After a Disaster: Tips for Youth

After a disaster, you may feel afraid, frustrated, irritated, or angry. No matter how you feel, never take these feelings out on others by hitting, shoving, or pushing someone, or using a weapon. Instead, try some of these tips to help control your anger or sadness and maintain a sense of self-control.

What can I do?

  • Respect others and value differences.
  • Talk out issues. Talk things out instead of bullying, teasing, or talking about others.
  • Seek help. If you feel stressed or depressed, reach out to a friend, a family member, or another trusted adult.
  • Keep yourself safe. Let friends and family know where you are and whom you are with.
  • Get involved in the cleanup effort.
  • Avoid drugs and alcohol. Stay away from alcohol and drugs as well as people who use them.
  • Learn other ways instead of fighting to resolve arguments. Talk through arguments without yelling, hitting, or pushing.

What You Should Not Do

  • Bully, tease, or yell at others.
  • Punch, hit, or shove other people.
  • Carry weapons. Carrying a weapon increases the chances that you will be seriously harmed or that you may harm others.
