[quote=Anonymous]DC Director here:
You need TWO types of emergency people
1. people who can make emergency health care decisions should I need to take a child to the hospital.  they will save children's lives but will NOT set their broken arm just on my authority, so we need grandparents, etc who can receive a call (no matter where they live in the US) and give permission for something if parents can't be reached.

2.  someone else (or could be same people) who can pick up your child if you cannot.  neighbors, friends, anyone who lives close enough to hustle and get there.  I ALSO  used to encourage people to list their assistant, cubicle mate, secretary, boss - someone who could come over, grab your child and bring them back to the office if you couldn't get there in time, because that often would be an option, based on the reason you couldn't get there to pick up.  (especially if you work in DC and your child goes to a center in DC - obviously not if your child is in another state from where you work)

In the age of covid, just ask - they'll say yes, the chances of it actually happening are like ZERO - we can usually reach you now that we all have cell phones!
