Natural disasters can wreak havoc on families, schools, and entire communities. Schools with robust McKinney-Vento programs are more prepared to respond to and recover from disasters. However, the process is long and arduous. In this webinar, we will hear from two McKinney-Vento Liaisons with extensive experience with disaster response and recovery, as well as a Crisis Management Specialist. The presenters will share practical strategies to help schools and service providers prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.
