Course Description:
This course provides school staff with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to prepare for school emergencies before, during and after a school emergency. School staff will have an opportunity to improve school emergency preparedness efforts by providing them with the preparedness skills necessary to strengthen both school and classroom-level prevention, mitigation, protection, response, and recovery capabilities. Through this course, participants will learn how to leverage existing relationships and build new working relationships in order to develop, review, enhance, and sustain an all-hazards school Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The plan should include a community-based approach and strategies to prevent, respond to, and recover from emergencies. Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate (through discussion, activities, and a final exam) the preparedness skills necessary to strengthen both school and classroom-level prevention, mitigation, protection, response, and recovery capabilities.

• Describe the basic knowledge, skills, and tools needed to strengthen school and classroom-level emergency preparedness through prevention, mitigation, protection, response, and recovery actions.
