Young Children and Youth Cope with Weather Emergencies

Nebraska Extension team has developed a website specifically addressing the unique needs of families and childcare providers during weather emergencies. Resources are available in English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for diverse communities. The content is age-appropriate, offering simple explanations for young children and fostering open communication with older youth.

Although everyone experiences some stress in their lives from work, bills, or life-changing events, the presence of chronic stress can compromise health and well-being. We also respond to stress in different ways. We know that as parents and educators caring for children, you want answers regarding what to do before, during, and after an emergency event, disaster, or crisis. That’s why you’ll find various resources that may be helpful for you, your family, your children, and your community.

The website provides guidance and resources for parents, educators, and caregivers on how to best help young children and youth.
