1 Coping with a Disaster: What you might experience It is not unusual to have physical and emotional reactions to a traumatic event Physical Rapid heart beat Difficulty breathing Chills or sweating Nausea or vomiting Wakefulness or fatigue Change in appetite Increased sensory perception, hyper vigilance Difficulty in sleeping Headaches Emotional Fear or panic, confusion or poor concentration Denial, disbelief Withdrawn from family and/or friends Anger, guilt, suspicion Reoccurring thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares Difficulty making decisions Need for information Reluctance to abandon property Rejection of outside help PAGE 65
2 How do Families Cope with Disasters Recognize the way you react to the event is not unusual Try not to make big life changes Talk to family members and friends Listen to one another, help each other with daily tasks Try to achieve a balance between rest and activity Emotional Problems: After a disaster Emotional problems following a disaster are a result of problems in daily life and not from personal reactions or poor coping skills. Problems can include: Dealing with the emotional reactions of family members Family and marital problems including domestic violence Uncertainty about insurance coverage or the need to borrow money because of insurance shortfall Reconstruction strains and delays The discomfort and lack of privacy of having to live in shelters, damaged homes, motels or with relatives How You Can Help The tips in this guide are designed to help you and your family prepare for and survive an emergency. If you are interested in helping your community recover from an emergency, here are some suggestions: PAGE 66
3 Make a Donation Making a financial contribution to a volunteer agency involved in disaster relief is often the most sensible and efficient way of helping people in need after a disaster Before donating any goods, including food or clothing, wait for instructions from local officials or check with a specific organization. Unneeded items overwhelm the recovery effort and may go to waste Become a volunteer Volunteer with a recognized disaster volunteer organizations such as the Red Cross or St. John Ambulance before a disaster happens Do not go directly to volunteer at a relief organization, hospital or disaster site during or immediately following an emergency; wait for instructions from local officials, or check with specific organizations as to their needs. Be prepared to provide information on what skills and training you have to offer Be patient. Immediately following a disaster, there are often many people waiting to volunteer. But remember there may be a greater need for volunteers in the weeks and months following a disaster During or immediately after an emergency, residents should contact their local municipality for information on the need for volunteers. PAGE 67
4 Know Your Insurance Damage from most storms, including hurricanes, tornadoes, wind and hail, is generally covered by insurance. Also, water damage caused by water coming through stormdamaged roof and windows, broken pipes or overflowing appliances is usually covered. Other water damage such as sewer backup may, or may not, be covered. Insurance covers more than damage to your home and contents. Additional living expenses are an example. It pays for the increase in living expenses, including moving expenses, if your home is unfit to live in or you have to move out while repairs are being made. If a generator is hardwired into your electrical panel, notify your insurance representative and ensure the work was done by a qualified professional. Be prepared. Protect your financial assets. Discuss your insurance needs with an agent, broker or insurance representative. What should you do if damage occurs? Take steps immediately to protect your property from further damage. Board up holes or shut off water supplies to ensure your belongings are not damaged more that they already have been. If possible, get your car under cover. Save receipts for materials you use. Any reasonable costs incurred to protect your property will be covered by your insurance company. Advise your insurance representative about your loss as soon as possible.

5 York Catholic District School Board No matter how we may plan, many things in our world can and do go wrong. While we may not be able to avoid the unexpected, at least we can be prepared for them. Every school and location in the York Catholic School Board has an Emergency Response Manual on site, which details actions to be taken in the event of emergencies like: Student accidents Fire Bomb threats Trespassers or intruders Hostage-taking Severe weather conditions Protocol for dealing with child abuse The Board's Emergency Response Manual was developed with the assistance of representatives from the fire department, police, and Children's Aid Society. School principals have emergency plans and procedures in place to address the above mentioned situations. Principals also ensure that staff and students are trained in the plans and procedures and hold regular drills to practice and evaluate their plan. In case of a school evacuation, depending on the emergency, parents or guardians would be called to pick up their children, or parents or guardians would be called once their children are safe in an alternate location. PAGE 69
6 If parents or guardians cannot be reached, the emergency contact (noted on the form filled out by parents at the start of the school year) would be called. If the school were unable to reach the parent or emergency contact, then students would be supervised at the alternate location until parents can be reached. For further information, contact the York Catholic District School Board at (905) , (416) , or ycdsb.edu.on.ca. York Region District School Board The Education Centre 60 Wellington St. W., Box 40 Aurora, Ontario L4G 3H Fax: Are school staff trained to deal with emergencies that may arise in schools? The York Region District School Board staff in public elementary and secondary school and education centre offices are trained to deal with emergencies that may arise. PAGE 70 Plans are in place to deal with emergencies such as: Fire Bomb threats Armed intruders Gang activities Severe weather conditions Regional chemical spills
7 Each school administrator has a CRISIS MANAGEMENT BINDER and a FIRE PLAN in his/her location which outlines actions to be taken in such emergencies. Administrators ensure staff are trained in policies and procedures that are in place to deal with emergencies that may arise. These plans have been developed in co-operation with the York Regional Police and local Fire Departments. School Evacuation Should it be necessary to evacuate the school, a plan is in place to bus students and staff to alternate locations. Parents or guardians would be called once the children are safe in the alternate location. If the parent or guardian cannot be reached, the emergency contact would be called. This is the person who is designated by the parent (on the school s emergency form) to be called in an emergency when parents are unable to be contacted. Should the school be unable to reach the parent or the emergency contact, the child(ren) would be supervised at the alternate location until the parents or guardians could be reached. For more information on the school s emergency plan, parents are asked to talk to their school s administrator. PAGE 71
