Ten readiness steps in ten calm stories - drop, cover, hold on, pillow in bed, away from windows, open space, pack the kit, meeting place.

Over 29 pages they practice drop, cover and hold on, learn what to do in bed, near windows and outdoors, pack a kit with water, food, a flashlight, a whistle and first aid, and find their family meeting place.
