WEBVTT
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:08.160
When we have a problem where things go wrong, we can make a tune up.
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.919
Yeah, we're writing a song.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:10.880
Sing it with me now.
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.480
Hi, it's me Benjamin, and I'm Bloop.
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.640
And this is Bloop on the Stoop, where we answer kids' questions and turn them into songs.
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.320
And today we are going to hear from Roxy, who is nine years old.
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.399
Hi, my name is Roxy.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.880
I'm nine years old and I live in New York.
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:41.679
My family and I went to go and visit Columbia, which is in South America, and they experienced an earthquake.
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.960
We were luckily 200 miles away from it.
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:56.880
And on the news, I heard that there was a lot of buildings that fell and a lot of houses that fell and people lost their houses and lives.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:04.560
So it was really sad and really nervous when that happened.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:11.040
And if I am ever in an earthquake bloop, what can I do?
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.799
Thank you for your question, Roxy.
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.319
I'm so sorry that that happened.
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.680
I'm so glad that you are okay and that your family is okay.
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.280
And I'm so sad that there are some people who are not okay in this disaster.
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.480
After an earthquake is a time when we can take a lesson from our friend Mr.
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:25.040
Rogers.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:25.760
Oh yeah, Mr.
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.760
Rogers, who said look to the helpers.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.239
And that's a message for kids, which means there are always people when big and sad and scary things happen who are helping.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:45.439
And it can be helpful for you just to learn about those people, to know that there are people who are keeping everybody safe, who are trying to put out fires, who are trying to help everybody they can.
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.359
So that's something that I think about a lot, and I think can be helpful for a lot of kids.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:56.079
So earthquakes happen when two plates of the earth, the earth looks like a big smooth ball, but it's actually made out of little plates.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:04.480
And when two plates kind of bump against each other, it can cause something called an earthquake, which is when you feel the earth shake around you.
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.680
And they can be very small.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:12.000
I've felt two small earthquakes in my life, and I was a little nervous, but I knew I was okay, and those are not that dangerous.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:18.159
There are bigger earthquakes when it's kind of a bigger push, it makes more energy, and that can be when it's really dangerous.
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.120
So what can you do?
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.639
If an earthquake is happening, there's a few things that you can do to stay safe.
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.360
So one, if you are outside, you want to stay outside.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.400
You want to stay away from any buildings or any trees, be kind of out in the open if you can.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.400
If you are inside, you want to stay inside, and then there's a three-part thing that you can remember, which is drop.
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:37.280
Like drop down?
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.120
Yeah, like drop down, cover.
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.560
Oh, like go under something.
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.879
Yeah, go under something, and then hold on.
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:50.400
Usually in most places there's a table, you can try and go under the table, and you can hold on to a leg, and that keeps you safe in case anything falls down.
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.879
Okay, and then what about after this?
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:59.280
Well, often earthquakes are pretty quick, so you can just wait until the earthquake is over and you can tell other people that phrase.
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.080
If only there were a little song that went with it.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.080
Yeah, so sometimes we write a full song.
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.360
Here I think what we can do.
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:12.879
So you can make a beat with your hands like this, and you can say drop, cover, hold on.
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:14.159
Can you say that with me?
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.479
We're gonna say drop, cover, hold on.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.639
We can even do a few little motions for it.
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.319
You could do drop, cover, hold on.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:25.680
You wanna do that with me?
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.080
We're gonna do drop, cover, hold on.
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.159
And those are some things that you can remember.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:33.840
So, Roxy, I hope that helps.
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.360
I know you have lots of people who are taking care of you and looking out for you.
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.520
And I hope to see you soon.
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:39.919
That's all.
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:40.560
Goodbye.
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:42.719
Goodbye, shoo shoon, goodbye.
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:08.160
When we have a problem where things go wrong, we can make a tune up.
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.919
Yeah, we're writing a song.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:10.880
