Kids' Emergency Readiness Guide — For Parents and Children Together
Children who know what to do in an emergency are calmer, more effective, and recover better psychologically than children who encounter a crisis without preparation. Fear comes from not knowing what to do. Confidence comes from having practiced. The 15 minutes you invest in this guide is among the most valuable safety time your family will spend this year.
The ERG Kids' Emergency Readiness Guide is written in age-appropriate language for children 5-12, designed to be completed with a parent or guardian — not handed to a child to read alone.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Home address and phone number practice exercises
When and how to call 911 — step-by-step with practice script
House fire escape route activity — draw it, walk it, practice it
What to do if separated from a parent in a public emergency
Stranger danger during emergencies — who is a safe adult
Hurricane vocabulary and what different storm categories mean
What to pack in a kid's go-bag — let them help build it
Family meeting point cards — fill in, cut out, keep in backpack
Parent guide: how to have preparedness conversations without creating anxiety
Delivered as a fully editable Word document with fill-in activities.
WHO THIS IS FOR: Parents and guardians of children ages 5-12.
