Emergency Response Planning for Child Care Providers (MD)

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.
