This age-specific preparedness guide helps children and teens understand what to do before, during, and after a wildfire. The resource organizes safety advice for ages 4-8, 9-12, and 13-18, gradually increasing students' responsibilities as they get older. Topics include creating and practicing an evacuation plan, assembling a wildfire go-bag, calling 911, recognizing evacuation routes and alerts, reducing smoke exposure, and supporting children's emotional well-being before and after a wildfire. A visual go-bag checklist provides a ready-to-use reference, and the page includes FAQs and sources from organizations such as the EPA, NASA, Children's Hospital Colorado, and the U.S. Congress.
tag(s): preK (355), fire (29), fire safety (22)
In the Classroom
Ask students to examine the wildfire go-bag checklist and create their own emergency-preparedness poster with Adobe Creative Cloud Express, reviewed here, which can be used to design flyers, presentations, social media-style posts, and other visuals. Ask students to sketch an evacuation plan for a hypothetical home, school, or classroom that includes two possible exits and a safe meeting location, then exchange plans with a partner who checks whether the route is clear and practical. The site specifically recommends practicing evacuation plans and routes regularly. Have older students analyze the section on wildfire smoke, identify claims about health effects and prevention, and create review questions using Wayground (formerly Quizizz), reviewed here. Use the student-created questions as a formative assessment after the safety unit.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
