Hurricane season begins June 1, and officials are urging preparedness over panic as they introduce a new Hurricane Coloring Book for Kids that features a Preparedness Robot called MEMITE, according to a Facebook post.
The posting said the coloring book is designed to help children learn important hurricane safety tips in a fun, engaging and age-appropriate way. The material aims to turn preparedness into a creative activity that caregivers can use to discuss safety before storms arrive.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through Nov. 30, and emergency management organizations often emphasize early planning, family communication plans and awareness of local evacuation routes. Educational tools aimed at children are part of broader efforts to build community resilience ahead of peak storm months.
The Facebook post included a link to download the coloring book from msema.org/prepare/mema-guides-and-publications. Officials encouraged families to use the resource as one element of their preparedness planning.
This is a developing story. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
