Tips for Preparing Children for Emergencies
With kids returning to school, now is the perfect time to review your home emergency preparedness plan so that your family is ready for anything. As parents, there are lots of things that we can do to prepare our little ones and keep them safe. Here are four key steps that we can all take to help prepare for an emergency:
1. Talk to your kids about disaster risks in Calgary.
2. Include them in your household’s emergency planning.
3. Look for opportunities to learn more about emergency preparedness.
4. As a family, walk through how to prepare your home for an emergency.
The Ready Squad e-course was designed to teach kids about Calgary’s disaster and emergency risks, how they can prepare, and how to stay safe during an emergency. Children can also download the Junior Weather Forecaster’s Challenge – a fun and creative way for everyone to learn more about the weather and its effects in Calgary.
