This is NOT how you "prepare" for an emergency.

This is how the Red Cross is teaching kids how to "prepare" for an emergency. I wonder, did they also suggest that, after dumping their stuff in a pillowcase, that they stick their head between their legs and kiss their butt goodbye???

Am I being too harsh here?

If the house is on fire, I don’t want the kids stopping to pick up anything except for other living creatures. This is practice for something more sinister.

I wasn’t in elementary school that long ago. They always told us to leave everything and get out.

This makes me think of school kids hiding under their desks during the cold war if a nuke went off.

• If you had inflatable pillow cases, you could ride out a tsunami.
• If you had edible pillow cases, you'd have an emergency food supply.
• You could put a pillow case over your head and walk by a facial detection station unnoticed.
• You can stuff a pillowcase full of supplies, tie it to a stick and runaway from danger.
• You can make a pillowcase into a weapon, a slingshot, or a strangulation device, or a smothering device, or put a bowling bowl in it for a crude mace.

Of course, they’re supposed to wander around in a burning building so they can find a pillow case?

Cut eye holes in one pillowcase, cover head, rob liquor store and use another pillowcase to hold the loot.
