Study: Most states, including Michigan, lack disaster plans for kids

Study: Most states, including Michigan, lack disaster plans for kids | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Eight years after Hurricane Katrina, most states still don't require four basic safety plans to protect children in school and child care from disasters, aid group Save the Children said in a report released today.

The group faulted 28 states and the District of Columbia for failing to require the emergency safety plans for schools and child care providers that were recommended by a national commission in the wake of Katrina. The lack of such plans could endanger children's lives and make it harder for them to be reunited with their families, the study said."

Who cares about cost?
It's about the CHILDRENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

and this:
"Every workday, 68 million children are separated from their parents," Carolyn Miles, Save the Children's president and CEO, said in a statement with the group's annual disaster report card. "We owe it to these children to protect them before the next disaster strikes."
