Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2021), “Forty-six percent of individuals are expected to rely a great deal on people in their neighborhood for assistance within the first 72 hours after a disaster.” Therefore, my goal is to ensure the health equity of my students, their families, and their communities by having emergency safety plans in place in case of an earthquake or natural disaster.

I have identified that emergency preparedness kits are essential for short-term survival for students and their families/households during a natural disaster.

I polled 130 of my Community Health Equity Academy (CHEA) students and identified that only 6 out of the 130 students are prepared for a natural disaster/earthquake in the Bay Area. As we know, it is not if, but when a natural disaster will happen. The right emergency equipment and emergency training will help our students deal with a wide range of disasters during an emergency. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2021) suggests students “collect emergency supplies and create “go kits” for your family”. Therefore, as a part of my next marking period unit plan, my students will be learning more about disaster preparedness and will be creating emergency supply kits to take home. These emergency preparedness kits will ensure that students are prepared at home for these disasters.
