Planet Protector Academy Programs

The Emergency Preparedness Program trains kids as emergency preparedness superheroes to make sure families are ready when disaster strikes!

 

4 one-hour weekly modules in the classroom combined with at-home superhero missions cover a range of emergency preparedness topics, including:

• Module 1 – Know the risks (also available as a live show in Metro Vancouver)
  An A-Z overview of different disasters. Introduces ways we can be better prepared and teaches the Superhero Calming Breath!
• Module 2 – Make a plan
  Planning 101: Why plan? How making plans before an emergency event can help you stay calm. Helps kids lead their families in planning for emergencies.
• Module 3 – Get a kit
  Helps kids make a ‘grab-and-go’ bag to make sure they stay safe during the first 72hrs of an emergency.
• Module 4 – We’re In This Together
  Emergencies can bring out the best in communities. We help kids celebrate how they’ve helped their families be better prepared!

Real-world Impact

Kids are leading measurable change in their families, with 42% of families making a plan and 36% starting to make a kit. Furthermore, 100% of teachers said it increased their knowledge and confidence to teach emergency preparedness concepts!
