Health Tip: Prepare Kids for School Emergencies

A school emergency shouldn’t happen often, but it’s something for which you should prepare your child.

Here are suggestions from the American Academy of Pediatrics:

Create a family emergency plan and discuss it with your child. Make sure it includes a plan for communicating with each other and getting together after an emergency.
Complete the school’s emergency information form, noting any of your child’s special health needs. Update this information as needed.
If your child needs medicine, make sure the school has an emergency supply.
Find out how the school handles emergencies, including how it contacts parents and reunites parents with their children.
