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!

Joseph P. ★★★★★

The reopening timeline checklists alone are worth the price—I’ve already used them to map out our first week back. It’s practical, not just theory, which is exactly what our staff needed after the last scare.

Joshua U. ★★★★★

So glad I finally got this — the breakdown of recovery phases actually helped me map out a real timeline for reopening, which I'd been totally stuck on. Even the sections on picking up the pieces felt practical instead of just scary. Worth it for any director losing sleep over the "what if.

Stella K. ★★★★★

The section on limiting how long a program stays closed after a disaster is exactly what I needed—it's practical, not just theory. I've already shared a few of the pick-up-the-pieces strategies with my staff.
