ASSIGNMENT:
EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS!
Based on our discussions and on the various maps showing earthquake risk in California that we've looked at, we all know how important it is for all Californians to be ready for the Big One! So, your assignment is to use the following websites to lead a family discussion about earthquake preparedness. Your goal is to help your family make sure that your home and the people (and pets!) who live in it will be safe in an earthquake.
This may be the most important school assignment you ever do!
