	Masters of Disaster

Web-based information is now available about the Masters of Disaster children's disaster safety curriculum project, jointly sponsored by Allstate Insurance and the American Red Cross. Teachers are required to meet the curriculum objectives prescribed by their respective school systems and states. These objectives are sometimes referred to as requirements. To meet the requirements for all children, teachers have a lot to cover! The Masters of Disaster curriculum components will help teachers integrate disaster safety into their regular lesson plans. Teachers can incorporate Masters of Disaster lessons, activities, and demonstrations on hazard-related topics into one or more of their teaching objectives. The curriculum will be featured at the June 6, 2000 "Real Meaning of Seismic Risk" Workshop - "Earthquake Preparedness for Schools"   For more information, see http://www.redcross.org/disaster/masters.
