PLANNING FOR PEOPLE WITH FUNCTIONAL NEEDS

Ask your children to talk about anything that scares them.

Let them ask questions and tell you how theyre eeling.Talk

together as a amily about the emergency.

Give children plenty o love. Tell them they are sae. Hold

and hug them a lot.

Tell children what is happening in simple language so they

can understand.

Make sure they know that the emergency is not their ault

Tell children its okay to go back to school and do other

normal things like playing with riends. Tell them they can

talk to their teachers about the emergency, too.

In Connecticut, we use the Emergency Alert System (EAS)

during emergencies. When the EAS is activated, all TV and

radio programs are stopped and an emergency message

comes on. It is important that you listen to these instructions

and stay tuned or more inormation.

BLIZZARDS:

Weather orecasts usually let you know ahead o time i theres

a blizzard coming. I this happens, make sure you have candles,

fashlights, a battery-operated radio and cell phones because

you might lose electricity and phone service or a ew days or

even weeks. I you can, its a good idea to have a generator, too.

FLASH FLOODING:

Move quickly to higher ground. Water rushing at you in a food

can knock you o your eet! I youre in your car and water

comes up around you, get out and move to higher ground right

away. Cars can be swept away in just two eet o moving water.

HURRICANES:

A hurricane is a big storm with thunder, lightning and very

strong winds. A big hurricane can have winds blowing 75 miles

per hour or higher. Hurricane season in Connecticut is June 1

through November 30. I there is a hurricane warning, take

shelter right away or evacuate i you are told to do so. You can

learn more about what to do beore and ater a hurricane

online at www.ct.gov/hurricane.

TORNADOES:

I there is a tornado warning, get to shelter right away. I you

are in your car, stop. Get out and lie fat, ace down in a low

area. Cover your head and wait or the tornado to pass by. I you

are home, go to the basement, storm shelter or a room near the

middle o the home. I you are in a tall building go to the middle

o the building, like in a stairwell or hallway.
