It was a normal day in Altitude, a town high in the mountains. People were going about their daily routines, not knowing the disaster that was soon to come. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Then people were thrown off their feet and objects flew off shelves. The sound of breaking glass and falling buildings filled the air.
Alice, a young girl who was in her house when the earthquake struck, knew she had to act fast. She got her emergency kit, which included food, water, and a first—aid kit, and ran out of the house.
The streets were messy. Traffic lights were out, cars were overturned, and people were running in fear. Alice knew she had to get to higher ground.

After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.
Alice knew she had to help. She joined hands with other survivors and they began the rescue effort. With simple tools and their bare hands, they dug through the stones and bricks to find anyone who might be trapped inside.
