A KinleighCare family starting point

Preparing for an emergency

Preparedness can feel like an endless project, so families put it off. Begin with the part another caregiver would need if phones were busy and people could not meet where they expected.

If you do one thing

Choose a nearby meeting place, an out-of-area contact and one secure place where authorized caregivers can find the plan.

Three small steps

Enough to make the next part clearer

1

Confirm the numbers

Check parent or guardian contacts, one nearby backup person, the school or childcare number and the out-of-area contact. Put a review date on the plan.

2

Agree on where to reconnect

Choose a nearby meeting place and another outside the neighborhood. Follow the school or childcare program’s own reunification instructions.

3

Give the plan to the people who may need it

Keep completed copies private but accessible to authorized caregivers. Replace outdated copies instead of leaving several versions in circulation.
