Disaster Information for Kids Online

The Disaster Area
When the weather gets nasty or the news has stories about people involved in weather disasters, kids may have lots of questions.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a website that may not only help answer their questions, but some of your own as well.

FEMA's The Disaster Area is a kid-friendly website that has useful information about thunderstorms, tornadoes, wildfires and even national security emergencies.

And for more grown-up kinds of questions and answers, and step-by-step family safety plans, there is always FEMA's main site at fema.gov.
