Families can--and do--cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Follow the steps listed in this brochure to create your family's disaster plan.

A Guide to Kid's Hygiene

Good hygiene is a crucial part of living a healthy lifestyle through every stage of one’s life. Parents are responsible for first taking care of a child’s hygiene needs, and when the child’s age allows, they are responsible for teaching them how to do it themselves. A part of teaching children about good hygiene is to explain why it is important. Children should understand that good hygiene not only affects their appearance, but it also reduces the risk of infection, the spread of illness, and even the spread of parasites. Cleanliness is also beneficial on a social level, as it eliminates body odors. By teaching children the importance of good personal hygiene and what it involves, parents are establishing a habit that will benefit their kids for the rest of their lives.
