"I can make the difference if I am prepared" is the theme for the preparedness fair at David Gourley week-lon- g EmergencyPreparedness To Be Taught At Gourley KEARNS. Emergency preparedness week will be observed Oct. 20 to 24 at David Gourley elementary. The theme of the activity is, I can make the difference if I am prepared. The program will begin with an assembly Monday morning focusing on earthquakes and earthquake safety. After the presentation, children will return to the classrooms for a discussion on what should be done if they were in a car, visiting a friend or somewhere else away from home in an emergency. During the remainder of the week, instead of silent reading time, the students will participate in various emergency studies. On Tuesday and Wednesday, activities will focus on earthquakes. Children in grades three through six will learn about ancient cultures and their myths about quakes, and will write their own myths as to why earthquakes happen. Kindergarten, first and second fold-ograde students will work with handouts of a home, on which they will locate and color all hazards, such as a bed next to a window, a heavy shelf of books above a bed or other dangerous areas on Tuesday. On Wednesday they will draw an aerial view of their own bedroom, check it for safety, mark dangers, then take it home to show parents. The children will be encouraged to discuss danger points with parents and first their own room, then the entire home for greater safety. On Thursday, discussion will center on winter storms, what can happen and what should be done if power is off, pipes freeze, homes are without gas or heat, or people are stranded in a car. Floods and lightning will be discussed on Friday, with students learning of ways to prepare for these emergencies and what action to take for safety.
