Announcement of Requirements and Registration for the “My Preparedness Story: Staying Healthy and Resilient” Video Challenge

Resumen

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), located within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announces the launch of the "My Preparedness Story: Staying Healthy and Resilient" Video Challenge. Natural disasters and other emergencies can happen anywhere and at any time. Taking action ahead of an emergency can help individuals, families, and communities fully prepare to prevent or minimize potential health impacts. Young people can help their family, friends, and community become stronger by protecting their health during disasters and every day. For example, some can do it by volunteering in a health center or with a local Medical Reserve Corps Unit, learning first aid skills, developing an emergency plan, preparing an emergency kit, or educating their family and friends about actions they can take to be healthy. This contest invites young people between the ages of 14 and 23 to create a short video, 60 seconds or less, that answers the question, "How are you helping family, friends, and community to protect their health during disasters and every day?"
