Emergency Plan for Evacuation Procedures
1. An evacuation for emergencies includes loss of power, heat or water, fire or natural disaster. When there is a loss of power, we will contact the child’s parents as soon as possible to pick them up. In the mean time, there would be flashlights in the classrooms and many stored in the center for further use. If there a temporary loss of water, there will be gallons of spring water stored in the center which there will be enough for every children and staff for drinking no more than 2 hours. If there continues to be a loss of water for the whole day, the child(ren)’s parents will be contacted to pick up their child(ren) as soon as possible.

In addition the lead teacher will take the portable first aid kit which includes first aid supplies, emergency medical consent form, emergency transportation consent form, parent emergency and backup contact persons phone numbers, and children for the phone and the daily attendance sheet. The lead teacher will compare the daily attendance sheet with the children evacuated from the center and report immediately to the Center Director or designee who will be responsible for communicating with emergency and/or fire personnel.
