If I lived close to the sea i would collect up bottled water,canned food,blankets,pillow and torches
ReplyDeleteOh and a phone to contact family.
I would probably be really scared to!!!
I would drive to higher ground with my pets.
thanks for reading...
From giggles!!! =)
If I heard the warning at my house I would'nt do anything because we live on an averagely high hill. And I don't live too close to the sea anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in christchurch or near the sea when I hear the warning I'd most definitly stop what I was doing and go home because there'd have to be one ginormous wave to have any effect out were I live.
But if I was on holiday somewhere near the coastline I'd definitly head inland.
If there was a realy big wave it might hit where i live. I heard the warnings yesterday because my grandad told me.
ReplyDeleteI would freak out if i lived near the water or near the beach and if i did i would get my phone (to contact family), pets, food, warm clothes, water, a first aid kit and my faviourate things in my room that are portable and i would evacuate to higher ground.
if i herd the warning and was by my self i would contact my family to meet me at a perspific place and tim if i had no credit i would ask someone to use there phone to contact family i would remind my family to pack first aid kit, blankets, torches, matches, non perishable foods, water, baterys and any thing eles inportant.from aroha
ReplyDeleteSoon as i live not very close to any sea i would probably ignore the warning but if i lived rather close to the oceans edge I would evacuate too higher ground. I would bring my pets, firstaid kit, my phone, canned food(can opener) bottled water, batterys, a blanket, a torch, matches and other emergancy items. But if it was possible i would pack my room up in a sack and take that with me. But its not :(

soon as my family dont live very close to the sea it wouldnt affect us most likely. but if it was to hit us we would get bottled water, canned food, comfort, can opener, torchs, matches, first aid kit, and probably a craft knife and pets and then drive to higher ground like some where like the ashley forest.

My family and I wouldn't have done anything because we live far inland but if we lived close to the sea we would pack canned food and blankets, a can opener, torch, celephone, bottled water, batteries and other emergency items. We would have been really calm about it and we would have driven further inland.

KATIE!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteif was in a situation facing a tsunami higher ground is definatly where i would head first after grbbing my family and maybe anything prisous to as it would most likly be washed away
oh and a cellphone with good coverage to arrange a meeting place after with family incase we get seperated letterbox maybe??????
ReplyDeleteIf we were at the beach we would go to higher ground as soon as we heard the warning.
ReplyDeleteAs we don't live near the beach the water shouldn't reach us.
Matthew
If my family and I were at the beah we would leave and go to higher ground.
ReplyDeleteIf we were somewhere in land we wouldn't worry about it but we would definitely go if we were close to the sea!!!

ReplyDeleteWe would probably drive to the gondola, go up it and look out to all the beaches and watch the tsunami, because we normally like to watch exciting things or things that don't happen normally but still want to be safe.
ReplyDeleteFrom Rose.
My family and I don't live close enough to a beach for the tsunami to really affect us, but if we did we would take, a first aid kit, sleeping bag, pillows, canned food, a can opener, our little pony dimples =), our dalmation kelly, torches, and all of mum and dads really important documents like passports and insurance papers (and I'd probably bring along a lot of books!!)
ReplyDeleteLucy =)
we dont live any where near a beach but we do live next to a river and we would pretty prepard if it flooded we a 30'000 liter wator tank and whole lot of meat in our freser
ReplyDeleteryan!!! =]
My auntie said that on the news she heard that a family was living in Hiate when the earthquake hit there and went straight to Chili to stay with their oldest son and the earthquake hit there so unfortunately for them two really big disasters have hit them but fortunately they survived them!!!
ReplyDeletewouldn't that be freaky?
from giggles! =D =P
My family and i would move to higher ground if we were near the beach. We would pack survival items(water,cans,can opener,blanks,cellphone,batteries,torch,speare clothes,first aid kit.But because where inland more we wont worry so much, if we werent we defently would go to higher ground.
ReplyDeleteFrom Erin!! :)

As I live inland I would not take much action to a tsunami, but if I were closer to the coast I would, probably depending on what coast I was on, move inland.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good idea to keep extra food and water at home and listen to the radio for any
updates.

If there were warnings of a tsunami I wouldn't go to the beach or near the sea. If the warnings continued I would get supplies such as food and go to the hills.
ReplyDeleteBy Fergus
I wouldn't go to the beach either. My family has a supply kit for events like this. Though, I doubt the tsunami would even reach me.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... We live quite close to the beach and we didnt do anything about it because we didnt think it would come this far and it didnt :) But if we were closer i would get my pets, food, phone and any photos and importent things in my room. And go to higher ground!
