Supply Closet at Clara Barton National Historic Site. Clara Barton supplied the necessities of survival - food, clothing and shelter, but also provided tools for cleaning-up and rebuilding. Her principle was be prepared before the disaster occurred. Clara Barton stated:
"Before us now lie the problems of the future, and the question is: How shall we meet them? As friends of humanity, while there is still a possibility of war or calamity, it behooves us to prepare….
… the world-wide motto of the Red Cross:
In time of peace and prosperity, prepare for war and calamity."
|
Clara Barton taught us that we should be prepared before something bad happens.
You can help your family do this. Be a leader, develop emergency kits and emergency plans for your family. The Department of Homeland Security has a fun website to help you learn more. Play games and learn how your family can be prepared before a disaster strikes.
