Asking other people
Prime Minister John Key
Next steps: I think that he might want to send food or help.
What is he doing about this?
He needs think about what the people need.
And how much money is going to be needed
I think that he should send for help or arrange food, water and
shelter.
He should stop what ever he is doing and get to the important
parts or the job !
Bob Parker (Mayor)

put a side for the damage?

people don’t have homes because of the
earthquake.
