The Emergency Response Planning for Child Care Providers guidebook is designed to provide child care providers with the knowledge and tools to establish an emergency response plan for their individual program and to assist in recovery efforts by helping children cope with trauma.
This lengthy guidebook (154 pages) was written to be applicable to all hazards; so much of the information may not apply to a pandemic influenza scenario. However, the guidebook contains some very useful information on roles and responsibilities of child care providers, sheltering in place, stockpiling first aid and other essential materials, and special pediatric needs.
Materials submitted for this project consist of electronic documents and web
links, and combinations of both. If a component part appears to have more than
one link, this is why: CIDRAP saved the documents and reviewed both documents
and links when the practices were submitted for review. The external links
included here may be duplicative to some of the stored files, but they may
also be updated or provide additional useful information.
