Emergency Preparedness Resources for Kids

It is crucial for families and communities to think about the needs of people with disabilities in emergency planning and response. And families can and should do their own planning, thinking about the unique needs that each family member has, including children with disabilities.

We have created three new storybooks for families to help children with disabilities prepare for emergencies. These storybooks cover the basics of what to do to get ready for a fire, a flood, or an earthquake. Download them all and read them with your child!

Thank you to the Oregon Health Authority for your grant support in creating these resources.
