Most Adults Just Don’t Think Much About Emergency Preparedness
In our neck of the woods, the KnoWhat2Do Emergency Preparedness program provides valuable information and tools to all citizens of North Central Texas in planning and preparing before disaster strikes. Under the motto, “Think. Prepare. Act.” the campaign demonstrates real practices that people can put into action for their own lives. KnoWhat2Do materials are freely and readily distributed to residents on the www.knowhat2do.com website, through educational DVDs, a disaster preparedness guide and a series of public events, presentations and public service announcements — we could go on and on.

Sure Kids Bring Home Germs, But They’re Also Carriers of Knowledge
Think about it. When the government mandated seat belts for automobiles, who were the best advocates? Kids, of course! Surely everyone remembers the cries of the kids in the backseat: “Daddy doesn’t have his seat belt on!” So what better way to spread the Emergency Preparedness gospel than through our kids? Get the kids involved and the adults will soon follow their lead.

To get our kids involved, TFG created a section of the KnoWhat2Do website geared towards children. We started with the really young ones, the grade-school types. KnoWhat2Do’s new kid site has games and pages for coloring and various activities geared towards teaching children about emergency preparedness. The site content also encourages kids to share their knowledge with their parents. If we believe the children are our future, (and we do), treat them well and let them lead the way. We couldn’t resist saying it.
