TIPS TO CONSIDER
Assessment of Current Emergency Plans and Operations
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN ASSESSING YOUR CURRENT SCHOOL/DISTRICT EMERGENCY PLANS
When you assess your current emergency plans for a response, does your plan cover a wide array of incidents that could occur? This could be anything from a gas leak to an abduction of a student from a bus stop.
Schools and districts are responsible for keeping students safe and we want to make sure your school/district is in a position to be ready to respond. Consider all of your plans and policies to determine if they meet the needs of your school/district community.
WHAT CURRENT RESOURCES DOES OUR SCHOOL/DISTRICT HAVE TO RESPOND TO INCIDENTS?
If your school/district has an incident where an alternate reunification site is needed to reunify students with families, is your school/district able to bring tables, chairs, documents, radios, security, and equipment to set up within 1 hour of incident?
Does your school/district also have resources for food/water service, licensed social workers, and staff to provide for the reunification site? ​
We will help you plan and put a manual together for just-in-time training for a reunification site while actually training your team to be able to respond to the incident with confidence.
DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE TRAINED TO RESPOND TO SCHOOL/DISTRICT INCIDENTS?
Many staff at schools are educators and administrators that have been provided minimal training in emergency management.
A question was asked at a recent seminar how many educators were trained in emergency management in their schooling to become an educator. Out of about 55 people in the room, 3 raised their hands. The rest have obtained small training that only covers very basic material in an hour. ​
Our Firm will provide the training and plans for your school/district to better respond and maintain consistent opportunities to keep campuses ready to respond.
