Discussing Disasters with Children

Published: Tuesday, 28 September 2021 12:30

Greetings from your Emergency Services Coordinator and happy fall!

With the school year well underway I thought I would introduce some information regarding discussing emergency planning with children or younger folks. You can find this information below, Discussing Disasters With Children.

I even included some games you can play with your younglings as an introduction to the concept. 

I hope you enjoy them and find them useful. Be safe and be awesome to each other.
