Emergency Evacuation

Emergency preparedness is critical for all students, staff and visitors at your school, but even more so for individuals who require assistance during an evacuation.  There are a significant number of considerations for the evacuation process which must be planned in advance in order to be effectively implemented in the midst of an emergency situation.  These planning documents can assist your school in developing integrated written emergency evacuation planning and procedures for the people who need it most.
