Kelly Cares Foundation supports new scholarship
Posted on June 23, 2014
There were few dry eyes in the house after former Laker football coach Brian Kelly and his wife, Paqui, announced their support for a Grand Valley scholarship that honors a Laker legend.
The Kelly Cares Foundation presented a $50,000 check to the Hosford Family Scholarship, which honors Jamie Hosford, a 12-time Laker letterwinner who died in March. The foundation held its annual golf outing June 23 at Blythefield Country Club.
Kelly, who coached the Lakers from 1991-2003, said his family continues to come back to West Michigan because "this is where we started our journey."
"The foundation started here and we wanted to come back here to help out," said Kelly, head coach at the University of Notre Dame. He said education was important to Hosford, a longtime Rockford Public Schools administrator, and supporting education is one of the Kelly Cares hallmarks.
Dan and Tom Hosford played for Kelly on the first Grand Valley national championship team (2002). Dan Hosford said his family was planning a scholarship to honor Jamie before he passed away. The Kelly Cares support means the scholarship can be awarded in the fall of 2015.
The Hosford Family Scholarship will be awarded to qualified students from Rockford High School.

Fine arts event a great afternoon
To the editor:
On March 24, I attended the Friends of Steubenville Fine Arts Deli Luncheon. The event took place in the Steubenville High School commons. I wanted to express my gratitude to the students from Harding Middle School and Steubenville High School. It was a pleasure to see the young people interacting with the attendees at the luncheon. The students were well-mannered, attentive and a joy to be around.
It was very heartwarming to see these students, who gave up their Sunday afternoons to raise money for the fine arts program at Steubenville High School. Many of these students were athletes and not directly involved in the fine arts, but they were still happy to give a Sunday afternoon to raise money for their fellow students.
It was a perfect afternoon in the high school commons, surrounded by students from the Steubenville City Schools, good food and a wonderful production of "Cats." Thank you, Steubenville City Schools, for making this possible.

Bring It, Krause!
Ask anyone in my Southside Chicago neighborhood who they're voting for this November and you might hear about a lot of Jim Thome/John Danks ticket write-ins. For now. While we all know how easily the magnanimous momentum of baseball can change, what we know for sure, at this exact moment in time, is that the Chicago White Sox are indeed the AL Central Champions.
So, EAT IT, Mr. Krause!
While you're doing that… our dear RSBS readers would like to know the answers to the following:
What hurts more, Al? The Sox winning the Central or your Tigers being puke-spitting awful and finishing in dead last?
What makes you cry more, Al? The fact that I was right at the beginning of the season or the fact that I was right at the end of the season?
What keeps you up at night, Al? Not being able to win an argument or not putting in the time to win an argument?
Wrap your head around those inquiries, Mr. Krause. I understand that you may need a minute or a day, year, decade. That's fine. By the time you've formulated your meticulous thoughts, I bet Sarah Palin will be writhing in her own talking points as she prepares to take on Senator Biden on Thursday night.
But hopefully, we'll hear what you have to say by the time the Cubs drop their first game to the Dodgers.
It's all in the timing, my man.
So go ahead. You've done it before. Sure, go ahead and hate me, Al, but don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
4 Comments
Hate to say it, Al: when he's right he's right. But Jim Thome for president? I was going with Derek Jeter, given his speechmaking skills.
Well the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Jeffrey Lung
Now Jeffrey more than trouble
You see he stand bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the mens just call him sir
And its bad, bad Jeffrey Lung
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Paul, do we have too much time on our hands today? Not enough baseball on TV? No lasagna to cook? No book proposal to write? (Gotcha on that last one.)
Holy cow. I feel honored, Prince. That was… that was a thing of beauty: "All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the mens just call him sir"… ah, like music to my ears.

Well, Ari started dc this week, and the first three days he was terrific...he ate 12 oz. and slept quite a bit and barely cried at all. But, today, I just got a call that he only ate 3 oz. and has cried all day!
Should I worry that he is not getting enough? Is this normal??? I feel like I got punched in the gut.

