A new program launched by the City’s Office of Emergency Management in partnership with State Farm encourages children to “Be Prepared, Not Scared” by helping their families prepare for emergencies. The Passport teaches about preparedness through activities, puzzles and games for the whole family. Challenges include deciding on an emergency meeting place and building an emergency kit. Passports are available at the Richardson Public Library circulation desk. Once completed, return the passport to the Emergency Operations Center at 1621 E. Lookout Dr., Richardson, TX 75082, and receive a special challenge coin.
The program is modeled after the successful Clean Park Patrol Passport program launched by the Parks and Recreation Department earlier this year that helped children become advocates for clean parks.
Disaster Preparedness Passports will be available while supplies last.
