How will my children know what to do in the event of a terrorist attack?

Inform your children that, if a crisis occurs while they are in school, their teacher will provide them with appropriate instructions.Parents are also encouraged to prepare a family disaster plan and practice it so that everyone will remember what to do if a disaster does occur. Everyone in the household, including children, should play a part in the family’s response and recovery efforts. Teach your children how to recognize danger signals. Make sure your children know what smoke detectors, fire alarms and local community warning systems (horns, sirens) sound like.