My DS was quite sick and was in the NICU.
I was not allowed to have him out of his incubator for more than 30 mins.
So he was supplemented with as much BM as I could pump and then formula.
We had to get him to poop as much as possible because of a blood group issue and severe jaundice that almost needed a blood transfusion.
Hence the more he ate the more he pooped and the faster he got better.
If that wasnt the case he would have never had formula.
He is now 5 weeks old and I am still having to supplement him with formula twice a day.
I tried going a day without a bottle and he screamed for the 8 hours straight. I nursed him as much as I could but there was nothing left for me to give.
My first son was an exclusive Bf'er and im feeling that im not enough for my new son. I drink a ton of fluids a day mostly water and feed him on demand. But it never seems to be enough.
I pump as much as I can but never get much. I actually got more the 1st week he was here than I do now!
Im just geting frustrated and feeling as If Im failing him and me.
However it is nice that he takes a bottle and still nurses which is a luxury I didnt have the first time. I just wish I could increase my supply somehow.

text: David Akers (1975/88): Virtually identical in rarity to the Type II and actually the second most common of all gold dollars from the standpoint of total number of appearances in our 192 auction catalogue survey. Despite their high price, choice uncirculated specimens are readily available. Almost all of them have a very weak 8 in the date, as well as weakness in LL of DOLLAR. Even several proofs that I have seen of this date exhibited this weakness.

- The 2008 Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor

- Social Psychology Research Unit
- Abstract
- We are living during a time of rapid technological change. Emerging technologies---notably information and life science technologies---have profound social, political, psychological and ethical implications. Public perceptions of emerging technologies are potentially volatile. The Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor was developed in 2003 at Swinburne University of Technology. It involves a representative nationwide survey of Australians, and provides an annual 'snapshot' of public perceptions regarding new technologies in Australia. The 2008 Monitor is the sixth edition of the Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor. It provides a general account of public perceptions about new technologies in Australia, including trust in institutions that provide information about new technologies. The 2008 survey included 1000 respondents. Participants in the national survey were asked how comfortable they were with the current rate of technological change; how comfortable they were in relation to various technologies; the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with statements about the value of science and technology, and their beliefs as to the amount of control science should have over nature; and how much they trusted various institutions, organisations and groups for information about new technologies. Key findings were: 1. Australians are comfortable with the rate of technological change in general, but the degree of comfort varies for specific technologies; 2. Australians are much more comfortable with having wind farms than with having nuclear power plants in Australia; 3. Australians are moderately comfortable with the possibility of clean coal but less comfortable with the Government's proposed carbon emissions trading scheme; 4. While the degree of comfort with genetically modified (GM) plants and animals for food is relatively low, Australians remain more comfortable with GM plants for food than with GM animals for food; 5. Australians trust scientific institutions and the non-commercial media for information about new technologies. They do not trust government institutions, major companies or the churches. They have the least trust in the commercial media; and 6. Australians report high levels of trust in medical doctors but lower levels of trust in mental health professionals.

The stakes have never been higher as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin wrangle to get everyone on the same page -- namely the Declaration of Independence. Directed by Ted Pappas, theatrical fireworks will fill the O'Reilly Theater in this thrilling story of how we went from 13 colonies to the United States of America.

"Story Book Christmas" ParadeWhile we just got through Halloween, and are preparing now for Thanksgiving... The Downtown Casper Christmas Parade is rapidly approaching!
Parade Coordinator, Lew Windsor joined us on GMW to share this year's theme as well as the requirements to enter your own float in the parade.
The parade will move along to the theme of a "Story Book Christmas" and Windsor says people have all kinds of ideas for their floats, from reading story books to dressing up like actual story book characters.
Windsor reminds us that **all entries must be lighted** as the parade is at night. She also made it clear that NO FLOAT should have a Santa on it, as there is only one Santa and he is at the end of the Parade. She says this keeps kids from seeing too many Santas, and ruining the magic of Jolly Old Saint Nick.
The parade will fill the downtown streets of Casper starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday November 24th. For more information call Lew Windsor at 232-8726

