Safety Villages are Important!

� When a child talks to their family about what they

learned at the Safety Village, they might just share

information that could help prevent injury or save a life.

� Gives people a common goal—makes the community

stronger.

� Teaches children how to respond appropriately to an

emergency situation.

� Be proud of your local Safety Village!
