As a parent, the safety and well-being of your children is your primary concern. It takes a great deal of trust to leave your children in child care, and when disasters occur, this trust takes on a new dimension. The National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies understands this and is leading the first-ever nationwide initiative to prepare child care programs for disasters. This effort includes resources that you can use to ask the right questions of your child care provider and play a role in planning for any catastrophe that strikes.
