Preparedness Plan for Students Recommended
The American Red Cross is issuing a recommendation to all families with children who are school-age to make a preparedness plan with their children before they head off to school.
In a press release, American Red Cross said:
“It is always a good idea to think about an emergency and how you might handle it, such as weather-related disasters.”
The Red Cross says it is important for students who are home alone before or after school or who walk to and from school to have a plan of action on how to handle being impacted by a sudden weather-related alert, an unforeseen school closure, or how to protect themselves from injury while away from home or at home alone.
For guidance on establishing a preparedness plan, go to redcross.org/prepare.
