When an emergency strikes, do you know what to do? Come learn with Pedro! Prepare with Pedro is a 30- to 45-minute preparedness education program for grades K-3 that teaches students how to BE PREPARED and TAKE ACTION for either home fires or a local hazard.
During the presentation, students learn a coping skill and receive a storybook to share what they have learned at home.
In addition to our presentation, we have a wide variety of additional complementary resources for Prepare with Pedro. These resources include videos, activity books, games, songs, and more!