Those of you who are subscribers to Addicted to Race may have noticed that I've fallen off my game a bit in the last couple weeks.
Last Monday's episode didn't happen because my computer basically chewed it up, and neither Jenn nor I were able to reschedule later in the week. And this past week I didn't have any time to do a new episode.
Unfortunately the next few weeks are going to be a bit hellish for me: a combination of final exams and outside commitments (weddings, family stuff). But I don't want to leave you hanging podcast-less for a month.
So here's what I'm suggesting. For the rest of May, ATR episodes are going to be made up almost entirely of content submitted by listeners. This week I'm going to put out an episode of all the audio comments I've received since last episode.
And I'll keep doing that for the next few weeks.
But in order to do this, I need your help! So will you please do me a favor and call our voicemail comment line at 206-203-3983 and leave an audio comment (or two or three)?
It can either be in reaction to past episodes, or to any of the things going on in the news lately. Not limited to these topics of course, but here are some to make you think:
- Virginia Tech shooting and the media's treatment of Cho's ethnicity and immigration status, also the treatment of his name: Cho Seung-Hui or Seung-Hui Cho?
- The recent discussions about misogyny in hip hop. What did you think of Oprah's town hall meetings? How did we get from Don Imus saying some ignorant shit to blaming hip hop?
- The "Stop Snitchin'" movement. Did any of you catch Anderson Cooper's interview with Cam'ron on 60 Minutes? How has the media handled or mishandled this topic?
- Racism on the radio. What are your thoughts on Rush Limbaugh's "Barack the Magic Negro" song? What do you think of JV & Elvis's racist Chinese restaurant prank? Is racism ever going to stop being a way to boost ratings?
- The squandering of Katrina funds. Did you see this Washington Post article? "Allies offered $854 million in cash and in oil that was to be sold for cash. But only $40 million has been used so far for disaster victims or reconstruction, according to U.S. officials and contractors. Most of the aid went uncollected, including $400 million worth of oil. Some offers were withdrawn or redirected to private groups such as the Red Cross. The rest has been delayed by red tape and bureaucratic limits on how it can be spent."

my son is 7 months old and we're still pretty much exclusively breastfeeding.
one month ago i started trying to give him rice cereal mixed w/ BM once a day and he sort of (kind of) liked it - but not really.
since then, i've tried:
mashed banana
pureed carrots
he doesn't really like banana (and it was really ripe), is so-so on avocado, and doesn't like carrots.
i was only trying to incorporate solids approx. once a day...b/c he seems really interested. but when it comes to actually eating it, he turns away and closes his mouth.
yesterday we were eating basmati rice w/ a celery/mint/parsley/beef stew (it's a middle eastern dish) and i was like, why don't i give him some? i put it in this manual food mill (rice + stew) and he ate it! i even put some on his high chair tray and he picked it up and ate it!!! and i fed him from the spoon and he kept opening his mouth for more!
so that was just one small meal...
but my question is: do any of you have babies who aren't really interested in "baby food" - like rice cereal? or mashed up fruits and veggies? and who seem to like adult food that is mashed up?
i was hesitant to start solids - and don't want to overload his system (if that makes sense) w/ too many confusing foods....and i know it's more about taste/texture at this point - rather than nutrition. but i was just curious about other people's experiences.
he is 7 months old, was 7 lb 13 oz at birth, and now weighs 22 lbs - so he seems to be gaining weight fine. the pedi said he's at the 90% percentile, so i know he's getting nutrition from my BM and growing - but i wanted to be able to offer more solids....

