fifth-grade students using CD-ROM technologyUtah State used CD-ROM technology to teach fifth-grade students and their families how to prepare for and survive earthquakes. Children in 36 of the 40 Utah school districts received the hands-on kits and learned how to “drop and cover.” Plans are ongoing to extend the project to seven other western states. After the Northridge earthquake, California helped shaken survivors deal with the aftermath through tips in the media.
