I am starting this thread to discuss what information we need to give the school and the need for an emergency medical  kit to be kept at school and accessible by a designated person . Preschool  right up to and including college students. This would be just as important in a work setting as well as school.

Unfortunately we live in a time where we must be prepared for any event. In our high school last spring there was a threat and the school was locked down,

NO ONE  WAS ALLOWED IN OR OUT FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

Everything turned out OK and the threat did not turn into a disaster. I am now realizing how important it is for all of us to be prepared in case of this type of situation.

What if this turned into a real disaster and the lockdown was for several days???

I will be putting my daughter into  preschool this fall. I am going to make sure the school has a 3 day supply of medication and injection supplies.  I will make sure the instructors and workers understand her dosing and what to do in an emergency.

I have a letter to give the school found at  www.cw.bc.ca/endodiab

SCHOOL LETTER FOR THE CORTISOL-DEPENDENT STUDENT

There is a section at the bottom to fill in for DISASTER READINESS I will modify this letter and individulize it for my daughter.

HOPEFULLY NONE OF US OR OUR CHILDREN WILL EVER BE IN THIS SITUATION BUT LETS BE PREPARED!!!
