In a natural or
man-made disaster, events occur that necessitate the
coordination and delivery of crisis intervention and
response services. And with a mobile society, the
need for standardization of these plans throughout
the state is imperative.
The
Emergency Management Guide provided here,
developed through a grant from the Federal Safe and
Drug Free Schools Program, is not intended to be a
stand-alone document; the training component is
critical to understand the rationale behind the
development of the strategies and process. Please
contact KCSS for information about training
opportunities.
Different from the Safe Schools Plan required by
law, Crisis Response Plans detail protocol beginning
with preparedness through fact-gathering, systematic
risk assessment, team building, communication and
training, and include response and recovery
segments, which hopefully may never see the need to
be used. It provides a research-based foundation for
the protocol and emergency management procedures
necessary in the event of any crisis and, through
training, creates an atmosphere of calm in what may
otherwise be chaos.
Some districts/schools may prefer to work with a
single electronic document. Please note that this
complete document contains section breaks and other
formatting to facilitate pagination, which begins
anew with each section. The Emergency Management
Guide and all its components are formatted in Adobe
Acrobat/Acrobat Reader. Click the link below to
download the Emergency Management Guide in its
entirety.
The Emergency Management Guide has been developed
with federal Safe and Drug Free Schools and
Communities Act funds, and may be reproduced for
individual school and district use. the guide may
not be reproduced in any form for sale or
unauthorized distribution.
