We respond to storm damage emergencies in San Diego 24-hours a day.

SERVPRO® of Centre City/Uptown responds to storm damage emergencies each year, and we know the importance of preparing children for emergencies. Being prepared begins with taking steps to stay safe before, during, and after a disaster or emergency. Here are some tips from the American Red Cross for speaking with children about disasters:

Talking About Disasters

Find out which disasters are most common where you live, then visit our emergency resource library for specific tips on what to do and discuss. For example, if you live in an earthquake-prone area, your child should be taught to DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON.

Next, check at your children’s schools, daycare, or other locations where they regularly spend time. Find out what their emergency plans are so that you can reinforce them at home.

Share What You’ve Learned

Talk about emergency preparation with your family so that everyone knows what to do. Discussing ahead of time helps reduce fear, particularly for younger children.

Involve your entire family in preparation activities, such as assembling a survival kit. Children can feel reassured knowing there’s a plan in place.
