Prepare for a disaster
Listen to the conversation again and notice the Earthquake safety tips.
Teacher: Thank you, Mrs Fors. That was a great presentation! Class, do you have any questions for Mrs Fors
Student 1: Mrs Fors, I think you’re a hero. And Lucky is very cute. I’d like to know what we can do to prevent natural disasters.
Ms Fors: Well, there’s no way to prevent earthquakes and storms. But if we prepare, we can keep them from becoming disasters that kill or injure people. To be ready, we should make a safety list of what to do, where to go, and who to contact.
Student 1: So what should we do if there’s an earthquake
Ms Fors: Remember to “drop, cover, and hold on”. Drop down onto your hands and knees,
cover your head with your hands, and stay away from glass, windows, or anything
that could fall. You could find cover under a desk or table. Hold on to the desk or
table so it doesn’t move away from you.

Ms Fors: Well, if you’re trapped, you can use a cell phone to call or text for help. You can also tap on a pipe or a wall, or whistle for help. That way Lucky and I can find you!
Student 2: I have a question for Lucky. Do you like being a rescue dog
Ms Fors: Lucky, what do you say
[Sound of dog barking twice]
Teacher: I think he says he’s a lucky dog.
