Children's Resources

FEMA for Kids
This site contains a variety of resources for children including information about disasters and FEMA, as well as fun games, quizzes and stories.

American Red Cross "Facing Fear" Curricula for Kids
Facing Fear was developed to address a demand by educators and caregivers of children for materials to help children cope in uncertain times. The curriculum is a supplement to Masters of Disaster™, children's natural hazard safety curriculum. The format and components are similar, including ready-to-go lesson plans, activities and demonstrations that can be incorporated within core subject areas. Lessons are aligned with national health, social studies, and language arts standards.

The Interactive Zone website offers games and quizzes, virtual tours, coloring books, and many other fun activities for children.
