In picture 1, I can see five soldiers. They are wearing army clothes. They are all wearing gloves and hats. Four of them are looking through binoculars and one person is writing on a piece of paper. There is a vehicle behind them. I think it is a tank.
In picture 2, there is a large train engine. It is black with a red front with the letters ‘SP’ in white. It has come off the tracks, but it hasn’t fallen over. There are two men by the side of the tracks in yellow jackets. I think they are discussing what to do.
In picture 3, there are a number of people walking along a raised walkway which runs along a flooded street. The people are wearing boots and pulling small suitcases along so I think they are being evacuated from a flooded town. Along the side of the street there are shops, but they are partly under the water.
In picture 4, there is a rescue worker and a search and rescue dog. They are in a collapsed building. I can see broken concrete walls. The dog is looking into an area which has collapsed and maybe it can smell a person trapped there. The man is wearing safety gear. He is wearing blue coveralls and a hard hat with a light on it.
