DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON!
Learn what to do during an earthquake, whether you're at home, at work, at school or just out and about. Taking the proper actions, such as "Drop, Cover, and Hold On", can save lives and reduce your risk of death or injury. During earthquakes, drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it firmly. Be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.
How did you protect yourselves Room 9? I ran and stood in the door-way of my bedroom. Post a comment telling me what you did.
Remember to keep safe and enjoy the sunshine while it's out today!

Emma.H and I got out of bed and got under my doorway with a torch in my hand. The shaking went on for a huge amount of time. Emma.H was at our house for a sleepover. Her Dad came and picked her up because her Mum was frightened.

ReplyDeleteWe hope that you are all feeling a bit better now and safe. When do you go back to school? We hope that you have a good day and that there aren't anymore earthquakes. From Room 2 at Hokitika Primary School.

ReplyDeleteMy Mum got me from my shaking bunk and Dad got Amber and we both ran to the door frames ,it was scarey and I was shaking the whole time it was very dark and that was lucky because we didn't see the stuff moving .It was hard to find the torch .I hope there are no more aftershocks ever again .
