1. The Division shall develop a plan for the care of children in the custody of other agencies which provide child welfare services during a disaster to ensure that the Division is prepared to meet the needs of children in the custody of each other agency which provides child welfare services if an agency is unable to meet the needs of children in its custody during a disaster. The Division may implement the plan at any time if the Division determines that it is necessary, regardless of whether the agency which provides child welfare services has requested assistance.

2. The Division shall provide such training as it deems necessary to ensure that staff is aware of the plan that is developed and that the staff responsible for carrying out the plan understand their responsibilities and are prepared to carry out those responsibilities. Any such training may include, without limitation, exercises to allow staff to practice carrying out their responsibilities during a disaster.

3. The Division shall submit to the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Health and Human Services and the Joint Interim Standing Committee on the Judiciary and post on its Internet website a summary of the plan for the care of children during a disaster developed pursuant to this section. If the Division makes any changes to the plan, the Division shall provide to each committee and post on its Internet website an updated summary of the plan.
