You've seen things that the other people on your team can only imagine.  Sure the others might see the damage that's left, but you've been there during a real disaster.  Now since you've lived to tell the tale, you know things that can help others survive.  Your report will help your team get a better idea about how much a disaster can change someone's life.  You'll be reporting on:

*Telling a witness's perspective of seeing and being in a disaster.

*What effects it had on your family, neighborhood, and/or community.

*How did you survive?  What will you do to survive next time?
*Remember* 

Your report should be at least 1 full page in length. It should focus on the questions above
and include the two most useful websites to you.  Follow all of the rules you would for a language arts writing prompt (proper grammar, paragraphs, spelling, etc.).  See the grading rubric for more information.
