A recent study showed that 20 percent of families didn't have a safety plan or procedures in place in the event of an emergency. Encourage your co-workers and employees to prepare!

Here are a few handouts that are worth keeping on-hand or passing out to help families create a safety plan. Before they leave their children, loved ones, or pets in the care of others, they should have basic safety and contact information in case of emergency. Here are some easy-to-use checklists for families (and care providers) to fill out so they’re prepared. Encourage others to print them out, laminate them, and make sure their family and friends know where to find them—we keep ours handy on our home office wall.