If only every day were marked with fiestas, or if it were that easy to go home to the province every week, then my sweet tooth wouldn't look for any other confection than those coming from the kitchen of my very own grandmothers.
They seem ordinary, these desserts called "kakanin", named after their main ingredient (cooked rice or "kanin") and "kain", which plainly means "to eat". With most types made with a few elementary ingredients – glutinous rice, water, sugar, derivatives of coconut, butter, and sesame seeds (with other ingredients such as egg, cassava, and potato added according to local spin) – then wrapped in the same banana or palm leaves, the varieties of kakanin appear to be cloyingly redundant and uninteresting. But the nuances in measurements and proportions, the type of rice, the way the rice is ground, the way coconut milk is extracted, and how it is finally cooked gives the native delicacy an infinite number of enjoyable possibilities.
The most popular in the kakanin family is "puto" or steamed rice cake, which appears white in its traditional form, to be topped with butter. Additions of ube and pandan change its color and flavor. Salted egg is also used as topping. Varieties of puto include "puto bumbong", which uses a special type of glutinous rice ("pirurutong") that gives it a distinctly purple color. It is topped with shredded coconut curd mixed with panocha (from muscovado sugar) .
"Puto lanson", from Iloilo, is made with grafted cassava, while "puto mejia" uses ginger juice. "Puto malcohido" differentiates itself with the use of plantain leaves in the cooking process. Puto has also undergone its own hybridization with "puto mamon", made with milk, flour, and eggs, and "puto pao", which is a cross with the popular sweetmeat siopao.
The kakanin that usually accompanies puto in fiestas and other special occasions is "kutsinta" (cochinta), a sticky-chewy brown rice cake that incorporates cassava and uses lye water. It is likewise topped with shredded coconut curds.
Popularly served during Misa de Gallo (Midnight Mass) – a tradition where Catholic devotees attend early morning masses from December 16 to 24 – is "bibingka", joined by the puto variety of "puto bumbong". "BIbingka", a type of pudding, is also common in Goan cuisine. Baked in clay ovens, this fluffy rice cake is also topped with butter and grated coconut curds. Both dishes are keenly associated with the cool early morning weather of December that coincides with the warm anticipation for Christmas.
Suman and Tuping
Another rice delicacy with many known variants is "suman". It is either steamed like puto or toasted, but is always comprised of glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk. It is said that there are as many variants of suman as there are provinces, but here are some of the most famous. "Suman sa ibus" (sticky rice in palm leaves) is probably the most widely known, with its nipa leaf wrapping that turns yellow when cooked. "Suman sa lihiya", my particular favorite, is waxy rice soaked in lye and boiled with its banana leaf covering. Both are served with sugar and freshly grated coconut curds. While "suman sa lihiya" is usually shaped in flat tubes, "suman sa latik", which is made of the same material, is shaped in triangles and is served with "latik" or cooked coconut milk residue. Cooked without the banana leaf wrapping, it is called "suman sa inantala"; integrated wth a uniquely balmy, minty flavor, it is called "suman sa binuo". Finally we get to "tupig", which is ground glutinous rice pre-mixed with sugar and grated coconut curd before it is wrapped in banana leaves and roasted. This final variant I can eat one after the other just like potato chips!
"Pichi-pichi", a filling merienda staple, is not made of rice, but the grated cassava that is used for it gives it its gelatine-like quality. It is covered in coconut curd in the same way munchkins are rolled in sugar and other toppings.
Another delicacy that can serve as a snack is the delightful "espasol". It is really nothing but finely ground glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and rolled in cylinders and covered with powdered sugar. This is what family and friends usually bring when they come from the province of Laguna. Each time, I obligingly accept their gift like a child receives candy.
"Palitaw" is even simpler than "espasol". Sticky rice is washed, soaked, then ground, then scoops of the resulting batter are dropped into boiling water. They then rise ("litaw" in the local language) to the surface in soft, flat discs. The process itself sounds childish, which is precisely why I loved watching our nursery cook prepare this for our everyday merienda. To me it looked like magic, especially after I dip a few discs in sugar, sesame seeds, and coconut curd before I joyfully consume them.
Also made from sticky rice, but with coconut milk and brown sugar, is "biko", a rice cake that I would like to think is the Philippine's (one of two) sweet version of pizza. But unlike the Italian dish, this only needs toasted coconut curd as topping.
Maja blanca, maja mais and maja mais panna cotta
If you want to skip the rice in biko and just retain the coconut milk, you need only add cornstarch and sugar and you get "maja blanca". This has been modified to include corn and milk to make "maja mais". A further innovation – fusing "maja mais" and panna cotta-produces "maja mais panna cotta", which replaces the Italian dessert's gelatin poweder and cream with the local coconut milk and cornstarch.
The most frivolous of the kakanin delicacies, which now and then reminds me of the color wheel and is the second of the country's sweet pizzas, is the blancmange "sapin-sapin" ("sapin" meaning layer or patch) [cover photo]. It is made with glutinous rice or rice flour soaked into a paste, combined with coconut milk, water, sugar, and food coloring. Each concentric layer comes in a different hue, usually ranging from purple, yellow, and white. Even if they all taste alike, there is always something fun in taking bits from each layer – just to make sure they really do have the same flavor.
Unlike most food in the Philippines, which has its roots in Chinese, Spanish or even American cuisine, the humble kakanin has predated outside settlers and colonizers. It is one type of dish – in all its subtle variety – that can proudly be called native to the country.

