"Kids Get Ready" Transcript:

Sean: “Hey, I’m Sean. I’m talking to a few friends about what it takes to be ready for an emergency or a disaster. Now I have my own Ready kit and I know my family’s phone numbers, so I’m prepared, but, uh, these guys aren’t too convinced. They don’t think I’m quite ready.”

Girl in dark blue shirt: “So Sean, what’s in your Ready kit?”

Group: “Yeah?”

Sean: “Uh, a hairnet, some Skittles, blueberry Chapstick…”

Group: “No! Come on!”

Sean: “The kids really taught me how to be prepared and they let me know exactly what I need to put in my Ready kit. If a third grader knows what to do and what to have in your Ready kit, there’s no excuse for parents not to.”

Sean: “So let me get this straight. I should probably in my Ready kit have food, water, a flashlight and a battery-operated radio?”

Group: “Yes!”

Sean: “Well, what about hairnets?”

Group: “Come on! No! Come on!”

Sean: “Go to ready.ga.gov to review the Ready kit list and develop your own family disaster plan. Right guys?”

Group: “Yeah!”

Girl in light blue shirt: “It makes good sense to make sure you and your family are prepared.”

Boy: “So get ready NOW.”

Man: “If you’ve got kids like these, or kids like me, get ‘em ready.”

Man and group: “Prepare, plan and stay informed.”

Man: “Hey, I put out moving out of my parent’s house for years, but this is something you can’t put off.”

Girl in yellow shirt: “Yo, what’s up?”

Kids talking.

Kid in group: “And you better take two…”
