Written in accordance with the President's 2003 homeland security
directive and the Department of Education's guidelines, and in
response to the ever-present threats facing our school systems,
this book helps schools and institutions develop a comprehensive
emergency response plan. This book outlines programs and procedures
that can be applied to any school system to address hazard
mitigation and prevention, emergency preparedness and response, and
recovery and restoration of school functions to an effective
learning environment. It describes specific actions and assigns
responsibilities and response roles to district and individual
school staff emergency teams, cooperating agencies, and community
response partners that have agreed to share responsibilities and
resources as defined in this plan. This book also outlines, in the
event of an emergency involving response by fire and/or law
enforcement, the district/school site personnel who should
establish an Incident Command System-based response organization in
accordance with procedures outlined in the National Incident
Management System. In addition, the authors predetermine, to the
extent possible, operational procedures across any U.S. school
system and cooperating governmental, private, and volunteer
agencies for responding to and recovering from any and all types of
natural, human, or technology-based emergencies that may occur
within school system operations or outside the jurisdiction of the
school system but nonetheless cause/could cause collateral impact
to school system operations. Contents examine emergency
notification and immediate actions; concept of operations,
including first key actions, partnering with community agencies,
and the initial briefing; crisis management team action checklists;
response resources, including personnel, response team partners,
emergency evacuation/receiving facilities, and emergency equipment
and supplies; emergency response flip charts for principals,
teachers, secretaries, and custodians; district incident-specific
response protocols, covering 29 scenarios from accidents to weapons
situations; and general response procedures for clean up,
communications, cost accounting, tracking students and personnel.
Appendices include training and exercises, forms, sample
communications and letters, examples of status boards, and a
stakeholder management plan.
