As either a parent or school administrator, one must express concern as to whether their school is properly prepared for the catastrophic disaster that is predicted by many experts throughout many different regions of North America. The importance lies within the fact that if and when such a disaster occurs, the children may be at school when a disaster occurs. And since most roads and access to roads may be closed or unsafe to drive, children may be stuck at school for several days if not weeks waiting for conditions to improve...and it won't just be your school. It is also important to consider the fact that the school's facilities will probably suffer structural damages making it unsafe to occupy. Therefore, your school must have proper supplies for staying outside in the dark. The worst mistake you can make in preparing for an emergency is assume that others will be able to help you. This is simply not true...your school must be self-sufficient because emergency personnel will be busy rescuing people who need immediate medical attention. That is why it is so important to have a school survival kits and emergency supplies in strategic locations throughout your facilities. Often parents and school personnel have kids bring in their own 'survival kit' with sugar filled snack food and juices. What parents and educators often don't realize is that you would have to replace the food, water, batteries, etc. every six months. Despite popular misconceptions and myths, these items have a very short shelf life, especially when stored in storage facilities. One thing you definitely don't want during a time of emergency is for someone to get sick from contaminated food or water.
