GAINESVILLE - Day care providers in Gainesville and Hall County had the chance to receive child safety training Tuesday morning from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. <br>
<br>
Spokesman Buzz Weiss says it covered a wide range of potential threats.<br>
<br>
"Whether it's from severe weather, potential acts of terrorism or domestic incidents that might occur on their property, they were covered," Weiss said.<br>
<br>
Each participant received a "Play It Safe" kit containing videos and instructional material for adults and children.<br>
<br>
The program has helped public schools develop emergency operation plans the past three years. <br>
<br>
"State law requires that every public school have a plan in place and these (schools) wanted to get trained," Weiss said.<br>
<br>
However, unlike the schools, it is not mandatory for day care providers.
