Disaster Preparedness
📋 What it is
Being prepared for natural disasters — knowing the plan, having supplies, staying calm — keeps you and your family safer.
🗣️ Coach says
Storms, quakes and floods are scary, but preparation shrinks the fear. Know your family’s plan and meeting spot, have a few supplies ready (water, flashlight), and stay calm enough to follow the plan. Prepared is powerful.
🧠 Memory hook
Know the plan + meeting spot + a few supplies = prepared, not scared.

I'm something you leave behind every time you go online — you can't see me, but others can find me. What am I?
A digital footprint!
😲 Whoa!
Keeping a simple “go bag” with water, a flashlight and a snack means your family can act fast in any emergency.
✅ Quick check: Name one thing a family can do BEFORE a natural disaster to stay safer.
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
e.g. make a plan with a meeting spot, prepare an emergency kit (water, flashlight), or learn the local warnings. (Any valid step.)
Prepare-before shows kids that safety comes from planning, not luck.
