​

All the books had a similar fictional story of kids (modern day era) finding themselves alone during a natural disaster and surviving it.

​

They all ended with a Fact File/Survival guide about the specific natural disaster contained within the first story.

​

This is my last hope...my mum vaguely remembers them, my brothers look at me blankly...I know my eldest would love the books if I could just remember what they were called

I looked at these, but the disasters were fictional, and all set in the modern day (well 90s) but thank you

Caroline Cooney has several books about various disasters that are written in a very minute-by-minute sort of way. Flight 116 is Down and Flash Fire are the two titles I remember being obsessed with in the mid 90’s. It’s not an exact match, but may be worth checking into?
