September is National Preparedness Month | #GetReadyGetSafe

September is National Preparedness Month | #GetReadyGetSafe

September is National Preparedness Month Children are the most vulnerable in emergency situations. That’s why Save the Children encourages everyone to act to better protect kids BEFORE disaster strikes.

September is National Preparedness Month

  • Prep Step #1 = Make ICE cards for kids.
  • Prep Step #2 = Make an emergency plan and practice as a family. Here’s a checklist & tips.
  • Prep Step #3 = Make an emergency plan and practice as a family.

Did you know:

  • Every day, 69 million U.S. children are separated from their families while they are at school or child care.
  • After Hurricane Katrina there were more than 5,000 reports of missing children. It took 7 months to reunite the last child with her family.

Your child’s ICE card should include 3 emergency contacts — including an out-of- town contact, because during emergencies, local communications are often down. Make your ICE contact cards at www.SavetheChildren.org/ICE. It’s free and easy! Fill out one form for your whole family online (Save the Children will not store your child’s info anywhere). Print out the cards (you’ll get two copies for each child), cut and fold. Put one copy in a luggage tag to keep inside your child’s bag. Keep the other copy in your wallet.

Save the Children also created a fun song and dance called “The Prep Step” to help kids learn the 3 important prep steps every family should take. Check it out!

Do the Prep Step! Make emergency prep fun for the whole family.

    Natalie, this is an awesome idea! Thank you so much for posting it. So often we ignore the “what if” scenarios, thinking it’ll never be us. I’ll definitely be better prepared, because of this insightful post! Thanks again for sharing!!!

    What a great idea, I like the In Case of Emergency card…because Hailey still doesn’t remember our number….maybe even laminate it hanging on the inside.

    THIS is so important to talk about with kids. I will randomly throw out emergency situation scenarios and see what my kids say.

    Talk with your kids and plan. Right now Hurricane Matthew is going on. The midwest have tornadoes. Winter snowstorms will be hitting some soon. There are so many things to prepare for. Talk to you kids. I like getting a backpack ready. Being prepared is smart.
