Discussion Notes

  • See Box link for more handouts and resources: https://utexas.edu.box.com/v/parentspreparedness
    • Ready.gov/kids
    • Prepare with Pedro coloring/activity book from FEMA 
  • Risk = likelihood x impact 
  • Biggest risk to campus: weather! If you hear thunder, go inside!
  • On campus tips:
    • If emergency, call 911 every time. If you are not sure, you should call!
    • Safety Hubs in most buildings with general purpose classrooms (AED and bleed control kit)
    • Dell Medical School does bleed control training for staff. 
    • Don't be afraid of the AED. It is very smart and will determine whether a shock is needed or not and will only administer shock IF needed.
  • Tips for  kids:
    • Create a song for your address/names/phone numbers to help kids remember it
    • Communicate always that the adults have a plan and reassure them that the adults know what to do and are doing the right thing 
    • How to ensure that children feel safe when first responders show up:
      • expose them to helpers and to them in their gear
        • National Night Out:
        • UT football game (over 200 officers working) and will wear the SWAT gear
      • Visit the fire station
      • Connect it to people you know (if you know a fire fighter/police officer)
      • Balance trusting people but also ensuring they are actual helpers
