Wherever you are, Drop Cover Hold is the right action to take. Image: LEARNZ.

How do you think your reaction during an earthquake drill might be different from an actual event? Image: LEARNZ.

Practising Drop Cover Hold is all about learning and getting better at it. Do you think there is anything these students could work on? Image: LEARNZ.

Checking house foundations is a good idea for natural hazard preparedness, especially if it is an older house. Have you ever seen the foundations at your house? Image: LRARNZ.

This joist is attached to a bearer, which in turn is fixed to the pile. You can't see the bearer as it is behind the plywood. I wonder what the pywood is there for. Image: LEARNZ.

What might happen if tall furniture like this bookcase is not fixed to the wall? Image: LEARNZ.

Blue tack on the bottom of ornaments that sit on shelves may prevent breakage during an earthquake. How else can you secure these sorts of items? Image: LEARNZ.

If you are connected to a gas line it pays to know where the connection is if you need to turn it off. Image: LEARNZ.

Like gas lines, it is also a good idea to know how to turn the water off if you need to during a natural hazard emergency. What if you are on a tank system? Image: LEARNZ.

Camping equipment like tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, etc may come in handy during an emergency. Image: LEARNZ.

Why might a barbeque be useful during an emergency? Image: LEARNZ.

Emergency food items can already be found in your pantry. Do you have enough food to last for about three days or more if needed? Image: LEARNZ.

Your local council website might be a good place to start when preparing for natural hazards. What other places are good for hazard communication? Image: LEARNZ.

The Red Cross Hazards App is a vital tool to help you get through emergencies and get disaster alerts. Image: LEARNZ. 

When was the last time you practiced drop cover hold? Image: LEARNZ.

Why is it a good idea to store water? Image: LEARNZ.

Why is it recommended to replace stored water every 12 months? Image: LEARNZ.

If you don't have a large tank to store water, you could try storing it in a few smaller containers. How much water do you need to store? Image: LEARNZ.

In many parts of Aotearoa it is important to know where a tsunami safe zone is. Image: LEARNZ.

This is a tsunami sign on the road at Owhiro Bay showing the route to safety. When should you follow this route? Image: LEARNZ.

When might it be safe to leave the tsunami safe zone after an earthquake has occurred? Image: LEARNZ.

Volcanoes on the Central Plateau are a natural hazard threat. Do you know what volcanoes these are? Image: LEARNZ.

Looking towards Lyall Bay and nearing touchdown. Image: LEARNZ.

Andrew and the ambassadors went for a stroll around the Parliament grounds. You could do a search on how resilient the Beehive is to earthquakes. Image: LEARNZ.
