//** ﻿Floods are very dangerous things so thats why i have been thinking and decied to do a new invention called a booble head. This will help if you are not safe and you need help. Let me explain some things about this bulb head. once there is a flood and you have nowere to go u will put on your bulb head and you will floote well your head will. This is the newest tecnology so you can depend on it. While you are floting you can send a warning that you are in trouble so they have enough time to come and help you. that means you wont die or drown. You can breath and it is highly safe for anyone. This also helps if you have medical disabilaties because your blood preshure dosent go up. In the past floods have killed many people what if that was you or someone from your family. There has been lots of floods like in Queensland where that has killed people. but if they used bulb heads not as much people would have died. This is a major problem 200,000 people were effected so what if we had bulb heads we would all be safe. So i reccomend for you to use these bulb heads and be safe from floods for ever. **//===== = = =__Tsunami AND fLOOD bulb head design:__ = =Design: Bulb head What it does: Signals 'help', helps you float and protects your head How this is useful: If you are in trouble, you can use the signal on the Bulb head. If you have trouble swimming, you can inflate the ring around it and the glass around it (like a space helamt) protects your head. =

What You Should Do
Be aware of tsunami facts. This knowledge could save your life! Share this knowledge with your relatives and friends. It could save their lives!
 * If you are in school and you hear there is a tsunami warning, you should follow the instructions of your teacher.
 * If you are at home and hear there is a tsunami warning, you should make sure you whole family is aware of the warning. Your family should evacuate your house if you live in a tsunami area. Move in an orderly, calm and safe manner to the evacuation place or to any safe site outside your evacuation zone. Follow the advice of local emergency and law enforcement authorities. Normally there will be signs hung up around the city where abouts you could go. Normally they would tell you to go up in the mountains or hills
 * If you are at the beach or near the ocean and you feel the earth shake, move immediately to higher ground. DO NOT wait for a tsunami warning to be announced. Stay away from rivers and streams that lead to the ocean as you would stay away from the beach and ocean if there is a tsunami.
 * Tsunamis generated in distant locations will generally give people enough time to move to higher ground. For locally generated tsunamis, where you might feel the ground shake, you may only have a few minutes to move to higher ground.
 * High concrete hotels are located in many low-lying coastal areas. The upper floors of these hotels can provide a safe place to find refuge should there be a tsunami warning and you cannot move quickly inland to higher ground. Local Civil Defense procedures may, however, not allow this type of evacuation in your area. Homes and small buildings located in low lying coastal areas are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures should there be a tsunami warning.
