About

The document describes how summer camps can get ready for emergencies by working with local first responders, finding and fixing hazards, making a safety plan, and training staff. Camps should have emergency kits, clear roles for everyone, ways to contact parents and the media, maps of the campgrounds, and plans for helping people after an incident. It also says to practice drills often and update the plan every year before camp starts. Helpful websites are listed for more information on being prepared.
