 Disaster
Preparedness in Early Childhood Settings
The threat of
disaster is real, whether natural (weather, fire, flood),
technological (blackout, chemical spill), or intentional
(explosive, bioterrorism); and being prepared is essential. Emphasis
on responding in situations which may require sheltering-in or
evacuation to a safe site, possibly for an extended time (72
hours). Content includes policy and procedure development, types
of disasters; developing procedures for lockdown, sheltering in,
or evacuation; supplies and storage; preparing children; and
parent involvement.
