CDE SKITS The idea is to have youth volunteers "teach back" the information. First, pass out the pre-CDE survey (this card will be the volunteer's sign-in, so make sure they get one!). Divide volunteers into 4 groups (or 2 if you have fewer volunteers). Assign them a topic and give them ____ minutes to come up with a short skit to teach us the information. The order of the skits should be:

Group #1: Group #2: Group #3: Group #4:

Get a kit, Make a Plan, Be Informed Emergency Kit Fire Earthquake

Group #1: Get a kit, Make a Plan, Be Informed To Be Red Cross Ready, the Red Cross has three actions every individual and family can take to be better prepared for emergencies. Get a Kit, Make a Plan, Be Informed!

1. Buy or put together an emergency kit: Buy - through the Red Cross or online Make your own! The Red Cross has supply lists to help you put together a kit with items you may already have. People should have kits at home, work, and wherever a person spends a lot of their time. 2. Make a plan: Talk with your family about emergencies and disaster. Figure out an escape plan from your home and create a communications plan. How will you reach each other during a disaster? Learn emergency plans and how to shut off the utilities (gas, electricity, water) Tell everyone in your household the emergency plan. Everyone should know what to do, where to go, and who to contact in case an emergency happens. Practice the plan! Practice fire and earthquake drills with your family. Have an out-of-state emergency contact person. If your emergency contact lives in the same area as you, they might be going through the disaster, too! 3. Be informed: Learn about disasters. Earthquakes, fires, and floods. Get Red Cross trained. Get CPR and First Aid certified! Take classes and get involved. Volunteer with the Red Cross!

Group #2: Emergency Kit 1. Good items to have in your kit: Flashlight, radio, extra batteries, money (small bills and loose change), a First Aid kit, a can opener for cans, tools, extra clothes and blankets, pet supplies, any medications you might need, important papers and documents, emergency contact information, and a local map. Have food that you can eat without cooking. The power might go out.

2. Bad items: Candles are a fire hazard! Aftershocks from a quake might make them topple over and start a fire. Use a flashlight instead. Large bills ($100) - people could overcharge you for things and probably won't have change. Any items that require electricity - the power might go out! 3. How much water do you think you use in a day? How much do you think you would need in an emergency? Have 1 gallon of water per person per day in your kit. People use water for a lot of things, and you might drink more than you realize!

Group #3: Fire 1. What is the most common disaster? House fire is the most common disaster in the United States! That means it is also the most common disaster the Red Cross responds to. Over 1.3 million fires occur every year. 2. When there is a fire, you need to get away from the smoke! Most injuries and deaths in a fire are actually from smoke inhalation. Even when you can't see flames, you might be in danger. Smoke rises, so get low to the ground and get out of the building. Feel doors and doorknobs

with the back of your hand to test if its hot before opening them. 3. Make a plan: Identify 2 ways out of every room, 2 ways out of the building, and 2 meeting places. Meeting places help your friends and family know that you are safe and made it out of the building. Test your smoke alarms twice a year. Replace the batteries once a year. PASS - Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep is how you use a fire extinguisher. Pull the pin, aim the nozzle, squeeze the handle, and sweep the spray from side-to-side at the base of the fire to put it out. Check your home for fire hazards. Practice your fire drills!

Group #4: Earthquake 1. Earthquakes happen all the time in the Bay Area, even when we cant feel them! There's a 63% chance of a 6.8 or higher earthquake in the South Bay area over the next 25 years. Hazards can include fires, flash floods, flying debris, power outages, landslides, and tsunamis. The most common injuries are from flying and falling objects. 2. During an earthquake: Get in a doorway? Nope. The door could shut on you and injure you. Drop, Cover, and Hold on!

Keep a pair of shoes nearby and by your bed, so you can safely walk through debris. If youre outside, get to an open space, drop and cover. Stay away from buildings, trees, and power lines! If driving, pull over into an open space and stay in the car. 3. After an earthquake: Be prepared for aftershocks. Shut off the gas if you smell fumes. Leave if you cant shut the gas off yourself. Don't call 911 unless you or someone else is in immediate danger. Leave the phone lines open! Listen to the local radio for emergency broadcasts. Open your closets and cupboards cautiously - the earthquake could have shaken up the items inside!

Group #5: First Aid

1. The 3 Cs: Check - Check the scene for safety! Then check the person in need of first aid. Call - Call 9-1-1, or your local emergency number Call when the person is unconscious, isnt breathing or is having trouble breathing, there is bleeding that wont stop, for severe burns, head injuries, heart attacks, or stroke Care - Give care to the injured person 2. Before giving care: Get trained! Take a deep breath. Protect yourself with glove and other items. Introduce yourself to the person. Ask if you can help - you must get consent! Stay calm. If you are calm, the person you are helping will stay calm and feel

more reassured. Getting consent - Good Samaritan Laws will protect you in case anything goes wrong while giving care as long as you are acting in good faith (trying to help), arent asking for money in return, and get consent to help. If the person is unconscious, consent is implied! Your job is to help while doing no further harm. Remember: Whatever you are able to do to help is better than not doing anything!!! 3. First Aid for: Bleeding - apply direct pressure, cover with a clean dressing, and check for shock. Make sure the bandages arent too tight so that you wont cut off circulation. Burns - cool with large amounts of water. If a sever burn, cover with a bandage and see a doctor as soon as you can. Breaks, sprains, strains - Use RICE! Rest Immobilize Cold - ice only for 20 minutes at a time and never on bare skin! Elevate - to reduce swelling
