Help your family plan for an emergency
I
f you are a caretaker to a child in
school or daycare, it is important
to know the potential movements
and landfalls of a major storm.
Educating yourself on your child’s
school or daycare emergency policies
will help give you confidence that
they will be safe in an adverse weath-
er situation.
Pick Up
Your hurricane plans should
account for the possibility that your
children may be at school or a daycare
when weather conditions deteriorate.
Decide who will pick the kids up and
where to go from there.
Make sure you know the safest
route and head there as soon as
advised. Older children also will feel
safer if you explain the plans to them
so they know what to expect in the
thick of the situation.
Staying Put
Sometimes the safest thing is for
everyone to stay put and off the roads.
Department of Homeland Security
recommends finding out if your
school or daycare is prepared to “shel-
ter in place” if necessary, and where
they plan to go if they must leave.
Here are a couple of additional
questions to ask your administrators,
according to www.ready.gov:
• How they will communicate with
families during a crisis?
• Do they store adequate food,
water and other basic supplies?
Prepare a School Emergency Plan
Every daycare provider and school
should have site-specific emergency
plans, so if you live in a disaster-
prone area, ask now. If no plan exists,
you might consider volunteering to
help develop one.
Knowing how to safely reunite
your family will give you comfort
during an emergency weather situa-
tion. Together, you can decide on your
next move based on weather forecasts
and any evacuation recommendation.
