Creating Calm During Chaos
A Simple Guide for Supporting Children in Disasters
During and after disasters, kids need to feel safe, loved, and supported. Parents and caregivers can help by listening carefully, showing kindness, giving hope, and keeping things calm.
This guide will help you support children in tough times.
Disasters Don’t Wait. Neither Should We.
Stronger than the Storm serves to connect people and organizations that are focused on, or curious about, the following topics:
1. WHAT is the reality for children in a post-event world.
2. WHY it matters that children’s needs are addressed.
3. WHAT the real versus ideal currently is.
4. WHEN and WHAT action needs to be taken.
Henry & the Hero Helpers had a great time at the OYC Golf Tournament! ⛳️
Stronger Than The Storm joined the @oycmiami Golf Tournament to share our children’s good fun for bad days series, Henry & the Hero Helpers, with the community.
Through fun stories and activities, we help kids learn how to prepare for storms in a way that feels positive and engaging.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about building the next generation of preparedness heroes!

We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and for the opportunity to bring Henry and the Hurricane and education to kids of all ages.
From special book readings for kindergarteners to meaningful conversations with high school students about preparedness, leadership, and future opportunities, this partnership allows us to meet kids where they are and grow with them.
We’re especially thankful for our team, including @hollymerrillraschein, who helps build these important partnerships and shows up for students every step of the way, inspiring curiosity, confidence, and possibility.
Together, we’re helping kids feel prepared today and hopeful for tomorrow. 💙

We were honored to also be joined this December by Representative Christine Hunschofsky for a special Henry and the Hurricane reading at the William E. Slaughter Boys & Girls Club.
By meeting kids where they are, after school, in safe spaces, we’re helping families build confidence and preparedness together.

Happy Valentine’s Day 🫶🏻we’re celebrating the kind of love that protects, empowers, and prepares.
When children learn emergency preparedness, they gain more than knowledge they gain confidence, resilience, and the ability to help themselves and others when it matters most. Every book, every resource, and every conversation helps build safer families and stronger communities.
Because love isn’t just about today. It’s about making sure they’re ready for tomorrow.
Join us in encouraging the next generation of hero helpers.

❄️🦎 Wait… frozen iguanas?!
A rare arctic cold front is sweeping across Florida this weekend, with temperatures plunging into the 20s and 30s cold enough for iguanas to temporarily freeze and fall from trees! (Yes, that’s a real thing 😅)
While Floridians are breaking out their winter coats, much of the country is facing historic and unprecedented cold temperatures, winter storms, and dangerous conditions.
Stay warm, stay safe, and maybe look up before walking under a tree 👀🌴

This December, Stronger Than The Storm had some very special guests for our book readings. 💛
We were honored to be joined by Commissioner Lesley Briones for a special reading of Henry and the Hurricane at Sheridan Elementary School.
This event supported the school’s @kendrascottfoundation Little Yellow Library an initiative that provides:
📚 250 new books chosen by the school
🎓 A literacy grant to support student learning
Moments like these remind us that preparedness and literacy go hand in hand.
