“CHICAGO, Feb 2 (Reuters) – The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday introduced an animated family of mountain lions to lead a public service campaign aimed at getting families to prepare for natural disasters or terror attacks.
In a cheerier version of the “duck and cover” 1950s-era classroom drills that advised schoolchildren to dive under their desks in the event of nuclear attack, Homeland Security Department Secretary Michael Chertoff outlined the “Ready Kids” campaign at a Chicago elementary school library.
Mindful of the Sept. 11 terror attacks and natural disasters like storms or earthquakes, Ready Kids is an offshoot of emergency response campaigns targeted at businesses and the general public.”
This is a great idea!
