FEMA Building Codes Summer Activity Sheet

This summer-themed activity sheet introduces children to the dangers of building too close to the water at the beach, using interactive games and illustrated scenarios. It explains how hurricanes and waves can cause flooding and wind damage to buildings near the shore. The sheet encourages safer construction strategies, such as building farther from the water, elevating structures, and using strong roofs and hurricane shutters. Activities include drawing, puzzles, and storytelling to reinforce the importance of building codes and mitigation for coastal hazards.
