10 hours

Planning for emergencies, drills, and extraordinary emergency situations associated with hazards, biological disasters, natural disasters, technological emergencies and the like. It is all about effective preparation, putting systems in place, safety, and consistent pre-emergency operations. Facilitating coordination with local first responders to effectively mobilize all available resources are the high priority think-throughs for setting up school safety. Participants will brainstorm, look at a variety of examples, vet resources, and develop plans.

Course Outcomes:

  • Develop working knowledge of procedures.
  • Evaluate needs for training gaps.
  • Design systems that align to necessary procedures and needed training to close identified training gaps.
  • Give and receive feedback on plans to refine them into final products for a finished School Safety Plan, or a plan ready to bring to the School Safety Committee for final revisions.
