Emergency Planning Tips Last year my children's school sent home a note detailing emergency lockdown and dismissal procedures, noting that students can be cared for there for extended periods of time. My immediate thought was meals. While FAAST has always advised parents to have an emergency lunch on-hand during the school day, the need for such measures is now more evident. If you have not provided your child's school with a back-up meal or two, please do so. My son is allergic to peanuts, nuts, tuna, and various legumes so I simply put a pop-top can of meat, applesauce (with plastic utensils), crackers and fruit snacks in a paper bag marked with my son's name. The bag remains with his emergency meds at school. Something else to consider is making sure your child carries a snack with him/her while away from home, at sports events or wherever. Better to be safe than hungry! We all pray that such measures are just precautionary but in today's world we must be prepared for anything. Peace to you all. Jennifer Redmond
