You can’t stop a disaster from happening, especially when Mother Nature is the force behind it, but you can limit the amount of time your early childhood program is closed. In this edWebinar, award-winning author Andrew Roszak will discuss valuable lessons learned from his experience helping early childhood programs rebuild and reopen after a disaster.

Through real-life stories, Andrew will provide actionable tools, tips, and resources that are designed to help increase your level of preparedness. Attendees will learn about insurance basics, working with support services and relief agencies, and common pitfalls to avoid.

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-3 teachers and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
