Kids Corner

Children sometimes feel very anxious during and after disasters.

Children are afraid that:

  • The event will happen again
  • Someone close to them will be killed or injured or
  • They will be left alone or separated from their family

HELPING CHILDREN COPE IN DISASTERS

  • Involve them in disaster preparedness activities
  • Provide simple information about the event and any plans for their safety
  • Involve your children in updating your family disaster plan and disaster supplies kit
  • Allow children to help in creating family communication plan and selection of meeting areas if they should become separated during a disaster
  • And ensure that children participate in school safety drills
