Crisis and Emergency Response Protocol

Overview

Crisis and emergency response protocols are built around the physical and psychological best practices for anyone who communicates on behalf of a school in response to a public health emergency. Emergencies can affect a community in a number of ways from natural disasters, to lockdowns, or a death of a student or faculty member.
