Raven-Symoné, musician, actress and American Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet member partnered with The Clorox Company and the American Red Cross to provide tips on how to make emergency preparedness a fun and educational activity for the whole family.
Raven and to check out a new video in which she helps you get prepared for life’s emergencies. Download the “Adventures in Being Prepared” activity book from the site and for every activity book downloaded, the Clorox Company will donate one dollar–up to 10,000 dollars–to the American Red Cross.
Following is a preview of one of the activities in the book: One of the first projects in the book is to create an emergency kit. You’ve probably heard of these. Often it is a backpack or a sturdy, water proof container with a secure lid. You want to fill it with all the things you will need in case you are without power, or have to evacuate your home.
Start with at least three days’ worth of food and water. Use food that is easy to prepare without heat and won’t spoil. Have enough water, one gallon per person per day, then add a flashlight, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, extra batteries and a first aid kit. Don’t forget medications and personal hygiene items. In addition, you could include cleaning supplies, such as disinfecting bleach. An adult in your family can use bleach to purify drinking water and to disinfect surfaces.
