5.3.4 Project: Disaster Preparedness Project
Health Education Your Assignment, Part I
You and your friends are part of a disaster preparedness group in your community.
You want to make sure that families in your community are prepared for natural
disasters. This means that your city, town, or neighborhood should have a
comprehensive emergency preparedness plan that families can use when preparing
their own plans. This plan may be part of a region-wide plan. The same goes for
your school. The school should have its own plan that families can study. Your goal
is to make sure your community and school provide the best information to families
for preparing for a natural disaster.
First, research your community's and school's disaster preparedness plans.
1. Describe your community's disaster preparedness plan.
2. Describe your school's disaster preparedness plan.
Find out what they recommend families do to prepare for a disaster.
3. Which site did you go to? What does it recommend families do to prepare for a
natural disaster?
Your Assignment, Part II
You have researched what your community and school do to prepare for natural
disasters, and you have found out what the government recommends for a family
emergency preparedness plan. The next step is to prepare an emergency plan for
your own family.
Select one natural disaster that occurs in your area.
List the items that will be required in your family emergency preparedness plan for
this disaster.
What information from your community's disaster plan can be included in your own
emergency preparedness plan?
Which parts of your family plan require you to talk to other members of the family?
Discuss those areas with your family and record the information here.
