Emergency Preparedness: Are You Ready?

The students were divided into two groups: one representing a family that will stay at their home, and one representing a family that will have to evacuate or leave their home,

Each group had to pack a large rubber tote with all of the emergency materials that would be required for 72 hours (3 days) that they then presented to the rest of the class.

​​Important items to remember:

• important papers
• extra sets of keys (house, car)
• hand operated can openers
• hand crank flashlights
• medication
• toilet paper
• water
• dog food, and bowls, leashes
• food (dry goods, canned goods)
• clothing for each family member
