Emergency preparedness isn't just for the home.
As kids settle into their back‑to‑school routines, it's a great time to talk about school emergency plans. Help them pack a small emergency kit for their lockers or cubbies. Consider including a printed emergency contact list, a comfort item like a deck of cards or a favorite book, wipes or sanitizer, and any essentials specific to their needs.
