Page 2—What do we mean by “ready for emergencies”? Note: The words in green in the workbook are intended to be used as vocabulary words (students may need your help pronouncing them). Note: The topic of emergency preparedness can be scary for some students. As you discuss the content in this workbook and complete the activities, offer reassurance while still emphasizing the importance of being prepared. Consider inviting a representative of the Red Cross, the fire department or law enforcement to discuss emergency preparedness with your class. Ask him or her to talk to the class about the kinds of emergencies most likely to occur in your area, and what specific steps should be taken if those emergencies occur. You might consider inviting parents to attend as well.
