We're celebrating Madison - another FEMA Region 5 Youth Preparedness Council member who has been selected to serve on the national YPC. She is a 12th grade student from Wisconsin who has a passion for raising awareness about the impacts of climate change. During her time on the national YPC, she hopes to raise awareness about animal preparedness, an often-overlooked aspect of emergency planning. As a member of the FEMA Region 5 YPC, she is using Prepare with Pedro lessons on climate change to create a curriculum that teaches children about disasters and how to prepare for them. For the past three years, she has also been a dedicated volunteer at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, where she cares for injured wildlife. This experience has increased her understanding of the impact that climate change has on local ecosystems. At school, Madison organizes the Middle School Leadership Conference, manages freshman orientation and is the future stage manager for musicals and plays. She is also an avid reader with a penchant for non-fiction and fantasy. Congratulations on being selected to serve on the national YPC, Madison. We are so proud of you and grateful that you are serving our region!
