Was this a chapter book?Any of these earthquake books? (Earthquakes -- children's/young adult fiction)
What country do you feel it was set in?
Your description reminds me of Shatterbelt and Aftershock! : the sequel to Shatterbelt by Colin Thiele, the latter of which does include both of what you described. Earthquake town by Beverley Dunlop, set in New Zealand, has earthquake and tidal wave. There's a lot more earthquake books to check out though ( Search results for 'kw:earthquake' > '1960..1990' > 'Book' > 'Fiction' > 'English' > 'Juvenile' ).

thank you so much for your suggestions! I am currently waiting for my boyfriend to let me know if any of them are familiar. I will keep you posted. Thank you again!

Thank you very much for your help!
Earthquake town by Beverley Dunlop to me seems most likely, but see what he says!

Did the disaster happen at the beginning of the book or near the end?

The book that i'm looking for I believe had black and white pages, but the cover was possibly red. And inside it was a story about a kid who knew some destruction was going to come soon to a city, I say city because I remember long streets that were steep, resembling San Francisco...an earthquake and or a major flood. Unfortunately, I can't pierce into my mind and remember any more descriptions other than what I just wrote. I did read this book in 4th grade and below.
Thank you!
