Healthy Homes: Disaster Education for Youth and Families
All families and communities are at risk of a disaster, natural or man-made. Disasters usually happen with no warning. Families can be prepared by having a communication plan and emergency supply kits. Educating youth and families can reduce the physical and emotional impact of a disaster. The resources listed below can help families prepare for many types of disasters.
