    • 85_Emergency Preparedness for Kids: What Children Can Really Do in a Crisis

      85_Emergency Preparedness for Kids: What Children Can Really Do in a Crisis
      Jan 19 2026
      What should kids actually know how to do during an emergency?

      In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, Jason Perez and Pappy break down emergency preparedness for kids by age, using real-world case studies, child development science, and practical experience to show what children are truly capable of when they’ve been prepared calmly and intentionally.

      This isn’t about scaring kids — it’s about building familiarity, confidence, and capability.

      We cover:
      • What toddlers can realistically do in an emergency
      • How young children recognize danger and ask for help
      • Why pre-teens often outperform adults when they have clear procedures
      • How teens step into leadership roles during real emergencies
      • Why preparedness reduces panic — and fear-based messaging doesn’t work

      Throughout the episode, we share real-life examples of children who saved lives, evacuated safely, or made critical decisions during:
      • Medical emergencies
      • Fires
      • Natural disasters
      • Violent incidents

      These stories prove one core truth:
      Children are not liabilities in emergencies.
      Unprepared children are.

      ⸻

      🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode
      • How cognitive development affects emergency response at different ages
      • Why repetition and normalization matter more than one-time instruction
      • How to assign age-appropriate responsibilities without overwhelming kids
      • What parents, schools, and child-focused organizations should stop doing
      • How to build preparedness without creating anxiety

      ⸻

      The checklist breaks down:

      • What adults should practice with them
      • Emotional preparedness strategies for all ages

    • 84_Why the Same Emergency Affects Households Differently

      84_Why the Same Emergency Affects Households Differently
      Jan 5 2026
      Preparedness isn’t about disasters — it’s about the systems you rely on every day.

      When people think about preparedness, they often focus on hazards: storms, outages, emergencies. But real-world outcomes aren’t determined by the event itself — they’re shaped by how that event disrupts essential systems and how those disruptions interact with household vulnerabilities.

      In this episode of the DisasterClass Podcast, we break down what risk actually means and why the same emergency can affect households very differently. Using a simple, practical framework — Risk = Hazard × Vulnerability × Impact — we explore how power, communications, healthcare, income, and other essential community systems quietly support daily life, and how disruptions to those systems drive real consequences.

      This episode is designed as a mini masterclass to help you:
      • Understand why disasters don’t impact everyone the same way
      • See preparedness beyond gear, supplies, or checklists
      • Recognize how essential systems shape risk
      • Identify household vulnerabilities without fear or panic
      • Make better decisions before stress takes over

      We also walk through three simple questions you can ask tonight to better understand your household risk — no shopping, no downloads, just awareness.

      Preparedness starts with understanding how your life actually works. That’s where real resilience begins.
