Emergency Preparedness During 30th America's Safe Schools Week

The consideration of emergency preparedness planning and appropriate emergency supplies in every classroom fully leverages the safe schools concept.



Having emergency supplies in every classroom provides school administrators and parents the confidence to know they can safely care for students during any emergency situation.

    SACRAMENTO, CA, October 15, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The National School Safety Center established America's Safe Schools Week back in 1984 to recognize the exemplary school, district, state and national programs designed to ensure our nation's schools are safe.

While most schools have existing safety programs, they also require comprehensive emergency preparedness plans. The need to consider all potential regional weather events, acts of terrorism and critical infrastructure failures provides the thought leadership necessary to fully promote safe schools. "Having emergency supplies in every classroom provides school administrators and parents the confidence to know they can safely care for students during any emergency situation" said GetReadyGEAR president Jim Serre.

"Disasters are beyond our control, when they strike, where they strike, however; Safe Schools Week is a reminder being ready is in our control. When school administrators engage in comprehensive emergency planning, they save lives," said Lighthouse School Safety president Dr. Cathy Anthofer.
