FEMA Introduces “Kids Korner” at Disaster Recovery Centers

FRANKFORT, Ky. - FEMA invites you and your children to visit "Kids Korner" at the Disaster Recovery Centers in Kentucky. This family-focused initiative offers fun and interactive activities to help your family prepare for emergencies.

At the Disaster Recovery Center, families can engage in hands-on learning about disaster preparedness. Children can participate in educational activities, including getting a disaster preparedness coloring book filled with important safety information presented in a fun, child-friendly way.

Parents are encouraged to join their children in these activities. In addition to engaging with FEMA representatives, parents will learn how to enhance their family's safety plan. These activities not only educate children on emergency response but also empower parents to play an active role in ensuring their family's safety.

This "Kids Korner" initiative is part of a broader effort to build stronger, more resilient communities by empowering families with the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe during emergencies.
