Disasters may strike suddenly without any warning. These events can be horrific for adults, but they are traumatic for children. Preparing for a disaster with your family and/or your community may reduce anxiety and trauma. Are you prepared? If you are not, it is time to get prepared! How do you prepare for a disaster? You can create a family disaster plan and kit and teach your family and your community how to recognize danger signals.

To purchase publications and items for the kit, you can visit the American Red Cross of Central Maryland store.
