(Unit 1) Topic 5: Environmental Safety

After the Emergency

​Topic 5 Page 23

​You put a lot of time and thought into preparing for an emergency. Now that you have survived one, how well did your plan work? Do not guess at the answer. Assess how each step in the plan worked for children, parents, staff, and local emergency officials. Despite your best efforts to reassure and present a calm, safe environment, staff and children may experience some distress. Signs and symptoms of distress may be withdrawal or depression, feelings of helplessness, uncharacteristic acting out or anti-social behavior, or physical symptoms such as headache, bladder/bowel problems, chest pains, and changes in eating and sleeping patterns. 
While professional assistance may be needed, you can help overcome this post-traumatic stress by giving them correct information about the disaster, letting them help put things back to normal, and providing opportunities to talk and share their feelings. Now is the time to plan for the next emergency. Rewrite your Emergency/Disaster Plan if your evaluation shows the need. Restock the emergency supplies you used.
