USATODAY.com - Homeland Security campaign schools kids in preparedness

The Homeland Security Department on Thursday introduced a new emergency-preparedness campaign to teach 8-to-12-year-olds how to prepare for a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other emergency.
"Preparedness is not just a government challenge," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said during a visit to Andrew Jackson Language Academy, an elementary school in Chicago. "We all have to learn how to plan for the unexpected."
