With good asthma control, your child should not miss school and should be able to participate fully in school activities including sports.

Regular, clear communication with the school can help your child maintain good asthma control. You can help to prevent asthma problems at school by talking to your child’s teachers and by making sure you child has proper asthma treatment.

Meet with your child’s teachers each year before classes start

Give teachers a copy of your child’s asthma action plan and explain what it says.
List and explain your child’s asthma triggers and why it’s important to avoid them. (Some common triggers in the classroom include furry animals, dust, mould and strong smells.)
Show teachers your child’s asthma medicines and how to use them properly – make sure the medicines are well labelled.
Make sure the teachers know which medicine is the rescue medicine that helps in an asthma emergency (usually the blue inhaler).
Ask about the school’s rules about asthma medicines – stress the importance of allowing your child to carry his medicines with him at all times.
Ask about policies for field trips – with a bit of extra planning most trips should be safe.
Offer to arrange an information session with a Certified Asthma Educator or Certified Respiratory Educator.
Make sure your child’s teachers know what to do in an emergency and whom to contact

What to do in an asthma attack

Sit child down, with her back straight.
Give child 2 puffs of her rescue medicine. It’s usually in a blue puffer (for example, Ventolin®).
If the child’s breathing is not getting easier, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Keep giving child puffs of her rescue medicine until the ambulance arrives.
Call the child’s parents or emergency contact person.

Red Cross Staff and Volunteers

Charge into Action

Following Floods

Within hours after officials issued flood-related evacuation orders to residents of several Vancouver Island communities late last week, Red Cross staff and volunteers were on the ground, providing emergency hygiene and cleanup kits, as well as other relief supplies to affected residents.

About a dozen Red Cross volunteers and staff sprang to action with approximately 15 more on standby. Nathan Huculak, Communications Coordinator for the Red Cross, says the quick response from the Disaster Management team was fantastic.

“Having enough trained volunteers to deploy to the affected area made it possible for us to assist people immediately,” says Huculak. “Right now we have enough people activated to provide assistance, but the situation and weather continues to be unstable, so we may need to call on more volunteers in the near future,” he says.

The area was hit last week with significant flooding after heavy rain overwhelmed a number of Island rivers. Hundreds of residents in more than 150 homes were forced to evacuate. More than 80 homes sustained damage. Bouts of heavy precipitation continue to rain down on saturated river channels, and a good portion of the Island remains on high alert.

Right now, Huculak says volunteers are focused on providing capacity and needs assessments for flood affected residents on behalf of the Cowichan Valley Regional District. The Red Cross in BC is part of a multi-agency committee established earlier this year to coordinate recovery efforts in the Cowichan Valley. Red Cross is one of several agencies in addition to government representatives working together to provide emergency services including temporary housing, food, clothing, and other items to flood affected residents.

Huculak says the partnership is a great example of how agencies are stronger together than apart. “We are already seeing the impact of this new recovery group. We were all at the table together within hours, ready to coordinate our efforts and help people more quickly and efficiently.” he explains.

Families wishing to make an appointment for a flood assessment can call 250-746-2561. The Red Cross is conducting assessments out of the Cowichan Flood Resilience Centre at the Duncan Christian Reform Church at 930 Trunk Road.
