Ohio schools must have a comprehensive school emergency management plan that addresses their response not only to severe weather and natural disasters, chemical accidents and medical emergencies, but also to school violence and various types of terrorist threats.
This model plan (the Plan), when used in conjunction with the Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans (the Guide) includes comprehensive information and descriptions of the overall concept of operations, organization, roles and responsibilities, along with checklists, to guide schools and school personnel in addressing various emergency hazards that may affect the safety of our children and school community.
