Make a game of packing a go-bag with the kids. It'd be hard calmly pack the items you'd need to evacuate in a real emergency, which is why packing a bag in advance is key.

Don’t hang up if you accidentally call 9-1-1! Stay on the line and tell us it was an accidental call. We promise we won’t be mad.
Otherwise we’ll need to call you back to check in, taking time from dispatchers who could otherwise help people in need.

Calling 9-1-1 can be scary for anyone, but especially for younger kids. Practice calling from a cell phone and landline - and talk about scenarios when they may need to call - so they know when and how to get help if they need it. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3tTb7yr
