Safety & Emergencies Pamphlet

This is the final assignment of the school year for health 6! 

We are going to create our very own safety & emergencies pamphlet.  The pamphlet can contain any information that will help to prevent injury, or to properly deal with an emergency if you are confronted with one.

There are a number of good websites to check out for information, the best of which is the American Red Cross Preparedness Fast Facts page:  http://www.redcross.org/portal/site/en/menuitem.86f46a12f382290517a8f210b80f78a0/?vgnextoid=92d51a53f1c37110VgnVCM1000003481a10aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default
