National Preparedness Month: Teacher Tips
By Orange County Supervisor Pat Bates
Schools are an important and integral part of a child’s life. Having an emergency situation away from home can leave children feeling frightened, confused, and insecure. The best way to help students feel safe about disasters is to educate them.
Make sure they understand they are an important part of your school’s emergency plan. Good planning ahead of time will expedite a rapid, coordinated, effective response when a crisis does occur.
