Prepared, Not Scared by The Ad Council & Newfangled Studios
- Location:







As the US heads into hurricane season, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) and the Ad Council are helping children and teens to get ready for potential emergencies and disasters in advance of National Preparedness Month in September.
Sporting the tagline ‘Prepared, Not Scared,’ a series of PSAs encourage parents, teachers, and caregivers to visit Ready.gov/kids so they can teach young people what to do when a crisis occurs, and how to take preparedness actions together.
Production partner Newfangled Studios created pro bono TV, digital and out-of-home ads addressing the different regions of the country. In addition, Fema is also teaming up with Sony Pictures on its upcoming film, Zombieland: Double Tap to promote the crucial message of emergency preparedness.
