FEMA for Kids, Disaster Preparedness Games
The FEMA for Kids website is analyzed for its use of games and cartoons to teach children about disasters. The hosts compare these modern efforts to the "duck and cover" drills of the 1950s, suggesting they serve to make the public more docile. The site features characters like Herman the Hermit Crab to explain complex safety concepts to a young audience.
