Hurricanes are scary. Amid all the confusion of preparing
for and maybe even evacuating your home, it can be difficult
to explain to small children what is happening and why. The
resources below were designed and provided by the Red Cross,
the NOAA Weather Agency and FEMA to provide this information
in a way that children can easily understand, all while they
have fun coloring and reading. The links below are all free
.PDF documents that can be opened, downloaded and printed
for your children. If you don't have the Acrobat Reader, a
link to download it for free is provided below. Enjoy!
