Yesterday at 1.35 pm nation wide everyone practised the Shake Out which is a practise drill for encase of an earthquake then followed with a tsunami caused by the hokitika gorge(For Greymouth Schools). We started with a intercom come through round the time of 1.35 - 1.40 pm which signalled that there was an earthquake so we dropped got underneath a table with our heads facing in holding our heads in a turtle position (Make sure your not near a window). Next we were warned on the intercom that it was safe to leave but there was a tsunami coming caused by the hokitika gorge so we evacuated and started heading up to our safe area which is at the top of a school friends driveway (We would be running in a real tsunami). When we got up to the hill Mrs O (Our Principal) started talking to us she always brings a rubbish bin filled with supplies just encase. After when we were cleared back to classrooms we talked about what we could do better, what did we think we did good and just answering some questions. I think Yesterday was a really good example for what we would do.
