After getting some answers, explain that an emergency is anything that happens that can hurt people. Discuss which types of emergencies may be more likely to occur in your area. Be sure to point out that severe emergencies are rare. Ask children if they know what it means to be prepared. Stress that being prepared means you know what to do if there ever is an emergency.

Ask them what the people in each picture do. Be sure they understand that firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel work to help keep people safe. Have children draw a picture of someone who helps keep them safe. It could be a parent, adult relative, teacher or someone they know who works in public safety. Invite someone who works in public safety to talk to the children. Ask him or her to discuss: • the kind of work he or she does • how that work helps children stay safe • ways that he or she helps in an emergency.
