This summer I read a book called Finding Someplace. Finding Someplace is about a girl named Reesie who lived in New Orleans which got flooded during Hurricane Katrina. She was all alone in the house and she had to get everything into her backpack. She waited out the storm with the old lady that baked cakes and lived down the street. After the hurricane, she moved to New Jersey because everything in New Orleans was destroyed.

If I had to pack my backpack for a hurricane, I would bring a flashlight so I could see at night, a box of batteries for the flashlight, a phone to contact literally anyone, my family’s passports because that’s the only way to travel around the world and they’re expensive. I would also pack my wallet so I have money, two water bottles and some food so I can survive, a tent for shelter, and a lighter and candles for warmth. These are the things I would have in my backpack if I was in Hurricane Katrina.
