| (a) An emergency evacuation and relocation plan is
a plan designed to ensure the safety of children during a fire, severe
weather conditions, or another type of emergency requiring evacuation
or relocation of children in care.
(b) In an emergency, your first responsibility is to
move all the children to a designated safe area known to all employees,
caregivers, and volunteers. Your plan must also require the person
in charge of your operation during the emergency to:
(1) Designate an employee to call the fire department
in case of fire or danger of fire, explosion, toxic fumes, or other
chemical release. If the danger requires immediate evacuation of the
operation, this person must first evacuate the operation and then
make the necessary call from another location;
(2) Designate an employee responsible for securing
children's emergency numbers, emergency medical authorizations, and
medications during the emergency;
(3) Once the person in charge is at the designated
safe area, account for all children who were in attendance at the
time of the emergency; and
(4) Ensure that no one uses elevators during a fire.
