Earthquake Awareness & "Great ShakeOut" A Teachers Toolkit Provided By Kentucky Emergency Management
Dear Parents/Guardians, As a part of Earthquake Awareness Month in Kentucky your student will be participating in a week-long instructional unit, Earthquake Awareness & "Great ShakeOut". This unit will provide a thorough understanding of earthquakes and how to better prepare for them and other natural disasters at school and at home. At school, students will engage in a number of activities including: locating fault zones in and near Kentucky, demonstrating safe behavior during an earthquake simulation, identifying potential hazards within the classroom in the event of an earthquake, constructing a school survival kit, and participating in a school-wide Drop, Cover, and Hold On drill. This will be a very exciting and beneficial week for your student. I am inviting you to share in this learning experience together at home. Additional discussions will further increase your students interest and knowledge of earthquakes and disaster awareness. Take-home lessons will be sent with your student nightly for home-based reinforcement. Each lesson will include a discussion question (for which your student will have previously discussed at school), and a related activity to complete. The intent of these lessons is to improve your familys awareness and preparedness in the event of an earthquake or other natural disaster. Below is a list of discussion questions for each lesson: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday - What fault system in Kentucky poses the largest threat for an earthquake and where is it located? - What can I do before, during, and after an earthquake to stay safe? - Can my family members and I practice earthquake preparedness by holding a Drop, Cover, Hold On drill at home? - What are potential hazards at home that could cause damage or injury in the event of an earthquake? - How can we implement changes to reduce these hazards? - What items are needed in order to assemble a Home and Vehicle Survival Kit? - Do we have a Family Communication Plan for our home? - Can we show we are prepared for a disaster by conducting a family earthquake drill at home?
I am looking forward to participating in Earthquake Awareness & "Great ShakeOut" with your student! By working together at school and home, we can ensure a greater understanding of earthquakes and how to better prepare ourselves for a natural disaster. If you have any questions or comments during this unit, please feel free to contact me at school. Sincerely,

Procedure
Materials/Resources Required Earthquake Science PowerPoint Presentation (place on transparencies or show using projector) Earthquake Anticipation Guide (copy for each student) Earthquake Notes and Sketches (copy for each student) Earthquake Myth Take-home Activity (copy for each student) Pencil for each student/1 for teacher demonstration (hands on activity)
1.Prior Knowledge: Activate prior knowledge by asking students the following brainstorming questions: Has anyone here ever witnessed an earthquake? Does anyone know why earthquakes occur? Can you point out on a map or globe where earthquakes can and/or have happened?
Suggested Time Allotment

60 minutes Prior Knowledge: 15 minutes Activity 1 & 2 : 30 minutes Activity 3: 15 minutes
2.Activity 1: Pass out a copy of the Earthquake Anticipation Guide to each student. Read the directions aloud with students, then allow them to complete the chart as directly independently. 3. Once all students have finished, read aloud each statement and check students prior knowledge by allowing them to raise their hand if they voted either true or false. Choose a student from each viewpoint to share with the class their reasoning for voting either way. Use this knowledge to build on students prior knowledge and/or correct misconceptions during the PowerPoint Presentation. 4.Activity 2: Hand out a copy of the Earthquake Notes and Sketches pages to each student and prepare for the showing of the Earthquake Science PowerPoint Presentation (Instructional Resource 1). Students should be instructed to complete each section of the Notes and Sketches pages as they are viewing each slide of the PowerPoint Presentation. When you come to the Hands on Activity section of the presentation, allow students to use their pencil to follow the directions and additionally model the activity for students at the front of the classroom. 5.Activity 3: When finished, hand out the Earthquake Myth Take-Home Activity. Read directions aloud with students to be sure they are understood. To close the lesson and to assess student learning, prompt students to fill in three remaining sections of the table before taking it home.

