The program does not focus on repairs or modifications to the building's structure such as the roof support system, beams, columns, and foundation. The program works with volunteers to make the changes. Parents or community members can be organized to help with the project. The kit includes a checklist outlining what should be done by the volunteers. It also includes a list of necessary tools and materials.
Most tasks require simple hand tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, saws, and stud finders.
The Protecting Our Kids from Disaster Kit can be used for any size childcare program including home sites.
