Disaster Planning and Fire Safety video (run time: 7:57 minutes) Video is in the word document.
Your task is to write a one-page, professionally written, approachable letter to families that clearly articulates the child care center’s policy on Disaster Planning and Fire Safety Procedures. In this letter, you will clearly identify and outline the specific procedures as defined in the video: Disaster Planning and Fire Safety by the Community Care Licensing Division of CDSS (watch video first).
The letter needs to convey specific actions that will be taken. You will want to include:
the types of potential disasters
your program’s responses to these disasters (evacuation, temporary relocation, and sheltering children/staff)
how you will evacuate, where you will go, ways that children’s needs will be cared for
how often a drill is required to take place
After reading your one-page letter, families should have a clear understanding of this policy as set by the Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services. This letter should only include this specific policy. This letter should be written from the position of the director of the child care center. This policy letter should be clearly written, friendly, and concise. The letter should be written in a professional letter format. Please review these guidelines for writing a basic business letterLinks to an external site..
You may make up the name of your child care center, address, etc. For example, Happy Child Care Center, 123 Main Street, Any City, CA. Likewise, you may address the letter to any family name (e.g., Dear Families, or Dear (Last Name) Family, etc.)
The letter should be your original work and not copied from any other source. The content of your letter should be from facts stated in the video from CDSS and written in your own words; families will want to know exactly what you are going to do during a disaster or fire. I do not want quotes from the video and I do not want you citing other internet sources, program policies, or published materials; the only source for this assignment is the video.
This assignment is an assessment of what you understand about this topic as stated by the Community Care Licensing Division. You will be graded on:
Accurate and supporting evidence for your policy (from the video)
Rationale must reflect your understanding of the Community Care Licensing policy for Disaster Planning and Fire Safety
Format of your letter using appropriate salutations and a three-paragraph letter format
Grammar, spelling, college level writing
