Be a hero

At Ready.gov you can find great information on how to prepare your children for a disaster. Below is some of the basic information to get you started, but we encourage you to visit https://www.ready.gov/kids.

Get Your Kids On Your Team!

Preparing for emergencies shouldn't fall on your shoulders alone. Young children and teens alike need to be part of the process — for their own safety and sense of empowerment.

  • Work together to build an emergency kit.

  • Sit down as a family to talk about your communications plan.

  • Role-play what you would do during a disaster.

  • Hold fire drills in your house.
