“There are some special steps parents of younger kids should take, especially if they have youngsters going to school for the first time,” Kelly Sharon, the regional disaster preparedness and partnership manager, said in a news release. “They should make sure the child knows their phone number, address, how to get in touch with their parents at work, how to get in touch with another trusted adult and how to dial 911. And teach them not to talk to strangers or accept rides from someone they don’t know.”
