StormZone is a school-based multi-disciplinary STEM education program that teaches 6th-12th grade students about the science of natural hazards, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, winter weather, extreme heat, and wildfires – and how emergency management agencies work with federal, state, and local governments to prepare for and recover from such hazards. As an extension of the curriculum, students can visit a local Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and conduct a simulated response exercise. A standards-based FREE curriculum includes weather science, preparedness, safety, and mitigation information. Participating students can become “Weather Rangers”, a community outreach service group stressing the importance of volunteerism and helping others. The program also provides a Teacher’s Guide and a Family Preparedness Tool-Kit for students to take home to their families. StormZone is an education program of Weather Expositions of America, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3).
