The people of Pompeii were unprepared for an
emergency, and they were in big trouble! Imagine that
you work for an Emergency Response Team, and you
live in a town near a dangerous volcano. You receive a
warning that you have one day to get the townspeople
safely out before the volcano erupts. Write a paragraph
that explains your emergency plan. First, write an
introductory sentence explaining how you will tell
everyone about the emergency plan. Next, write a plan,
with at least three steps, that explains how people can
safely leave the town before the volcano erupts. Make
sure your ideas are in complete sentences.
