Fire Safety & Prevention

FEMA for KIDS
Floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and winter storms are natural disasters that happen in the United States. The Federal Emergency Management Agency -- FEMA -- helps people who have been in a disaster. We also teach people what to do during a disaster and what to do BEFORE a disaster. You can help your family prepare for a disaster. With this site, you can also learn about what causes disasters, play games and read stories from children who have been through a disaster. You can also become a Disaster Action Kid! Disasters are a serious subject, but you can have fun learning about them!

The United States Fire Administration launched a "Kid's Page" - Where Fire Safety Starts - on the World Wide Web today.

Children can learn about the importance of an escape plan as well as smoke detectors. The USFA Kid's Page also contains a Teachers & Parent guide giving instant access to the topics covered.
