An emergency preparedness plan is designed to ensure the safety
of children during an emergency by addressing staff responsibility
and your home's readiness with respect to emergency evacuation, relocation,
and sheltering/lock-down. The plan addresses the types of responses
to emergencies most likely to occur in your area including:
(1) An evacuation of your home to a designated safe
area in an emergency such as a fire or gas leak;
(2) A relocation of the children and caregivers to
a designated, alternate shelter in an emergency such as a flood, a
hurricane, medical emergency, or communicable disease outbreak; and
(3) The sheltering and lock-down of children and caregivers
within your home to temporarily protect them from situations such
as a tornado, volatile person on the premises, or an endangering person
in the area.
