Disney is a proud supporter of the American Red Cross and is helping to
prepare youth so that they are ready before disasters occur.
Hey, kids! Guess what? Disn
ey and the American Red Cros
s
have teamed up to help you pr
epare for disasters. The fact
is,
disasters can happen anywhe
re, at any time. That can be a
scary
thought. But here’s another
fact: the better prepared yo
u are, the
safer you will be!
That’s why we want to help te
ach you and your family the be
st
ways to get ready. Each topic
in this book has a fun game cr
eated
just for you. First, learn the
steps about what to do befo
re, during,
and after each disaster. Then
you will know the answers to
the
games.
Talk with your parents about
which disasters could happen
near
you and what your plan shou
ld be. Then make a Disaster Su
pplies
Kit so you and your family will
be prepared. Being prepared
means
being ready!
After you finish the games in
this
book, check out the wrap-up
section
in the back of the book. Most
of all,
share what you learn with yo
ur family
and friends.
Have fun solving, and rememb
er,
when you’re prepared, you ca
n face
anything!

What Are Hazards?
Goofy is learning about disasters.
Disasters are bad things that can happen
to many people at once. Sometimes they
are caused by nature, but other times they
are caused by people. When you know what
to expect and take action in advance to get
ready, you can get through difficult times
more easily. Match the
name of the disaster to

Note to Parents: Help your children identify which disasters can happen where
you live. Circle the disasters above and pay special attention to the activities
about them in this book. Then talk with your family about what your emergency
plan is for those disasters. Explain that there will be people in charge in
your community who will tell your family if it is okay to stay where you are
or if your family should evacuate to a safer place.

1. How many people are in your family?
2. Each person needs 1 gallon of water per day. So ___ people x 3 days = ___ gallons of water.

Note to Parents: In a home fire, you may have very little time to get everyone to safety
once the smoke alarm sounds. Do not stop to gather things. Immediately go to
your outside meeting place and call the fire department. Never go back inside a
burning building—just get out and stay out.

Note to Parents: Did you know that if you are stuck in the car in a
snowstorm, the best thing to do is to stay in your car and wait for
help? During heavy snowstorms, people who leave their cars can get
lost. You should keep a kit in your car with a shovel, water, snacks, sand
or kitty litter, a portable radio, and a cell phone charger in case you get stuck.

Tornado Safety
Tornadoes are fast-spinning columns of
air. They can develop very
quickly and cause a lot of damage. Tornad
oes develop from powerful
storms and look like spinning funnels tha
t go from the sky to the ground.
Their winds have been known to move at
up to 300 miles per hour!

Note to Parents: Did you know that windows need to stay closed
during a tornado? Always stay away from windows and get to your
safe room as soon as you can. If you are in a mobile home or trailer,
evacuate to a sturdy building. Most mobile homes and trailers provide
no safety from tornadoes, even if they are tied down.
Here’s a game to play with your family. Take turns joining two horizontally
or vertically adjacent dots by a line. A player who completes the fourth side
of a square (a box) gets a point. If you form a box around a safe place to be
during a tornado, give yourself an extra point. But watch out. If you form a box
around a hazard during a tornado, you lose a point. The player with the most
points when no more boxes can be drawn wins.

Hurricane Safety
Hurricanes are big, circular sto
rms that can move slowly or quick
ly.
They form in big bodies of water
, like oceans. Hurricanes also br
ing
strong winds that can move as
fast as or faster than a race ca
r. On
land, the strong winds, heavy ra
in, and big waves can do a lot of
damage to trees, cars, buildings,
and even your house!

Note to Parents: Plan in advance for your evacuation from a hurricane.
Plan more than one route to get to a safe place in case floods block
one path. If you hear a hurricane is coming, make sure you have plenty
of gas in your car and cash in case you can’t use an ATM.

Talk to your parents about earthquakes happening in your town or city.
If you live somewhere an earthquake could happen, remind your parents to
bolt or strap large things like mirrors, pictures, and bookshelves against
the wall. Remember to keep heavier items on lower shelves so they can’t
fall and hurt anyone during an earthquake.

Note to Parents: If you live in an earthquake-prone area, make sure to bolt and strap down
tall furniture, like bookshelves, and items hung on the wall, like pictures and mirrors. If
you haven’t already secured these items, use this opportunity to show your children
what you are doing to protect your home from an earthquake and to explain why.