- Title
- Ultrasonic inspection of gas porosity defects in aluminium die castings
- Author(s)
- Palanisamy, Suresh
- Abstract
- This thesis documents a PhD research program undertaken at Swinburne University of Technology between the years 2000 and 2004. The research was funded by the Cooperative Research Centre for Cast Metals Manufacturing and was undertaken in collaboration with Nissan Casting Plant Australia Pty Ltd and the Ford Motor Company Australia Limited. This thesis reports on the investigation of the possibility of using an ultrasonic sensing-based, non-destructive testing system to detect gas porosity defects in aluminium die casting parts with rough surfaces. The initial intention was to develop a procedure to obtain ultrasonic signals with the maximum possible amplitude from defects within the rough surface areas of the castings. A further intention was to identify defects with the application of a suitable signal processing technique to the raw ultrasonic signal. The literature review has indicated that ultrasonic techniques have the potential to be used to detect subsurface defects in castings. The possibility of classifying very weak ultrasonic signals obtained from rough surface sections of castings through a neural network approach was also mentioned in the literature. An extensive search of the literature has indicated that ultrasonic sensing techniques have not been successfully used to detect sub-surface defects in aluminium die castings with rough surfaces. Ultrasonic inspection of castings is difficult due to the influence of microstructural variations, surface roughness and the complex shape of castings. The design of the experimental set-up used is also critical in developing a proper inspection procedure. The experimental set-up of an A-scan ultrasonic inspection rig used in the research is described in this thesis. Calibration of the apparatus used in the inspection rig was carried out to ensure the reliability and repeatability of the results. This thesis describes the procedure used to determine a suitable frequency range for the inspection of CA313 aluminium alloy castings and detecting porosity defects while accommodating material variations within the part. The results obtained from ultrasonic immersion testing indicated that focused probes operating at frequencies between 5 MHz and 10 MHz are best suited for the inspection of castings with surface roughness Ra values varying between 50 [micro milli] and 100 [micro milli]. For the purpose of validating the proposed inspection methodology, gas porosity defects were simulated through side-drilled holes in the in-gate section of selected sample castings. Castings with actual porosity defects were also used in this research. One of the conclusions of this research was that it was extremely difficult to detect defects in castings with surface roughness above 125 [micro milli]. Once the ultrasonic signal data was obtained from the sample aluminium die castings with different surface roughness values ranging from 5 [micro milli] to 150 [micro milli] signal analysis was carried out. Signal feature extraction was achieved using Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Wavelet Transforms (WT) prior to passing the ultrasonic signals into a neural network for defect classification. MATLAB tools were used for neural network and signal pre-processing analysis. The results indicated that poor classification (less than 75%) was achieved with the WT, PCA and combination of FFT/PCA and WT/PCA pre-processing techniques for rough surface signals. However, the classification of the signals pre-processed with the combination of WT/FFT, FFT/WT and FFT/WT/PCA classifiers provided much better classification of more than 90% for smooth surface signals and 78% to 84% for rough surface signals. The results obtained from ultrasonic testing of castings with both real and simulated defects were validated with X-ray analysis of the sample castings. The results obtained from this research encourage deeper investigation of the detection and characterisation of sub-surface defects in castings at the as-cast stage. Implications for the industrial application of these findings are discussed and directions for further research presented in this thesis.

KCON faculty member lobbies for nurse practitioner bill
Posted on November 27, 2013
Ann Sheehan, Kirkhof College of Nursing assistant dean for practice, hustled to Lansing recently when senators were preparing to vote on a bill that would properly define the role of a nurse practitioner in Michigan.
As a nurse practitioner and president-elect of the Michigan Council of Nurse Practitioners, Sheehan has worked with other nursing leaders on this bill for several years.
The Senate passed the bill, 20-18, on November 13, sending it to the House for consideration.
Sheehan said passage of the bill would insert a definition of a nurse practitioner into the state's public health code. Because there is no formal definition, Sheehan said it limits nurse practitioners who want to start their own business.
The bill would also authorize nurse practitioners to practice to the full extent of their education and board certification credentials.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
It is 75 years since the Fram Museum opened!
On 20 May 1936 the museum was inaugurated by King Haakon VII and Crown Prince Olav. A national monument was now in place. Fram Museum is one of Norway's most-visited museums.
In spring 1936 the work on the characteristic pyramid building was completed and the polar ship Fram was now safely housed. She had been pensioned since 1914 after her third and last expedition, to the Antarctic with Roald Amundsen.
For many years the Fram was moored off the main naval shipyard at Horten, on the Oslofjord before it was decided that she should be restored, saved for the future and given a museum building.
Otto Sverdrup was one of those who fought to save the Fram from rot and souvenir hunters. However, without private sponsors and the dedicated efforts of the Fram's earlier crew members and volunteers, she would never have been saved.
In 1929 she was towed to Sandefjord for restoration, and in 1934 an architecture competition was announced for a suitable building. Sixty proposals were received and the winner was Bjarne Tøien's proposal with the motto Saga. The Fram was pulled into her new home with the help of an electric motor. She was moved at a rate of one centimetre per minute. Today the Fram house is a signal building in the capital and one of the city's greatest attractions.
In 2012 the Gjøa will also be housed. The Fram Museum will thereby have the possibility of developing a more complete Norwegian polar museum and, not least, will secure the Gjøa's future as an historical object. A building to house the Gjøa will also contribute to the status of Bygdøy as a centre of Norwegian maritime culture.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

