Here are some things you may want to keep in mind;
- Make a list of supplies needed, and using online resources or a quick field trip to the store, determine a budget.
- Mark possible evacuation routes on a road map, and calculate how much gas will be needed if you have to leave your home. Where will be a good place to fill up? Where will you go?
- Consider the problem of communications. Have your students create a list of emergency contacts, including relatives or friends living out of state. Perhaps they can compose a letter or email asking for permission to use Grandma as a contact.
- Make a menu plan for a week using your hurricane stash of food, and make a few of the meals for practice. Did your kids underestimate how much they’d eat? Do you need to find new recipes for canned meat?
- Have a brainstorming session on how you can do everyday activities without everyday resources. If there is no electricity following a storm, how will you cook? Maybe you can construct a solar oven.