Earthquake Anticipation Guide

Before viewing the Earthquake Science PowerPoint, carefully read each statement below and write in each square whether you think it is true or false. After viewing, tell whether you were right about each statement (yes or no), and then use the information you have learned to restate each false statement to make it true.
Statement
1. Scientists can use clues from the weather to predict earthquakes. 2. During an earthquake, land can slide, roll, or shake, causing the earths surface to move up, down, or sideways. 3. After the West Coast, the New Madrid Fault System shows the highest earthquake risk in the central United States. 4. The earth is made up of one large plate of rock. When it breaks, an earthquake happens. 5. Earthquakes cannot occur in Kentucky, just tornadoes.
True/False

5. Earthquakes cannot occur in Kentucky, just tornadoes.
The earth is made up of about 20 plates, or large blocks of rock. When these plates push past each other and are squeezed together, this force causes cracks to form. There are two major fault zones in Kentucky that have and can cause an earthquake. 25
Lesson 1-Instructional Resource 1
Earthquake Science
The facts you need to know about earthquakes
What is an earthquake?
Earthquakes can cause the earths surface to move in many directions, such as up, down, or sideways.
Vocabulary:
Earthquake - sudden sliding, rolling, or shaking of the earths surface
graphic credit: FEMA
27
These movements occur along fault zones and are caused by broken rocks sliding past each other.
Vocabulary:
Fault zone a series of cracks in the earths surface
graphic credit: physicalgeography.net
28
The movement earthquakes produce can be felt over large areas, but often last less than a minute. Sometimes smaller earthquakes, called foreshocks can happen in the same place before a large or major earthquake, called a mainshock occurs. Small earthquakes can also happen after this large earthquake, and are called aftershocks. These can continue for weeks, months, and even years depending on the strength of the mainshock.
Foreshocks
Main Shock
Aftershocks
29
Earthquakes cannot be predicted by scientists. A seismograph is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. The ground motion (shaking) and the energy released by an earthquake can be measured using the Richter scale. 10 times the amount of shaking and 31 times the amount of energy represents 1 point of movement on the Richter Scale scale. 4 Minor Earthquake
5 6 7 8 Moderate Earthquake Strong Earthquake Major Earthquake Great Earthquake

Fun Facts
1. Earthquakes can also be known as quakes, shakers, or seismic activities. 2. The location below the earths surface where an earthquake starts is called a focus, also referred to as the hypocenter. The point on the earths surface that is directly above the earthquake is called an epicenter. 3. An earthquake may release 10,000 times the energy of the first atomic bomb.
31
What causes an earthquake?

The Earths surface consists of about 20 plates. These plates, or large blocks of rock, are constantly moving past one another in different directions and speeds.
32
Hands on Activity
Now, lets relate what we know about earthquakes and how they are caused using a pencil in our classroom. Hold a pencil vertically (long ways) with both hands, one at each end. Now apply a force at both ends of the pencil. Try to push the ends together. You should see the pencil begin to bend. If you pushed with enough force, the pencil would eventually break, releasing the pressure.
Vocabulary:
Force a push or pull upon an object caused by interaction with another object.
33
Just as your pencil would break if the force was strong enough, so does the Earths surface. When the plates push against each other the huge rocks are squeezed together causing a great force to build. When the force is great enough the plates crack, or break, relieving stress and pressure in the earth and causing an Earthquake.

34
We feel the vibrations from the earthquake because energy is released in the form of seismic waves that travel through the earth. Several times a year, earthquakes seismic waves are strong enough to really shake the earth and cause damage; anywhere from knocking down buildings, to even breaking trees in half. Sometimes people can even be killed.

35
Fun Facts Cont.

4. The plates of the earth move at about the same rate as your fingernails grow. 5. Is there such a thing as earthquake weather? No, There is actually no known connection between the cause of an earthquake and weather patterns. Earthquakes actually happen very far away from the earths surface and its weather. 6. Can earthquakes occur on the moon? Yes, Moonquakes caused by stress from the oceans tides, do occur, although they have less energy and happen less often.
36
Where are earthquakes located?

