Hello Everyone!
This summer we have a project for youth ages 11-18 to learn about how
Tucson is prepared in an emergency.
I have attached the flier as well
as included the information below. Please spread the word to parents or
youth who might be interested in learning about these things! We also
have many other projects to choose from, so please spread the word!
Earthquake! Fire! Tsunami! Oh, my! Curious about how Tucson responds to
an emergency? Take a week with the Tucson Police Department, Rural/Metro
Fire, and the Red Cross to learn all about Tucson's disaster relief.
You'll spend some time touring a fire truck and ambulance, getting a
first-hand look at how the Red Cross prepares for an emergency, and
you'll round out the week teaching the youngsters at House of Neighborly
Service what you learned. Safety first!
