September is recognized as National Preparedness Month (NPM). In this edWebinar Dr. Cathy Grace, Co-Director of The Graduate Center for the Study of Early Learning at the University of Mississippi, highlights basic elements of a comprehensive plan for early care and education programs that will mitigate the impact of any disastrous event. She brings to her presentation her first-hand experience in the recovery of the early childhood centers along the Mississippi Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina.

Dr. Grace shares:

  • An examination of the types of preparedness plans to address weather-related or man-made disasters
  • A review of the elements of a comprehensive plan, based on the type and size of child care programs, number of staff, and location (rural, urban or suburban)
  • Strategies and tips to prepare staff to implement the plan

Viewers will come away from this session with a vehicle to review their current plan or develop one that is specific to their needs. Directors of early childhood programs, state child care licensing officials, and state and local disaster response officials will benefit from this recorded edWebinar. Learn how to better prepare your early learning program to mitigate the impact of any disastrous event.
