Back to school is the perfect time to make sure your family is prepared for emergencies! 🚌🚨

Getting kids involved in emergency planning can help them feel more prepared and less afraid.
-Teach children how and when to call 911, and help them learn important contact information.
-Involve them in building an emergency kit and practicing your family’s evacuation and meeting plans.
-Don’t forget to include plans for pets, too!

The more prepared the whole family is, the safer everyone will be when an emergency happens. ❤️
