The following situations are identified on our website, but they still require the creation of a chart on behalf of the Scout. This information is meant to provide guidance and direction to three aspects of the Emergency Preparedness merit badge: recognition, prevention, and reaction. You must use situations 1-5, but you will need a total of 10. Some of the links provide information on several topics, so it will be common to notice some of the same information for each link. We have also provided a chart for you to print and use.