You have learned that earthquakes occur along fault zones on the earths surface. These fault zones actually connect the earth and its continents like puzzle pieces. Anywhere these puzzle pieces can push together, an earthquake can occur. That means an earthquake can happen anywhere in the world at anytime.
graphic credit: earthquake.biz
37
Since about 71% of the earth is covered in water, earthquakes usually occur in the oceans and are unnoticeable. On land, 95% of the worlds earthquakes occur along active fault zones in places such as California, Alaska, Japan, South America, and the Philippines.
Can you color a map of our countrys seismic activity risk?
38
Although our state is not one on the list, Kentucky does have an earthquake history and threat, likely to be added to in the future. In Kentucky, there are several major fault zones, located near both the Eastern and Western portions of the state.
graphic credit: uky.edu
39
An earthquake has happened here in Kentucky as recently as October 8, 2012. But, the largest and strongest earthquake recorded within our state happened on July, 27, 1980. The 5.2 magnitude earthquake was felt over 15 states, even as far as Ontario, Canada. With an epicenter near Sharpsburg (Bath County), damage was estimated at 1 million dollars.
40
graphic credit: answers.com & usgs.gov
In Kentucky, our largest earthquake threat comes from the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). It crosses the five states of Illinois (IL), Missouri (MO), Arkansas (AR), Tennessee (TN), and Kentucky (KY), and cuts across both the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Because they are so close the NMSZ also effects Indiana (IN), Alabama (AL), and Mississippi (MS). It is the highest earthquake risk in the United States after the West Coast.
41
graphic credit: yedda.com
In 1811-1812, the New Madrid experienced over 3,600 shocks lasting 5 months. Three of which were estimated at 7.8 or higher on the Richter scale. They caused church bells to ring along the Eastern coast, and damaged farm land so much it was unusable for years.
graphic credit: tnguy.com & physorg.com
42
The New Madrid seismic zone is still active, and hundreds of small quakes occur annually. Some are large enough to be felt. Below shows a map of the recent earthquakes that have occurred in and around Kentucky.
Graphic credit: folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu/recenteqs/ 43
Scientists predict earthquakes at a 7.5 or higher usually occur along the New Madrid every 200500 years. An earthquake this size is likely to shock half of the United States and cause damage in over 8 states.
44
To prepare for this type of earthquake, Kentucky has joined with the eights states most vulnerable to the effects of earthquakes in the NMSZ region. These states form the Central United States Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC) and are working to increase awareness and education. You are learning this week about earthquake preparedness to help protect yourself and family from future earthquakes.

Identify possible dangers during an earthquake (objects/places). Demonstrate and discuss the procedure to follow to stay safe and protected during an earthquake using the Drop, Cover, & Hold On method and how students can be helpful. 56
Procedure
Materials/Resources Required Shake, Rattle, & Roll PowerPoint Presentation (place on transparencies or show using projector) Shake, Rattle, & Roll Notes and Sketches (copy for each student) Earthquake Concentration Game School Activity (see special instructions in procedure 3). Earthquake Concentration Game Take-Home Activity (copy for each student) Earthquake Take-Home Activity Reflection (copy for each student) Stopwatches (for each pair of students) or a visible clock (hands on activity), baggies
1) Activate prior knowledge by asking students the following brainstorming questions: Activity 1: 40 minutes Activity 2: 15 minutes Has anyone ever felt an earthquake? If not, what do you think one might feel like? Activity 3: 5 minutes Can anyone estimate about how long an earthquake lasts? Does anyone know what they should do before, during, and after an earthquake occurs? 2) Activity 1: First, hand out a copy of the Shake, Rattle, & Roll Notes and Sketches pages (Activity 1) to each student and prepare for the showing of the Shake, Rattle, & Roll Science PowerPoint Presentation (Instructional Resource 2). Students should be instructed to complete each section of the Notes and Sketches pages as they are viewing each slide of the PowerPoint Presentation. When you come to the Hands on Activity section of the presentation, allow students to use the stopwatches or visible clock to complete the activity. 3) Activity 2: When finished, hand out the Earthquake Concentration Game School Activity instructions sheet. Read instructions aloud with students to be sure they are understood. (When copying, copy the instruction sheet for each student. Since students will be working in partners, copy front and back of the question & answer page, with each of the Partner 1 and Partner 2 pages. Half the class should have the Partner 1 cards and the other half Partner 2 cards to play with.) Allow students to play the game through at least once. Encourage students to compete against each other by recording their number of matches on a separate sheet of paper. 4) Call students back to their desks and prompt partners to bring back with them their original set of question and answer cards (each are labeled with the number 1 or 2). Give students a baggie to store cards in. Next, hand out the Earthquake Concentration Game Take-Home Activity (Activity 4) instructions and Reflection Sheet. Read instructions aloud with students to be sure they are understood. 5) Activity 3: Now lead students in a Drop, Cover, and Hold On drill in the classroom.

