My goal is to build a shelter that serves two purposes for a camp on the Oregon Coast known as Twin Rocks Friends Camp. The camp is situated along the Oregon Coast and directly in a tsunami zone. However, part of the camp is on a mountain locally known as Charlottes Mountain. The problem the main camp is located within the tsunami zone so it will be wiped out when a tsunami hits our coast, which will happen eventually. The camp has an evacuation plan, and just purchased a tsunami siren.

When a tsunami wreaked havoc on Indonesia two years ago, the tragedy struck home. I, too, live in a disaster-prone community. Tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are all highly plausible occurrences. I wanted to do something to ensure that if a natural disaster struck my community, families would be prepared. I looked for materials that would instruct young children on what to do and what to expect in an emergency. I checked the library, wondering if there were any storybooks about natural disasters, but found none.

Julia and Caroline stood their ground in the rain on January 8th, selling over $500 worth of brownies and cookies to help kids in Asia. And they baked them all from scratch. Nothing beats good food for a good cause!
