The agency says no extensive damage has been observed at any of its child care facilities.

The Child Protection and Family Services Agency (CPFSA) says all children residing in residential child care facilities across the island are safe and accounted for amid Monday's earthquake.

Further, the CPFSA says all staff members at these facilities and at the agency's parish offices are also safe and have been successfully accounted for.

The agency says no extensive damage has been observed at any of its child care facilities.

However, a further assessment will be undertaken at its corporate and parish offices and the National Children's Registry.
