The Ohio School Safety Center will be joining REMS TA Center to offer the new Developing Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) K-12 101 Virtual Training by Request created in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Safe and Supportive Schools. This 2.5-hour training presents important federal guidance on school emergency management planning.
Training Description
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. In June 2013, the Obama Administration released the Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans (School Guide) which provides an overview of Federal guidance on school emergency management planning.
In collaboration with their local government and community partners, schools can take steps to plan for these potential emergencies through the creation of a high-quality school EOP. An expert team will provide an overview of the recommended six-step planning process to create a high-quality school EOP, which includes the following:
- Step 1: Forming a Collaborative Planning Team
- Step 2: Understanding the Situation
- Step 3: Determining Goals and Objectives
- Step 4: Plan Development
- Step 5: Plan Preparation, Review, and Approval
- Step 6: Plan Implementation and Maintenance
Pre- and -post training activities will provide guidance on how this training is relevant to emergency operations planning and assist with the implementation of what is learned.
Who Should Attend?
The intended audiences for this training includes, but is not limited to: those interested in creating, revising, or enhancing school EOPs; school staff who serve, or will serve, on their school or school district’s EOP planning team; and other interested community stakeholders, including first responders, emergency medical services personnel, law enforcement, and others.
