FY 2007 Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools
The
U.S. Department of Education is making approximately
$24,000,000 available to Local Education Associations
(LEAs)
to strengthen and improve their emergency response and
crisis plans, at the district and school-building level.
- Grantees are required to address all four
phases of crisis planning:
- Prevention / Mitigation
- Preparedness
- Response
- Recovery
- In addition, as they review and revise school
crisis plans, LEAs are required to form partnerships
and collaborate
with:
- Community organizations
- Local law enforcement agencies
- Heads of local governments
- Offices of public safety, health, and mental
health
Plans must be coordinated with state or local homeland
security plans and support implementation of the National
Incident Management System (NIMS).
- Grant funds may be used for the following
activities:
- Training school safety teams and students
- Conducting building and facilities audits
- Communicating emergency response policies to
parents and guardians
- Implementing an Incident Command System (ICS)
- Purchasing school safety equipment (to a limited
extent)
- Conducting drills and tabletop simulation exercises
- Preparing and distributing copies of crisis
plans
