When an earthquake occurs, prepare yourself so that you will be okay.

Do you know about the disaster called "earthquake"?
When an earthquake occurs, the ground and buildings shake.
Earthquakes come in many different types, from very small ones that we don't even notice, to large ones that knock down furniture in the house and destroy buildings.
If a big earthquake were to occur, we might not be able to go about our daily lives as usual.
Also, in a big earthquake, if furniture falls and buildings are destroyed, we may be injured or, in some cases, even killed.
When a big earthquake occurs, we must be prepared so that we do not get injured or killed.
And to make sure you don't get into any trouble, you should also prepare as you normally would by keeping water and food in your home.

When you look at this website you will see the following:
