Disaster Preparedness (3.19.18)

Disaster preparedness was not a “thing” in the USA until the Red Scares of the late-1940s and the 1950s. It then fell out of favor until fears of terrorism revived it after 9/11.

Your task will be to compare and contrast disaster preparedness of our current time to that of the 1950s.

On Tuesday, you will use your text book to create a VENN diagram of your findings from now with those of the 1950s.

Monday’s Task: Summarize the following suggestions from the Department of Homeland Security. Do not try to get everything down, simply the general suggestions. Note anything unusual or that you do not understand.

• Disaster Kit Contents
• Make a Family Plan
• Warning systems and signals

Today is the only class time to work on this!
