RESOURCES: Kids To Kids - FEMA Disaster

With the SouthAsian scenes of death and destruction on TV, it is sometimes not so easy to explain this to children.

 

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the US government has a child-friendly website that gives explanations of the most important natural disasters such as the recent tsunami that hit SouthAsia.
