English term or phrase: Get to higher ground
Hi everybody. I'd like to know how to translate this. Get to higher ground. Thanks in advance.

the kids kept saying = we need to get to higher ground ! we need to get to higher ground ! when they got to the other back part of the woods , there was like a big ocean view and all of a sudden, you could see this huge giant wave forming . then, the wave came right in that . it washed them off their feet in these woods . two of the little boys didn’t make it . the littlest one did . he was kinda like a little monkey on her back . he was grabbing unto her . she was so scared for the other two children . she tried so hard to find them . she had this one little boy .

les enfants n'arrêtaient pas de dire = nous devons aller à un terrain plus élevé ! nous devons aller plus haut ! quand ils sont arrivés à l'autre bout de la forêt, il y avait comme une grande vue sur l'océan et tout d'un coup, on pouvait voir cette énorme vague géante qui se formait . puis la vague est arrivée juste là . elle les a emportés dans ces bois . deux des petits garçons n'ont pas réussi à s'en sortir . il était un peu comme un petit singe sur son dos . il s'est agrippé à elle . elle avait si peur pour les deux autres enfants . elle a tant essayé de les retrouver . elle avait ce petit garçon là .

we need to get to higher ground !

nous devons aller / arriver / atteindre plus haut !

nous devons arriver / atteindre à un terrain plus élevé !

nous devons arriver à un terrain surélevé !

nous devons atteindre / nous rendre à un terrain plus élevé !

nous devons nous diriger / atteindre / arriver à des terres plus élevées !

disagree  Daryo: pour remonter il faut d'abord descendre ou avoir fait une pause en montant - aucune mention de l'un ou l'autre dans le texte.
