School Safety Plans

DSSC works to ensure each school has a safety plan that contains hazard-specific annexes including active assailant and natural hazards. DSSC staff offer technical assistance and support to school administrators ensuring annual plan updates fully reflect the scope of hazards and events for which schools should be prepared.

In addition to planning support, DSSC offers regular training on all aspects of emergency management as it pertains to school safety including preparation, preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery.

They also offer trainings to include active assailant, mental health components or aspects, family reunification, severe weather response, and more. In addition, DSSC supports a wide range of exercise options to include templates for drills and tabletops, as well as after action reports. Finally, the DSSC team conducts and provides technical assistance for physical building infrastructure assessments to ensure schools are properly identifying and mitigating against vulnerabilities.