Shake, Rattle, & Roll
Are you prepared to help yourself and others?

What happens during an earthquake?

Pretend you have just gotten ready for school and you are enjoying a bowl of cereal whenKABOOM! The entire shelf of dishes collapses breaking dozens of plates, bowls, and cups; the painting on the wall slams to the floor sending shattered glass everywhere; and the ceiling fan above your head hangs down, dangling just above your head by only a cord.

An earthquake can happen in an instant, unexpectedly, and without any warning. When an earthquake occurs, it is important to know what to expect, how you may feel, what dangers may occur, and how to keep yourself and others safe.
61
What to Expect
Most earthquakes last only 30 to 60 seconds, which means you must react quickly. Your senses will experience certain things that will help you to know an earthquake is happening. You will be better prepared the earlier you are able to recognize these signs.
graphic credit: contest-timer.com
62
Hands on Activity
Now, lets see how well you can estimate the length of an earthquake using what you have learned. Break up into partners. One person will be the timekeeper and the other the earthquake. When your teacher gives the signal, timekeepers start keeping time and earthquakes start shaking. When the person representing an earthquake thinks he or she has shaken an appropriate estimate, stop shaking. The time keeper should stop time and both partners should record the length on the Notes & Sketches sheet. Switch roles and repeat, following all the steps listed above. Answer the questions that follow, and when all students are finished, share the results as a class.
63
During an earthquake you might feel the ground and other objects shaking or vibrating. You might see debris (broken stuff) and objects falling, swaying, or wobbling. With loss of electricity, you may even experience complete darkness. Sounds such as rattling glass, a blowing or hissing, or even objects colliding might be heard. You might even smell gas or something burning.
64

How will I feel?

Earthquakes can be frightening. It is okay to feel scared or anxious, but it is important to always stay calm, never panic, and do not run.
65

Dos and Donts

Once you know an earthquake is happening, now what do you do? What could you have done before the earthquake ever happened to be prepared? What are you supposed to do afterwards? There are certain dos and donts that can help you stay safe during an earthquake. Most of the damage caused is also predictable and preventable.
Vocabulary:
preventable - able to stop from happening predictable to know about before it happens

66
Before an Earthquake
Before an earthquake happens, you and your family should create a Family Communication Plan, organize a Home Survival Kit, and arrange your home for safety. You will learn more about these items in the following lessons, but keep in mind it is very important to plan for an earthquake. Then you can be prepared to stay safe when one actually occurs.
graphic credits: USGS
67
During an Earthquake
Now you know what to do before, lets pretend again an earthquake is happening. This time, lets focus on what you should do, not what is happening around you. First, protect yourself with the Drop (A), Cover (B), & Hold On (C) method.
graphic credits: usgs
68
Drop
If you are indoors, stay where you are. Drop to the floor. If you are outdoors, move out into the open or to a clear area. Avoid trees, buildings, large signs, power lines, or any other objects that might fall. If you are in a car, have the person driving safely pull the car over and stay inside your vehicle. Avoid overpasses, bridges, or power lines.
graphic credits: iceoe..org, wfrc.org, & leinbach.org
69
Cover
When indoors, find a sturdy (strong) piece of furniture like a table, desk, or bed to get underneath for Cover. If there is no strong furniture, then find an interior (middle) wall to move to. Cover your head and neck with your hands. Avoid large mirrors, hanging objects, shelves, or other objects that may fall over.
graphic credits:odpem.org & humboldt.edu
70
Hold On
Last, Hold On to what is covering you, that way if it moves you can stay with it, safely covered. Be sure to also attempt to Cover your head and neck with your hands.
graphic credits: usgs, scec, & ehow.com
71
After an Earthquake
Be careful and wait until the shaking stops.
Afterwards, check yourself and then your family members for injuries. Dont move seriously injured people unless they are at risk where they are located. If telephones are working, dial 911 or an emergency number for first aid. For your own safety, cooperate fully with public safety officials. Next, If you were using any fire or heat sources, turn them off immediately. Turn on your portable radio to hear instructions and news reports. Finally, find a secure exit. Be careful of broken glass and fallen debris. Tell an adult to turn off the water, electricity, and gas before exiting. After knowing you and your family are safe, check on others and neighbors.
72

Once an earthquake has occurred, it is important to still be prepared for aftershocks. These will likely be less strong, but can still cause damage.
Following the dos and donts of this PowerPoint will help you, your family, and the community you live in to stay safe and be better prepared for earthquakes.

