Disaster Preparedness Series
Disaster Preparedness Series Storm Chaser, Eddy Weiss is coming to a city near you, and you are not going to want to miss it! "Be Prepared" has been the motto for Girl Scouts since 1917, and with so many recent natural disasters, teaching girls the skilled needed to be prepared is as important as ever. GSEIWI has teamed up with the weather education organization Chasing 4 Life to hold a series of events to teach your girls all they need to know during severe weather and other disasters.
Throughout winter and into spring, Eddy Weiss will be traveling to Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, The Quad Cities and Burlington spreading his message about weather and being prepared for anything through a series of 4 fun sessions! Girls and parents alike love his interactive speaking style and the way he relates to young people. This fall he took his message to the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana and spoke to sold out crowds!
The series will include 4 fantastic interactive events:
- Weather Watching: Tornadoes, Thunderstorms and Severe Weather...oh my! Look at a weather map, learn how to make a tornado in a bottle and learn about how to protect your family in bad weather.
- Emergency Preparedness: Learn about how you and your family can be prepared in case of an emergency and find out how to make a disaster preparedness kit for your home!
- Climate Change: Find out about the past, present and future of climate change and how it affects you!
- Animal Safety : Disasters do not only affect us as humans, it can also affect our animals. Find out to make a plan for your pet during a disaster.
Best Program in Years!
We received a call from the mother of a daughter who attended one of our first Disaster Preparedness Series sessions. The mother wanted to let everyone know that they thought it was the best program they have attended in years! Her daughter can't wait for the next one.
