Talk to your principal and ask if he/she will include the Red Cross "Master of Disaster" series in the curriculum

The award-winning "Masters of Disaster" disaster preparedness curriculum teaches people how to prevent, prepare for and respond to disasters and other emergencies. It is now available in customized formats for both families and educators.

The Masters of Disaster series is an educational tool that will teach youth the importance of preparedness while reducing fear of the unexpected. The goal is to empower youth with the confidence and knowledge to prepare for disasters and help create a culture of preparedness. The lessons are non-threatening, age appropriate and adhere to national education standards.

When you approach your principal, be ready with examples of what's included in the "Masters of Disaster" curriculum. Print out examples of lesson plans and activities. You may also want to give her some examples of past disasters in your area to demonstrate the need for disaster preparedness. Good luck! And when you're done, tell Do Something all about it!
