26. American Red Cross Of RI - Family Disaster Planning how you could help neighbors who have special needs, such as disabled andelderly persons. American Red Cross of rhode island IF DISASTER STRIKES http://www.riredcross.org/arc-familydisasterplanning.htm

FAMILY DISASTER PLANNING Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic serviceswater, gas, electricity or telephoneswere cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. FOUR STEPS TO SAFETY 1. Find Out What Could Happen to You Contact your local Red Cross chapter or emergency management office before a disaster occursbe prepared to take notes. Ask what types of disasters are most likely to happen. Request information on how to prepare for each. Learn about your community's warning signals: what they sound like and what you should do when you hear them. Ask about animal care after a disaster. Animals are not allowed inside emergency shelters because of health regulations. Find out how to help elderly or disabled persons, if needed. Find out about the disaster plans at your workplace, your children's school or day care center, and other places where your family spends time. HOME HAZARD HUNT In a disaster, ordinary items in the home can cause injury and damage. Anything that can move, fall, break, or cause a fire is a potential hazard. Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. Fasten shelves securely. Place large, heavy objects on lower shelves. Hang pictures and mirrors away from beds. Brace overhead light fixtures. Secure water heater. Strap to wall studs. Repair cracks in ceilings or foundations. Store weed killers, pesticides, and flammable products away from heat sources. Place oily polishing rags or waste in covered metal cans. Clean and repair chimneys, flue pipes, vent connectors, and gas vents.

Back to Packet Index Educating the gifted: Prudence Island couple tries to beat the system By D. Morgan McVicar Journal-Bulletin Staff Writer PORTSMOUTH - On a brisk spring morning, as the Porter family heads towards a bluff overlooking Narragansett Bay for a family photograph, you have the feeling Norman Rockwell is setting the scene. With their puppy Molly Brown yipping in the background, Craig Porter, 50, puts his arm around Betsy, 38, Andrew, 8, and Scott, 6, stand in front of their parents, smiling shyly, eight blue eyes peering toward the mainland, their blond and reddish hair flapping with the breeze. Craig and Betsy Porter insist that they, particularly Betsy, always aspired to the average American family lifestyle suggested by family portrait. They resisted, they say, as the signs became increasingly obvious that their children would dictate otherwise. * Journal Bulletin Photo by KRIS CRAIG CRAIG AND BETSY PORTER: They tried tutors for their two boys, Andrew and Scott, with little success. Last month, the Porters received permission from the Portsmouth School committee to educate Andrew and Scott at their Prudence Island home this year. The action was hardly radical, with an estimated 120,000 to 260,000 students educated at home nationwide; 76 children in Rhode Island and about 200 in Massachusetts are in approved home education programs.
