The Florida Division of Emergency Management has a website for KIDS. It is full of information to help kids learn about, and prepare for, Florida's summer weather. It's called "Kids Get A Plan!"
Choose material by grade reading level [K-5] or [6th Grade+].
Parents and teachers will find storybooks with guides to help teach young children safety, while at the same time helping them become better readers. Check the K-5 Grownups category.
Kids up to grade 5 learn by playing, reading, and downloading activities and books:
- Stories - click to read, hear, and play stories. You can even click some words that may be new to you, like "weather radio" or "energy", or listen about clouds, thunder, and lightening.
- News - Kid Science In The News
- Downloads - download & listen to audio books; print coloring pages, books, & characters; even get screen savers and wallpapers for your computer right at home.
- Activities - play the 30/30 Rule, take the Whiz-Bang Weather Watching Wonder Quiz, build your own disaster Kit from cabinets in your home, and use a Firewise Simulator to protect your family & home from wildfires.
- Contest - Videos & Posters
FOR GRADES 6 AND ABOVE, click here and then [6th Grade +], or visit website "Hazardous Weather: A Florida Guide". Here teens learn about topics Floods, Tornadoes, Lightning, Thunderstorms, Hurricanes, Temperatures, Rip-Currents, Wildfires, and Boat Safety.
