| Impact Report | Eight hundred youth from Valencia County participated in an emergency preparedness program provided by the Valencia County Home Economist. The program was conducted at three local elementary schools, through one local girl scout group and the Valencia County Fall Farm Festival. The program helped youth gain a better understanding of emergencies that are the most prevalent in their area and increased their knowledge and attitudes about what to do in case of an emergency. One-hundred percent of the participants were given a starter emergency supply kit to take home with them. The supply kit included information to help parents talk to their children about emergencies and help them to develop a plan for their home and a plan for when they are away from home. Through this program the Valencia County Home Economist can educate and empower youth and adults to take some steps to prepare for and respond to potential emergencies, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks. |
