Earthquake Preparation Assignment
Since we live in earthquake territory, this assignment is designed to help you and your family become better prepared in the event of a big earthquake or other disaster.
1. Plan and write an escape route for your family to get out of the building you live in. Give clear travel directions, and draw a map including all rooms in your home. Include a family meeting spot outside of the house, and show where the gas shut off is for your home. Turn in map and written escape directions.
2. Plan and write down a list of materials for the disaster supply kit for your home. All the supplies for the kit must fit in an average sized gym bag. Make the bag with your family, and put it in an accessible location. If your family already has an earthquake kit, check to make sure it is up to date and all supplies are in good condition. Turn in your disaster kit list and either a photo of your kit or have your parent sign your list, and write on it that you made the kit.
