In 2017, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released the Choose Safe Places for Early Care and Education Guidance Manual. The guidance manual helps environmental and public health professionals ensure that early care and education programs are located away from chemical hazards. The Choose Safe Places for Early Care and Education (CSPECE) Disaster Recovery Supplement builds upon the 2017 manual to assist environmental and public health professionals assess places where children spend time to protect children from harmful environmental exposures during disaster recovery.
Disasters disrupt communities. Homes, businesses, child care facilities, early childhood programs, schools, and other critical infrastructure can be damaged or destroyed. After the initial disaster response ends, communities begin the long process of disaster recovery. During this process, places that were once safe for children may no longer be safe. The Supplement can help identify environmental exposures that may be hazardous to children while they are in child care or at other places children spend time such as preschools and recreational facilities. Identifying these hazards can help establish ways to reduce risk.
This Supplement will assist public health professionals during disaster recovery identify potential environmental exposures to children in places where children spend time outside of their homes.
