Name Tag Procedure

POLICY: The child care staff will assume responsibility for identifying and determining attendance during a disaster.

PURPOSE: To make sure no child is left behind.

To easily identify children in an emergency situation.

To serve as a back-up system to daily attendance roster.

To provide information about the child for disaster workers.

PROCEDURE:

1. Once relocated to the evacuation site, a name tag (e.g. name tag stickers) will be put on each child.
2. Blank name tags and a marker will be kept in first aid kits.
3. Make a name tag for each child on your roll sheet.
   1. Child’s Name
   2. Parent's or legal guardian’s name and phone number
   3. Childcare program name, address, and phone number
   4. Classroom name and teacher’s name
4. All missing children's name tags will be given to the Emergency Charge.
5. As children are picked up, take their tag off. Have the person taking the child sign the tag and note where they are going on the tag. (Leave tag on if going to new location or hospital and make a note of location).
6. Name tags will be kept as reference, and therefore should be legible and safeguarded.