2. Activity 1: Hand out a copy of the Watch out for Hazards! Notes and Sketches pages to each student and prepare for the showing of the Watch out for Hazards! PowerPoint Presentation (Instructional Resource 3). Students should be instructed to complete each section of the Notes and Sketches pages as they are viewing each slide of the PowerPoint Presentation. When you come to the Classroom Hazard Search (Activity 2) allow students to search the classroom individually or with a partner for possible hazards. Students will place tallies on the chart to represent each possible hazard in that specific category found. Compile a classroom list on the board or transparency of hazards found. After this you will come to the Correct the Hazards sheet (Activity 3). Allow students to write the possible hazard in the box of the action that will correct the hazard. After students are finished review correct answers with students using the Correct the Hazards Teacher Guide. Finally, you will make a class list using input from student checklists of changes that can be made to correct possible hazards in the classroom. Changes will fall into two categories of changes the class can make and changes the class will need extra help with. 3. Activity 4: When finished, hand out the Home Hazard Search Take-home Activity. Read directions aloud with students to be sure they are understood. To close the lesson remind students to include their family in this take-home activity.

Why should you prepare for a disaster?

Disasters can happen at any time without warning. You may need to evacuate your home or go several days without basic necessities. Rescue workers may not be able to reach you immediately, so it is your responsibility to be prepared for any type of crisis or disaster, including an earthquake, severe storms, flooding. Being well prepared will help your family stay safe, overcome challenges, and recover more effectively after disasters. Vocabulary:
necessity something you must have to survive responsibility a duty or obligation crisis a time of great difficulty or danger

We are already better prepared at school and home for potential earthquake hazards. After a disaster, we may be stranded without power or need to evacuate our homes. In these instances, we will need a Disaster Survival Kit that is ready to use or available to pick up and take with us.

emergency, other than an earthquake, where your Disaster Survival Kit could also be used?
Home and Vehicle Survival Kits

Tonight you will use your home and vehicle Survival checklists to assemble your Survival Kits at home. Encourage your family to help you gather essential items for each kit. Discuss with your family the importance of being well prepared for a potential disaster in order to improve your safety and chances of survival. It is important that everyone in your family knows where the kit is located.
Family Communication Plan

Tonight you will also develop a Family Communication Plan that will list contact information for relatives and friends that can be used in the event of a disaster. Ask your family to help you complete this plan. Once completed, hang it in a safe place where it can easily be located by every family member. A blank outline will be provided, which you will complete by entering contact information that is specific to your family.
Helpful Tip:
Write the name and number of a family member or friend who lives at least 100 miles away from you. Have everyone always carry this information with them. Use this contact to reunite with loved ones or inform each other of your whereabouts in the event you are separated during a disaster.

How can an earthquake drill increase awareness of earthquake safety in our school?
On February 7th, 2013 we will participate in The Great Central U.S. ShakeOut an eight state Drop, Cover, Hold On earthquake drill. Today we will practice a Drop, Cover, Hold On drill as if we were having a real Earthquake.
Graphic Credit: newsimg.bbc.co.uk
138
139
Procedures to Remember
1) Take immediate cover where you are at the first sign of an earthquake. The first shaking that is felt may be the foreshock. 2) When you take cover, remember to Drop, Cover, Hold On under a table, desk, or counter. If you are outside, go to an open area away from possible falling hazards. 3) Once you have taken cover, stay quiet and listen for directions from an adult. 4) Stay in a safe position until the shaking stops and an adult gives you instructions to evacuate the building. As you evacuate, be prepared to feel aftershocks.
Evacuation
If we evacuate the building we will follow our regular fire drill route to our designated safe outdoor area. While exiting the building look for things that may become a hazard during or after an earthquake. This can be anything that may fall, break, catch fire, or otherwise pose a risk for injury in the event of an earthquake. We will discuss these hazards after the drill, once we are safely back inside.
