American Households Not Prepared For Disasters, Not Confident That Children’s Needs Will Be Met

The United States is experiencing a number of extreme weather events. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina and three years after Superstorm Sandy, the vast majority of Americans remain unprepared for major disasters, according to results from a National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) research study. Many communities, systems and child-serving institutions are not sufficiently prepared to meet the needs of children when a crisis strikes. And many parents are not confident that their children will be protected and are not aware of what plans schools have made to be sure that children are safe in case of a catastrophic event in their community.

Super Bowl 50 Asks Consumers to “Play Your Part”

The Super Bowl is undeniably America's biggest sporting event of the year. In fact, last year's game pulled in 114.4 million viewers – the most watched show in U.S. history. And large brands have never shied away from spending big dollars on advertising during the game – spending upwards of $4.5 million for a 30-second commercial. Yet, for the first time Super Bowl organizers are taking this captive audience to create a force for good, asking consumers to play a part in making the event the "most healthy, sustainable, shared, and socially responsible Super Bowl ever."
