Tornadoes, like most natural disasters, can be harrowing events for all persons in any given region, and most certainly for young children. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed this website to inform children about the nature of tornadoes. From the site's homepage, visitors can read about the experiences of young people who have been present during major tornado-bearing storms. Along with these firsthand accounts, visitors can read about the Fujita tornado scale, watch media clips of tornadoes, and learn about those locations in the home that may provide the best shelter from the effects of a tornado. No doubt many young people will be concerned for the wellbeing of the family pets during such an event, so they will find the section that deals with pets quite valuable. Here interested parties can learn about how best to evacuate various pets safely and what items may help ensure their survival in case of a major disaster.
