Wash. Admin. Code § 388-148-1460 - How do I prepare for a natural disaster or emergency?
(1) You must develop an evacuation plan in
case of a fire, natural disaster or other emergency. The plan must include:
(a) An evacuation floor plan, identifying
exit doors and windows;
(b) Action
to take for evacuating your home that ensures responsibility for the children;
and
(c) A plan for notification
regarding the whereabouts and well-being of the children following the
evacuation.
(2) You must
share this plan with your licensor and update the plan when circumstances in
your home change. The emergency plan will be based on the type of children in
your care, and the conditions of your home and property. Evacuation plans may
change based on the developmental level and behaviors of children living in
your home.
(3) Your required plan
for natural disasters should include supplies of food, water, medications and
other necessary supplies.
(4)
Emergency evacuation drills shall be practiced at least quarterly with children
in your home. You must review evacuation procedures with every child when he or
she is placed in your home.
