Learn at the Zoo EOC
Emergency management has five phases. Annah keeps them in her guidebook — tap each one to see what the zoo team does, and what you can do at home.
Annah the Bunny says: According to the Emergency Guide… there are five phases, and every one of them helps keep people, animals, and places safe!
The Five Phases
Phase 1 of 5
🛡️ Prevention
"Stop it before it starts"
Prevention means stopping an emergency from happening at all.
Officer Panther says: At the zoo: Officer Panther checks that every habitat gate is locked so animals stay safely inside.
🏠 At your home: You wipe up a spill so nobody slips.
Situational Awareness
Situational awareness is a big phrase for a simple skill: knowing what is happening around you. Use Annah's four steps.
1. Stop
Pause for a moment instead of rushing.
2. Look
What do you see? Anything blocked, broken, or wet?
3. Listen
Alarms, sirens, or someone calling for help.
4. Tell
Tell a trusted grown-up what you noticed.
