Footsteps in the Fog

Written by Margaret Mahy
Illustrated by Gavin Bishop

'Fog,' Ivy was shouting. "'One of those fogs.' 'Its rolling in on us,' said Wendy. 'It wasn't there and then suddenly it was.'

Unlike her brothers and sisters, Anthea cannot see. As the children walk down to the beach one day, their mother told them to take care of her. While they play on the sand a thick fog rolls in from the ocean. It's up to Anthea to get them home safely.

When The Ground Begins To Shake

Drop-Drop down onto your hands and knees (before the earthquake knocks you down). This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.

Cover-Cover your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) under a sturdy table. If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall (or next to low-lying furniture that won't fall on you), and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.

Hold-Hold on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around.
