Preparing children for cyclones

Disasters such as cyclones can be frightening for anyone, but can be particularly terrifying for children.

As families prepare for the cyclone season, it is important to protect children from becoming too frightened or anxious, even though many of their fears may be real.

This information sheet provides ways of assisting parents and carers to help children manage their fears and to have a greater sense of being in control in threatening cyclone situations.
