In the final lesson of the Lake County Cascading Hazards unit, students come up with their own ideas on how to increase community resilience to natural hazards.
Context for Use
Actions that will help families prepare for the next disaster can take a few minutes, and make a big difference when the time comes. Students will create a social media post or a short video to share what they are doing to prepare and encourage their friends to be prepared too.
Lake County Fire Safe Council created this image for community members to prepare for the next wildfire.
