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.
