    Dear Colleagues,
    Does anyone have emergency disaster plans you are willing to share? We are looking to preview 5-10 plans from various kinds of childcare settings and locations. We know that policies vary widely because they are site- and program-specific, so by soliciting several plans, we can take a closer look at the variables and how each setting addresses them. Feel free to email me directly if you are willing to share (director@erafans.org). Thank you for your help!

    In Summer,

    There is a great form on the Shelby County, TN website for child care agencies.  I would highly recommend checking it out.  I am using it now with my centers to get their emergency preparedness ready.
