As bushfires, floods and storms become part of childhood for more Australian families, Sesame Street is stepping in to help.

Sesame Workshop has launched a major new Extreme Weather initiative, headlined by a new Storm on Sesame Street special, designed to help young children prepare for, cope with and recover from severe weather events.

In the special, Elmo and his friends work together to get ready for a big storm, learning how to be prepared, have courage, and calm their bodies and minds when things feel scary. After the storm passes, Sesame Street looks different, and everyone pitches in to help their neighbours rebuild their homes. With the help of the neighbourhood, including celebrity guests Post Malone and comedian Michelle Buteau, Elmo and Abby discover that small acts of kindness, and support from friends, can make the biggest difference of all.
