How To Act If A Natural Disaster Occurs Whilst Your Child Is At School

What should I do if a natural disaster occurs while my child is at school?

If a natural disaster occurs while your child is at school you should monitor media reports and emergency communications through your emergency management agency if they have such capabilities and follow those instructions. If you try to rush to where your child is, you may add to the problem. You may find when you get there that your child is no longer there and they've been moved to another site. So as with other crisis situations, its really best to find out what's going on before you go trying to help your child, but in fact possibly endangering them and other children.
