Center Emergency and Crisis Plans must be individualized (who will help children and any accommodations that may be needed for that child). It should broadly address special needs, for example children with mobility issues and chronic medical conditions. 
 
This course provides technical assistance and step-by-step instructions to licensed center staff so they can gain insights regarding what to do during specific emergency and crisis situations. Participants will review sample plans for fire, tornado and serious accident/injury/ illness and natural or manmade disasters (power and water outage). They will also review plans for crisis situations (bomb threat, suspicious package, missing/eloped/abducted child, active shooter, intruder in the building). They will view procedures for assisting infants and toddlers as well as for assisting special needs children. In addition, participants will review plans for evacuation and relocation as well as for contacting and reuniting families.
