Youth

Region 9’s Youth Preparedness Toolkit is for young people and youth leaders interested in emergency preparedness. Organized by age group (elementary, junior high, and high school), the Toolkit includes activities from FEMA, partner organizations, and local governments. It also provides a Youth Leader Resource Hub focused on school safety, planning, and inclusion.

The Youth Preparedness Toolkit from FEMA Region 9 is designed to educate and empower young people in emergency preparedness through age-appropriate activities across elementary, junior high, and high school levels. Using a Learn-Practice-Share model, the toolkit connects preparedness skills with regional hazards like earthquakes and wildfires. Activities range from creating personalized emergency kits for younger students to leadership roles in high school, such as organizing preparedness clubs and social media campaigns. A resource hub for youth leaders includes tools on school safety, inclusion, and planning, helping to build resilient communities and inspire youth to take an active role in emergency readiness.

Join FEMA's Region 9 Youth Preparedness Council Workshop, where young leaders will engage in activities and discussions on emergency preparedness and community resilience, with insights from expert guest speakers.

Please join the Region 1 National Preparedness Division for a webinar on Youth Preparedness as part of National Preparedness Month.
