Summary:

"There is a clear need to ensure early childhood programs are prepared for emergencies. A recent study revealed that 51 percent of Americans believe that during a disaster help will arrive in less than 60 minutes. This finding highlights the disconnect between expectations and reality. Contrary to public perception, during a disaster or large-scale emergency, help will not be available for a prolonged time, likely measured in hours, not minutes. This reality underscores the importance of emergency preparedness planning for early childhood programs. In this book, you will find information designed to increase your emergency-preparedness knowledge. Real-world events and case studies provide a backdrop to further explore and understand the issues. The ultimate goal is to provide you with the knowledge and the resources needed to ensure your early childhood program is prepared"-- Provided by publisher.
