This Emergency Management Resource Guide template is designed to assist schools and districts in the creation and use of custom-made Emergency Response Plans. This template addresses the four phases of emergency management and is organized around these four distinct planning venues, they are:

  1. Mitigation/Prevention
  2. Preparedness
  3. Response
  4. Recovery

This planning protocol allows the school district and individual schools to customize their plans to address the unique needs of their specific location.

This joint statement provides a framework supported by educators for improving school safety and increasing access to mental health supports for children and youth. Efforts to improve school climate, safety, and learning are not separate endeavors. They must be designed, funded, and implemented as a comprehensive school-wide approach that facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration and builds on a multitiered system of supports. We caution against seemingly quick and potentially harmful solutions, such as arming school personnel, and urge policy leaders to support the following guidance to enact policies that will equip America’s schools to educate and safeguard our children over the long term.
