About the Project
This project is a partnership between the Office of Strategy and Innovation, the Office of Sustainability, Raleigh Fire Department's Division of Emergency Management, Communications, and Raleigh Arts. It seeks to create a book/booklet that will provide practical tips and tools that young community members can use during disasters. The art will convey the topics visually and appeal to teens and younger community members.
The comic should cover an overview of types of emergencies that typically occur in Raleigh, including flooding, hurricanes and tropical storms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, winter storms (snow, ice, ice storms) and heat waves. Other topics include how to create a family emergency plan, assembling a 72-hour emergency kit, communicating during emergencies, learning emergency response skills, and developing coping strategies and mental health resilience.
