Preparing for a disaster, understanding, and coping with other man-made events such as active attackers before they occur is essential for all families. For families that include children with special needs, the challenges can be even greater. The Adventures of Hopper animated disaster literacy series provides age- appropriate introduction to natural disasters and man- caused events events that communities face today. The Adventures of Hopper youth disaster literacy series informs and guide kids for disaster safety for better outcomes when disasters strike. Each year millions of children are disproportionately impacted by disasters disrupting their lives, families, schools, and communities; from simple house fires-to the levels of devastation witnessed in recent natural disasters, yet insufficient attention has been given to preparing this population. Youth are particularly susceptible to three types of vulnerabilities during disasters: psychological, physical, and educational.
