In the aftermath of the recent school closure due to an active shooter, I thought it necessary to remind our congregation of important disaster preparedness planning techniques. Information is taken from: FEMA e-Brief, September 10, 2015
Parents and caregivers! Disasters can strike even when your child is away at school, so it is important to have plans in place so you can connect during an emergency. Preparing your child for emergencies that may happen during the school day is as easy as A-B-C.
Steps you should take to protect your child:
A: Ask how you will be reunited with your child in an emergency or evacuation;
B: Bring extra medications, special food, or supplies your child will need if you are separated overnight; and
C: Complete a backpack card and tuck one in your child’s backpack and your wallet.
