Essays focused on how families can take steps to prepare for emergencies and included tips such as creating an emergency supply kit, taking shelter, and becoming knowledgeable about first aid and severe weather conditions.

The top three essays in each grade were awarded merit certificates from the Emergency Preparedness Commission and gift certificates of $75, $50 and $25, donated by Botsford Hospital. Winners will also be given the opportunity to share their essays with the community on Cable TV - Channel 8. Additionally, all students who submitted essays received tickets to the Phoenix Theaters.
