  • Disaster Preparedness Curriculum
  • Be Aware, Be Prepared is a fourth grade unit of study created by the Office of Emergency Services in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education. In this unit students build knowledge about the geological systems of the Earth, natural disasters, and disaster preparation through print and technology sources and rative research. The unit directly reflects the overarching intent and goals of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The curriculum includes safety information that could be lifesaving to students and families in our community. Our goal is to see this unit implemented in all fourth grade classrooms in San Diego County. We welcome feedback from teachers who have implemented the unit in their classrooms; future versions of the curriculum will be adapted with your input.
