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 http://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 and evacuation route.

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

• Hold drills in your house.
