Updating Provider Information During Emergencies
 
We know that updating provider information and vacancies during emergencies is important for R&Rs so that you can have accurate information for families who need to find new or temporary child care arrangements. Working along side of our Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) partners is also important and it is helpful if your R&R staff can keep the following in mind:
 
1. Encourage providers who are not in immediate danger to update their email addresses and cell phone information to ensure CCLD can communicate through the Everbridge Mass Notification System during or in advance of disasters such as fires and Public Safety Power Shut Off. Share PIN 24-06 CCLD with providers.
 
2. Assist providers that have access, but do not have an email, to obtain one. Explain the importance of receiving and responding to Everbridge notifications and keeping their contact information (phone and cell numbers included) up to date with CCLD.
 
3. Remind licensees to contact their Regional Office if they have been impacted by fires in any way.
 
4. As is typical with any disaster, information and status can change quickly; avoid over communication with providers while balancing that with supportive local information. We understand that many providers may contact you directly to share information regarding their status, but it is important they contact CDSS/CCLD also.
