            <p>Emergencies in Texas child care settings demand preparation that is both practical and compliant. This TECPDS-aligned workbook equips directors, caregivers, and staff across Licensed Child-Care Centers, Licensed and Registered Child-Care Homes, and School-Age Programs to interpret and apply the Texas Minimum Standards to real conditions. Beginning with clear, Texas-specific definitions of “emergency” and “disaster” grounded in §§746.5201–.5202, the course differentiates natural and man-made events and connects each to the planning actions you must implement. Interactive activities reinforce terminology such as evacuation, relocation, shelter-in-place, and lockdown, while reflective prompts help you identify the hazards most likely for your operation and document them appropriately.</p>

<p>Building on foundational definitions, the course guides you step-by-step through assembling a compliant emergency preparedness plan aligned with §§746.5202 and 746.5204, including roles, supplies, communication, and reunification procedures. You will sort emergency bag essentials, download editable plan templates, and close gaps with owner-assigned action items. Dedicated modules apply supervision standards from §§746.1201–.1207 to high-stress scenarios, ensuring active monitoring, ratio maintenance, and name-to-face accountability during evacuations and sheltering. Communication and roles are clarified through incident role assignments, communication trees, and troubleshooting for common breakdowns, consistent with §§746.5204–.5205. Practice expectations under §746.5205 are operationalized with drill planners, after-action reviews, and documentation tools that support annual training requirements under §746.1309(3), §747.1309(3), and §744.1309(3). The workbook culminates in operation-specific checklists aligned with §746.5207, §747.5207, and §744.5207, downloadable Canva tables for different settings, and a final knowledge check that generates a TECPDS-aligned certificate—providing defensible records for licensing files and a repeatable process for continuous improvement.</p>
