When seconds count... there is no higher priority than your children's safety!

As responsible parents and teachers it is imperative that we encourage and foster open discussions with our children about preparing for a disaster. It is no different than teaching your child to dial 911 or to look both directions before crossing the street.  The potential benefits of such education could be lifesaving!  Please, don't monkey around when it comes to your children's safety! 

Following a disaster, your children may be alone, scared, confused and exceptionally vulnerable. 

At Banana Pack Disaster Sack it is our goal to better assist you and your children in being prepared before a crisis, being responsive during a crisis, and finally being diligent in moving beyond the crisis.  We've made it our business to put the essentials at your fingertips. Most of the work has been done for you. However, children must still be taught what to do - and that's up to you!  Get ready now... you'll be glad you did.

The following are some simple but necessary steps that you should take to better prepare your children:

• Once you receive your child's Banana Pack "Kids Sack" review and discuss the contents. Answer questions openly and honestly.  Remind them this is not a toy.

• Complete Emergency ID & Contact Cards (laminate and keep one in the "Kids Sack" & one at school or neighbors)).  Encourage your child to also memorize information.
• Add any "special need" items to their sack (Inhalers, required medication, etc.)
• Include spare keys, a roll of quarters, cash, and photo's of each family member/pet. 
• Keep a small bag packed and next to their "Kids Sack" in the home, car and at school with the following items: A pair of comfortable and sturdy shoes; change of clothes (long sleeve shirt, long pants, long socks, hat, gloves) and extra face masks.
• Review and complete your "Family Plan of Action Kit" and your Quick Reference Guide found in you Banana Pack Disaster Sack "CLASSIC" or "TRACKER."  
• Teach your children about potential disasters specific to your area and practice what to do for each type of disaster - both natural and man-made (Use your Quick Reference Guide found in your Banana Pack Disaster Sack "CLASSIC" or "TRACKER" and other recommended materials/resources))   
• Teach your children exactly what to do in the event they are forced to evacuate or shelter-in-place.  Review these procedures on a regular basis.
