Ready Kids: Safety Training from Homeland Security
Posted by Judy Breck on January 11, 2008
Be Prepared in Every Situation purrs this activity-packed website for learning about safety created by the US Department of Homeland Security. The theme is built around a mountain lion family: we learn that mountain lions do not roar, they purr.
There are instructions, facts, activities, fun, games and more, all aimed at giving children the basics to stay safe in different kinds of dangers. The section for parents and teachers provides this bottom line advice:
We must have the tools and plans in place to make it on our own, at least for a period of time, no matter where we are are when disaster strikes. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security urges all Americans to: get a kit of emergency supplies; make a plan for what you will do in an emergency; and be informed about what might happen. Just like having a working smoke detector, preparing for the unexpected makes sense. Get Ready Now.
