You can't stop a disaster from happening, especially when Mother Nature is the force behind it. But, you can limit the amount of time your early childhood program is closed, pick up the pieces, and return to normal as quickly as possible. The key to serving children and their families again quickly is advanced planning.

Preschool Preparedness for After a Disaster,

the third book in the Preparing for the Unexpected Series, will help your center get up and running after the worst has happened. In very approachable, bite-sized pieces, emergency-preparedness expert Andrew Roszak, JD, MPA, EMT-P, shares advice from his more than 20 years of experience in disaster recovery to help you prepare, respond, and get back on your feet quickly.



Learn how to:
  • choose and work with a restoration company and other contractors, while avoiding scams and rip-off schemes;
  • mitigate trauma experienced by staff and children;
  • connect with community support services and relief agencies;
  • navigate insurance claims;
  • and much more!

Jacob ★★★★★

I work at a small preschool and this book’s step-by-step plan for reopening after a flood is exactly what we needed—it made our staff feel way less overwhelmed. The checklist format alone saved us hours of guesswork.

Samuel O. ★★★★★

The section on "continuity of operations" gave our team a clear, step-by-step plan we never would have thought of ourselves. It's already making us feel more prepared for whatever comes our way.

John ★★★★★

Picked this up for our center after we realized our old plan was completely unusable -- the section on limiting closure time after a disaster is exactly what we needed to feel prepared. The practical steps for getting back to normal are laid out in a way that makes sense for busy administrators.
