There are
many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what
to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it
would probably never happen to them, so they don't teach their children what to
do. Before it's too late, here are ways to help you prepare your children for a
disaster.
Educate:
It is always good to let your children know about possible disasters. This
doesn't mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters,
keep the conversation positive (积极的) by telling them there is a solution (解决办法)
to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer
them honestly.
Prepare:
Always be prepared. And that is the best piece of advice for children. For example,
when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios,
food, water and medicine. Teach your children what is needed in certain
disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.
Plan: You
should always have a plan for you and your children for any dangerous
situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start
with "listen to an adult's advice and/or call 119".
Practise:
Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan,
practise every few months. Practising what to do during a disaster with your
children will help them if the time comes.
Disasters
can't be avoided but they can be lessened once you are prepared and
ready for one.
