An almost offensively bright soundtrack assaults your ears as this video opens—a piano, a drum set, and what sounds suspiciously like a saxophone rubbing shoulders in the background and playing over the words of an animated unicorn that stands in the foreground.
Dressed in a jumper with "FEMA" printed across the chest in bright colors, the character's voice has less to do with a magically glowing equine and more to do with a buttery Anglo-American male with a cadence deeper than the Grand Canyon, more reverberant than a set of church bells, and possessing an upbeat tone that belies the subject content.
"What to do?"
The unicorn muses, leaning an elbow contemplatively upon a desk.
"It's a question that everybody's asking during these unhappy times, and that many folks are giving wrong answers to.
With all the mean people going around, you might find yourself, or might have even already been, in some pretty scary situations!
So, let me tell you what to do.
Don't be an Andrew."
The scene shifts, showing an anthropomorphic mouse huddling within a cartoon evacuation shelter as the unicorn's voice narrates over the top.
"This is Andrew.
Andrew needs to wait for people to come and take him to safety, and he's currently in what we call an evacuation shelter, but Andrew's decided that he's going to try and leave on his own!"
The mouse proceeds to peek out the shelter's door before trotting casually into the road beyond.
This particular venture lasts for all of 3 seconds before he summarily gets trampled by an on-coming pony, flattening into a furry pancake upon the street as the unicorn resumes.
"Don't, do, this!
If you're in a safe area—a shelter, basement, or communal gathering point—do not leave it for any reason.
People can't protect you if they can't find you, so wait for grownups to come and take you to a safe place."
As the mouse peals himself off the street, a bus driven by a squirrel wearing a cartoon army helmet motors up, and the rodent boards the vehicle.
"Don't be scared of the people sent to evacuate you.
They might look scary with all the guns, but their only job is to keep you safe."
The clip proceeds in this fashion for several more minutes, demonstrating, among other matters, the importance of donning gasmasks when venturing outside—always, as the unicorn jovially reminds, "with the aid of an adult," boiling water before drinking, and maintaining a blackout curfew—all points helpfully illustrated by the titular Andrew dramatically failing to adhere to all of the above.
The last frame of the video concludes with a shot of the mouse safely installed within a brightly colored tent complex, a number of other animals poised at the perimeters in cartoon military uniforms, and a smattering of other characters dotted about the tents.
The legend, "THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY, HERE TO PROTECT YOUR SAFETY," spans the frame in block capitals.
