Kid friendly Information for Parents and Children

Welcome to FEMA for Kids! I'm Herman, the spokes crab for the site. This site teaches you how to be prepared for disasters and prevent disaster damage. You can also learn what causes disasters, play games, read stories and become a Disaster Action Kid.

And don't forget to learn about FEMA. FEMA is in charge of helping people before and after a disaster. FEMA is called in to help when the President declares a disaster. Disasters are "declared" after hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes or other similar events strike a community. Learn more about FEMA.

A story about my search for a disaster-proof shell is great reading, too!

Hey, parents and teachers -- we have resources for you! Parents & Teachers page has activities, curriculum and safety information you can use in the classroom or at home! Read more here: http://www.fema.gov/kids/
