Greetings Yosie and all involved with the NDYS project.
We have a late start for our project but we are now working on our emergency kit items to purchase, safety maps, and the assembly of our emergency kits for each of our 32 classrooms at our school of 643 students.
This is our peak Tornado season so we want to be prepared. We also sit on a fault line but it is not active. We have determined two safe areas for our school in the event of an earthquake and have identified several areas within the building that would be safe in the event of a torando. Some tornados hit Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia yesterday. I spent today purchasing supplies for the kits. We will be making a trail mix using cereal, marshmallows, and raisins for each kit. In addition we will have $300. worth of bottled water delivered to the school for inclusion in the kits. We will also be putting in flashlights with batteries and some hand sanitizer. Our project was funded by a small grant from the Junior League of Chattanooga.
I have been taking some pictures and will be adding more later this week. Here is the website for you all to take a peak and keep checking back. We will be assembling our kits on April 18th. I purchased clear plastic backpacks to use for the kits. In addition, we will be making posters for the safe areas within the school.
