Team SAFE-T

On July 23, Dr. Lucy Jones, Chief Scientist, and Dale Cox, Project Manager, of the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project (MHDP) met Hillary Mendelsohn, Director of Team SAFE-T (School and Family Emergency Training), an alliance of public and private organizations dedicated to integrating safety and preparedness in schools throughout California. The meeting was held to develop partnerships between Team SAFE-T and the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration to develop school-based educational materials that teach age-appropriate emergency information and preparedness skills for students in grades K-12. Team SAFE-T is the a key component of the “Be Smart, Be Responsible, Be Prepared. Be Ready!� campaign, for which California First Lady Maria Shriver, is the Honorary Chair.