I'm not sure if my milk supply has been affected by my period and with anticipating it in the next week I'm nervouse after seeing a dip. I remember hearing about a vitamin combo to take prior or during my period to help maintain milk supply.
I have a 8 1/2 mo old, bfing and starting solids slowly. A few weeks back I saw a decrease in my milk production, probably for a variety of factors- sick baby, stress/work, hydration, etc. and now seeing an increase. I got AF back in July.
What is the vitamin and recommended timeline? I'll check Kellymom too..

France became the 14th country in the world to allow same-sex couples to wed Tuesday, when its parliament approved a law that has sparked often violent street protests and a rise in homophobic attacks.
Lawmakers in the lower house National Assembly, where President Francois Hollande's Socialists have an absolute majority, passed the bill by 331 votes for and 225 against.
The law also allows same-sex couples to adopt children.
"I hope people across the country will celebrate this moment," Martin Gaillard, a 31-year-old advocate of gay marriage, told English-language news site France24.com.
Opponents of the law have held increasingly angry protests in recent weeks, including a string of confrontations with police in Paris.
They fought hard to scuttle the parliamentary bill because it also allows the use of surrogate motherhood by gay couples wanting children.
The debate is also blamed for fanning a spate of homophobic attacks, including the beating up of a 24-year-old in the southern city of Nice on Saturday, Reuters reported.

Moore, Okla., residents visit their property as volunteers clean up the debris. The area was struck by a F5 tornado on May 20, 2013. Andrea Booher/FEMA
By Shantel Meek, Policy Advisor, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary and Interdepartmental Liaison for Early Childhood Development
September is National Emergency Preparedness Month—a time for us to take time out of our busy schedules to reflect, plan and get prepared for the potential of manmade or natural disasters. Whether you're a parent, early childhood teacher or a policy maker, the safety and well-being of the children in your care is of upmost importance. Being as prepared as possible before disasters strike will determine how safe you can keep the children in your care and how effectively you can help them heal and adjust in the aftermath of disasters.
That is why the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has developed and compiled a rich set of resources to help families, early childhood providers, and policy makers prepare for- and respond to- manmade and natural disasters.
For families: As children's primary caretakers, confidants and teachers, your support can have the biggest impact on how young children recover and heal after disasters. This set of resources includes customizable family planning templates, interactive preparedness activities, books and games for young children, and links to additional resources, including videos, tips, disaster-specific guidance and fact sheets.
For early childhood providers: Millions of young children are in your care on a daily basis. Making sure you are ready and able to keep them safe when a disaster strikes is your primary responsibility. As a trusted and loved figure in children's lives, you are also on the front lines of helping children recover and heal after disasters. This set of resources includes training modules that inform how to prepare and recover from disasters, interactive developmentally appropriate books and activities to complete with children before- and after- disasters, and tip sheets from the National Children's Traumatic Stress Network to help you and the children in your care cope.
For policy makers: Making sure your systems and networks are informed and have well-designed plans in place can help keep children safe, reduce chaos for programs, staff and families, and make recovery easier and more effective for all involved. This set of resources is a one-stop-shop for informational memoranda, state child care plans, template child care plans and guidance on ensuring the children and families in your programs are as prepared and safe as possible when disasters strike.
Disasters can happen at any time and in any place. Making sure children are safe and cared for before- and after- disasters is a shared responsibility. This month, and every month thereafter, we hope families, early childhood programs, communities and states use this rich set of resources to get READY, get informed and get organized in order to protect and support the millions of children that depend on us.
Here are a few resources to get you started:
