The primary caregiver needs to specify how infants under 24 months will be evacuated from the home in case of an emergency.
In plain English: The home's written emergency plan must explain how children will be evacuated, relocated, or sheltered and locked down, including children under 24 months and those who need extra help, and how every child will be accounted for.
