What Parents Need to Know
About FEMA.gov/kids/
Parents need to know that this site has great information and resources about disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires, terrorism, and volcanoes) and disaster preparedness. A lot of the content is either made by kids and/or about kids. No commercialism, bad language, or sexual content to worry about here, though the topic and photos of disaster aftermath could make younger kids nervous.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what types of natural disasters are prevalent in their geographical area -- just click on a state in the "Go to the What's Happening Now" area to see what kind of disasters are typical. How can we be prepared for an earthquake (or fire, or flood)? What kinds of foods do we need to keep in the house and in the car? What other supplies do we need to stock up on? What should be our "just-in-case" family plan if there's a disaster?
