This worksheet, called 'Natural Disaster Worksheet: Ready... Set... Prepare!', was originally offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Community and Family Preparedness Program and American Red Cross Community Disaster Education. This 39-page activity book is the result of their joint efforts and is aimed to improve disaster preparedness.
