After learning about emergency preparedness and engaging in module content, you will now develop an Emergency Preparedness plan for your program. The exact requirements and components of an emergency preparedness plan vary by state, program type, and participation in certain programs (CCDF, PTQ, etc.) For this assignment, you will be focusing on five (5) emergency situations most common in Indiana. Use Module 4 content and the attached rubric to help you complete this assignment.
Each of the five (5) sections includes what will happen BEFORE the emergency including: how the emergency will be announced, by whom and to whom, how children will be prepared (learning activities, guest speakers, drills,) and how often drills will be conducted. Drills must be conducted, at a minimum, as required by state licensing.
All applicants go through a series of tests that check their level of English and knowledge of formatting styles. The applicant is also required to present a sample of writing to the Evaluation Department. If you wish to find out more about the procedure, check out the whole process.
