Our hearts go out to Southern California and those whose lives have been affected by the wildfires. We hope everyone in the community is staying safe during this challenging time.

To assist you during and after natural disasters, we have compiled a list of helpful websites focused on preparation and recovery, specifically for our little ones, as we know they may not understand what they see or hear.

• Prepare for wildfires and stay safe during: Ready.gov
• Helping children cope with disaster: FEMA.gov
• Create your ‘go bag’: ReadyForWildfire.org

We remain committed to supporting families and their communities through times of crisis and beyond, and we stand with you as you navigate this difficult period.

We brought passionate early childhood state leaders and NAEYC affiliates together to explore how NAEYC resources and tools can be used to elevate quality standards at the state level. We were inspired by the passion and dedication of our partners and attendees! We are excited to see the future impact of this convening!
