Our Earthquake Survival Kits


We have made posters showing what supplies you need in an Earthquake or Natural Disaster. We designed these posters because we were learning about what we needed to do in an emergency or Earthquake. If you had to leave your home, and you had the supplies in our kits, you would have food and water and be able to survive better.

The reason why we have been looking at survival kits was because we have been looking at what has happened in Christchurch and discussing if we would be ready if an Earthquake was to
happen here.
