The STEP curriculum includes information and resources that cover the basic principles of youth emergency planning education and focus on having the students develop a family emergency communications plan and a disaster supply kit.
Equipping families with these two important elements can ease disruption for everyone and can even help save lives. For children, gaining knowledge of what to do in emergencies beforehand can also give them a feeling of confidence, control, and calm in a time that could otherwise be traumatic.
Teaching Objectives:
- Provide general knowledge of emergencies or disasters common to their area and strategies for appropriately reacting to those events.
- Teach students how to create a family emergency communications plan.
- Teach students how to assemble an emergency preparedness kit with their families.
Learning Outcomes:
- Students are more knowledgeable, capable, and prepared in the event of an emergency or disaster.
- Students are positive influencers in helping their families be better prepared.
