Team SAFE-T for Schools

We live in a state where disasters are commonplace, and we have a responsibility and duty to teach our children the skills necessary to help themselves and those around them when an emergency or natural disaster strikes. In collaboration with the California Department of Education, Red Cross, California Professional Firefighters, the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, the California Service Corps and many other important organizations, Team SAFE-T created an age-appropriate program with integrated lesson plans, discussion topics, activities and take-home materials all focused on delivering skills needed to respond to difficult situations. This website has been designed for schools to sign on, register and search for materials needed for grades K-12.

Each grade-specific set of materials includes five 45-minute lessons to be taught over five days during the statewide School Safety Month. During Team SAFE-T week, families will be invited to participate in take-home activities and attend an assembly where Emergency Responders will address how to create a family emergency plan and improve preparedness skills.

“Team SAFE-T is an important and innovative program that will empower our children and their families by providing the knowledge and skills needed to effectively respond in various emergency situations. Importantly, Team SAFE-T will provide our schools the tools they need to comply with state mandates for emergency instruction, and it will pave the way to a safer and more prepared California. I urge educators to incorporate Team SAFE-T’s teaching materials into schools during School Safety Month, particularly Team SAFE-T week from October 3-7.”

- Jack O’Connell, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction
