The Tsunami warning

Last Friday there was a tsunami, well the alarm went off just in case but the tsunami didn't actually happen. When I was video calling Paige on my mum's phone, the phone went 'meep, meep, meep'. I had no idea what was happening! I was glad that me and my family were in Auckland so we did not have to evacuate. Today in school we did a brainstorm about what we would need in an emergency pack. Before we made our brainstorm Ms Sands told us the story of the tsunami. She was near it but up high. All the people from below came up their driveway. The people from the hospital came in a bus. One lady was very sick and had to come into Ms Sands's house, but she was way to sick and sadly she passed away.at about four o'clock there was about 70 people between the two houses, inside and out.

In an emergency pack you will need; non-perishible food - muesli bars, crackers, nuts, tins. you'll also need batteries and torch, bug repellent, phone, portable chargers, radio, toilet paper, umbrella, water, medicine, first aid kits, and if you have a pet then you should bring them. All that needs to be packed and ready, also easy to grab in an emergency.

Is your family ready for an emergency?
