In recent years, the ability of K-12 school districts to mitigate, prepare, protect, respond, and recover from emergencies has gained national attention as a wide variety of manmade and non-manmade disasters have impacted school systems in the United States. An increased emphasis has been placed on how schools can take steps to plan for a multitude of emergencies through planning in conjunction with community partners. Creating safe school environments is a complex task that involves a community approach. The purpose of this study was to examine best practices of community partnerships that enhance K-12 school emergency management in Wisconsin. Specifically, the purpose was to examine the themes that are thought to be present among successful school and community partnerships that focus on school safety. School district leadership that is willing to place a high priority on effective emergency management planning will research best practices of community partnerships that enhance overall school safety. Data was collected using a Sequential Explanatory Mixed Methods approach. The quantitative portion of this study was conducted by administering a survey to the Wisconsin School Safety Coordinators Association (WSSCA) in order to determine best practices as it relates to working with community partners in the state. The qualitative portion of the study used a confirmatory focus group consisting of emergency management experts to confirm the results of the WSSCA survey. The results of the study led to the conclusion that school and community partnerships focused on effective emergency management planning would benefit by implementing practices that include a high degree of partnership involvement, decision-making outcomes, relationship role clarity and perceived effectiveness. Additionally, school districts and community agencies need to be willing to have top leaders serve as part of the community partnership. Commitment of top leadership from the different organizations represented in the school and community partnership is paramount to the success of these partnerships as they prepare, respond, and recovery from emergency situations.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each school day, our nation's schools are entrusted to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for approximately 55 million elementary and secondary school students in public and nonpublic schools. Families and communities expect schools to keep their children and youths safe from threats (human-caused emergencies such as crime and violence) and hazards (natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and accidents). In collaboration with their local government and community partners, schools can take steps to plan for these potential emergencies through the creation of a school Emergency Operations Plan (school EOP). Lessons learned from school emergencies highlight the importance of preparing school officials and first responders to implement emergency operations plans. By having plans in place to keep students and staff safe, schools play a key role in taking preventative and protective measures to stop an emergency from occurring or reduce the impact of an incident. Although schools are not traditional response organizations, when a school-based emergency occurs, school personnel respond immediately. They provide first aid, notify response partners, and provide instructions before first responders arrive. They also work with their community partners, i.e., governmental organizations that have a responsibility in the school emergency operations plan to provide a cohesive, coordinated response. Community partners include first responders (law enforcement officers, fire officials, and emergency medical services personnel) as well as public and mental health entities. We recommend that planning teams responsible for developing and revising school EOPs use this document to guide their efforts. It is recommended that districts and individual schools compare existing plans and processes against the content and processes outlined in this guide. To gain the most from it, users should read through the entire document prior to initiating their planning efforts and then refer back to it throughout the planning process. The guide is organized in four sections: 1. The principles of school emergency management planning; 2. A process for developing, implementing, and continually refining a school EOP with community partners (e.g., first responders and emergency management personnel) at the school building level; 3. A discussion of the form, function, and content of school EOPs; 4."A Closer Look," which considers key topics that support school emergency planning, including addressing an active shooter, school climate, psychological first aid, and information-sharing. This guide replaces "Practical Information on Crisis Planning: A Guide for Schools and Communities" (January 2007), which is rescinded.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lessons Learned" is a series of publications that are a brief recounting of actual school emergencies and crises. This issue of "Lessons Learned" addresses after-action reports, which are an integral part of the emergency preparedness planning continuum and support effective crisis response. After-action reports have a threefold purpose. They provide an opportunity for everyone involved in an exercise to: (1) identify areas in the current emergency management plan that are in need of improvement; (2) make recommendations to improve it; and (3) capture key lessons learned. This issue describes five lessons that should be included in emergency management plans: (1) Coordinate and test emergency response capacity in collaboration with community partners by activating the Incident Command System (ICS); (2) Assess response time and quality of response; (3) Examine the effectiveness of communications plans with community partners, school staff, students, parents and guardians and the public; (4) Identify training needed by first responders, crisis response team members, school staff and students; and (5) Incorporate lessons learned from after-action reports into emergency management plans. The lessons learned can be used to proactively develop and enhance emergency management plans and procedures that will ensure the safety of the entire school community.

Book excerpt: The 2012 school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut and the 2013 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma stress the need for schools to prepare for emergencies to help protect the 50 million students in K-12 public schools. In 2007, GAO found that most districts developed emergency operations plans and GAO made recommendations to improve school emergency planning. In 2013, the President directed Education, DHS, HHS, and Justice to help schools with their plans. GAO was asked to report on these efforts. This report examines (1) how federal agencies support school emergency management planning and the extent to which they coordinate efforts; (2) the extent to which states require and support efforts to plan for school emergencies; and (3) what districts have done to plan and prepare for school emergencies and challenges faced. GAO interviewed federal officials and surveyed relevant state agencies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. GAO also surveyed a generalizable random sample of 573 districts (70 percent response rate), and visited 5 districts and 12 schools in 3 states selected to reflect diverse locations and characteristics.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidelines on developing emergency operations plans (EOP). It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a hazard or threat and produce integrated, coordinated, and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to make the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas. This Guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable all-hazards, all-threats EOPs. Accomplished properly, planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole community in thinking through the life cycle of a potential crisis, determining required capabilities, and establishing a framework for roles and responsibilities. It shapes how a community envisions and shares a desired outcome, selects effective ways to achieve it, and communicates expected results. Each jurisdiction's plans must reflect what that community will do to address its specific risks with the unique resources it has or can obtain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Helpful Hints" offers a quick overview of school emergency preparedness topics that are frequently the subject of inquiries. The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools strongly encourages schools and school districts to develop emergency management plans within the context of the four phases of emergency management: prevention-mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. In addition, schools should collaborate closely with police, fire and emergency services personnel and community partners (e.g., public and mental health professionals) who can assist with the development of plans that address a wide range of crises. This issue of "Helpful Hints" suggests ten steps that will help to guide schools and school districts in developing comprehensive, multihazard emergency management plans. These steps are: (1) align planning and procedures with federal, state and local efforts; (2) conduct assessments; (3) establish and institutionalize the Incident Command System (ICS); (4) develop policies and protocols; (5) establish communication plans; (6) create a student-parent-reunification plan; (7) stock emergency go-kits and supplies; (8) provide training to faculty and staff; (9) design and conduct functional emergency exercises; and (10) publish and disseminate the plan.
