CRISIS RESPONSE PLANS
The 'PARATUS METHOD OF RESPONSE PLANNING' is derived from the Department of Education’s Practical Information on Crisis Planning, and ensures a compliant plan for school officials as well as one that is easy to understand. We also incorporate key principles from the Dept of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency that takes into account:
-
Effective crisis planning begins with top-level leadership to help set the policy agenda, secure funds and bring people from different agencies together.
-
Crisis plans can’t be developed in a vacuum.
-
Schools and districts should begin communicating and building relationships well before a crisis occurs.
-
Plans should be developed with community groups including law enforcement, fire safety officials, emergency medical services and mental health professionals.
-
Establish a clear and common vocabulary.
-
We tailor plans at the district level to each school’s needs.
-
We plan for the diverse needs of students and employees.
-
We then ensure teachers and staff have ready access to the plan.
-
Our specialty at PARATUS SECURITY GROUP is to Train and Drill to the plan, and then adjust as needed.
Planning for a crisis can take significant time and resources, but it’s necessary to ensure a quick and effective response.
