Ark of Safety Youth

Disasters disproportionately impact children, yet many programs often overlook the importance of preparing children. Children are considered a vulnerable group and are more prone than others to damage, loss, suffering, injury, and death in the event of a disaster. Through the Ark of Safety Youth program, we have educated over 1,000 K-12^th graders on disaster preparedness topics, including family preparedness, active assailant, wildfires, earthquakes, terrorism, cybersafety, and first aid.

Our program is a part of the National Strategy for Youth Preparedness Education, a partnership between the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the American Red Cross, and the Department of Education to promote youth preparedness and build a more resilient nation.
