Developing Emergency Preparedness Plans

May 22, 2024

Years of experience with natural disasters has shown that Head Start and other early childhood programs play an important role in response and recovery efforts after disasters or emergencies. Providing stability and sharing information about resources and agencies that can assist families is critical in the days and weeks after the event.  

The Head Start Program Performance Standards require written plans for staff and training for staff for emergencies. This webinar will offer key lessons and resources for programs in the process of creating, revisiting, and updating their preparedness policies and procedures. We will share best practices and the latest guidance available to help keep programs safe during the ongoing public health emergency and to be prepared for future crises. 

Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Head Start Training Package holders. For more information on our Head Start Training Package, click here or contact us..
