Family and Community Services
Emergency preparedness should feel practical, approachable, and relevant to everyday life. Boreal Praxis helps families and organizations caring for children prepare for the situations that are most likely to disrupt their day — with clear plans, simple tools, and realistic guidance people can actually use.
For families
Knowing what to do before something happens can make an emergency far less overwhelming. Boreal Praxis helps families think through the situations that matter most at home, at school, while travelling, and when family members are separated.
Support can include:
Personalized family emergency plans
Home emergency preparedness reviews
Evacuation and shelter-in-place planning
Family communication and reunification plans
Emergency kit guidance
Preparedness for power outages, severe weather, fires, floods, and other local hazards
Age-appropriate emergency education for children
Practical planning for pets, medications, mobility needs, and other household considerations
Let’s make sure kids and adults have the plans and confidence
to stay safe in the most difficult moments.
“I Know What to Do! is a practical, reassuring guide that helps children and their families prepare for emergencies together.”
For childcare organizations
Childcare centres, early learning programs, camps, and other organizations responsible for young children face challenges that ordinary workplace emergency plans rarely address.
Boreal Praxis helps childcare organizations develop practical procedures that staff can understand, remember, and use while continuing to supervise and protect children.
Services can include:
Emergency plan development and review
On-site inspections and facility walkthroughs
Evacuation and shelter-in-place procedures
Lockdown and secure-facility procedures
Parent and caregiver communications
Emergency reunification planning
Severe weather, utility failure, fire, and hazardous-material procedures
Staff roles, responsibilities, and quick-reference guides
Emergency supplies and preparedness assessments
Tabletop exercises and staff discussions
After-action reviews following incidents or exercises
Plans are developed with the realities of childcare in mind: maintaining supervision, accounting for every child, supporting children under stress, communicating with families, managing medications and accessibility needs, and making sound decisions when staff and resources are stretched.
Your emergency plan is more than a document on a shelf.
We will make sure your team knows how to use it when it matters.
