FEMA, an agency within the DHS, already has a program preparing children for disasters. “FEMA for Kids” (www.fema.gov/kids) includes a pudgy and nervous-looking airplane leaking a trail of smoke, a hermit crab mascot named “Herman,” and a song with a rap beat:
“Disaster . . . it can happen anywhere,
“But we've got a few tips, so you can be prepared,
“For floods, tornadoes, or even a 'quake,
“You've got to be ready — so your heart don't break.”
