When the earth shakes and the waters rise,
And the world around us starts to surprise,
We hear a siren sound so loud and clear,
A warning to evacuate, the danger is near.

An earthquake has struck with a devastating force,
And we must move quickly, without remorse.
The Richter scale measures the magnitude,
Of the quaking ground and the shaking mood.

As we flee to safety, we look to the sea,
And see a buoy bobbing, warning us to flee.
For a tsunami is coming, a tidal wave so high,
We must hurry and run, we cannot deny.

We follow the signs, and climb to higher ground,
Watching the destruction, the devastation around.
The fault line has shifted, the earth has moved,
And we must stay vigilant, we cannot be fooled.

So let us remember, when the earth starts to shake,
To heed the warning, and not make a mistake.
We must stay prepared, we must stay aware,
For disasters can strike, and catch us unaware.

Reflections

1. How did the characters feel when they heard the siren and had to evacuate?
2. What did the characters see and experience during the earthquake and tsunami?
3. How did the characters help each other during the journey to safety?
4. What lessons did the characters learn about being prepared for disasters?
5. What might the characters do differently if a similar disaster were to happen again in the future?
