Activity Survival Kit for Children
Children will need to stay occupied so prepare for that too.
If you must leave your house for any period of time during a disaster, it’s wise to put together your own children’s Activity Survival Kit so you will have things to do and share with other kids. The kit can all be stored in a backpack or duffel bag for easy carrying. Some ideas for your Activity Survival Kit:
- Take several books.
- Favorite stuffed animal or puppet
- Favorite blanket or pillow
- Crayons, pencils, pens, paper, scissors and glue
- A couple of favorite toys such as a doll or action figure
- A deck of cards
- Family pictures including pets
- A treasure box with a few of their favorite items will make them feel special.
- Small people figures and play vehicles that you can use to help play out what is happening during the disaster -- such as ambulance, fire truck, helicopter, dump truck, police car, and small boats.
