Building a Disaster-Resilient K-12 School District, College, or University
In the last decade, disasters have affected schools all across the country with high frequency. They sometimes cause death and injury and always impose monetary losses and disruption of the institution’s teaching, research and public service. The damage caused to buildings and infrastructure and interruption to the institutional mission result in significant losses. These losses can be measured by faculty and student departures, decreases in research funding, and increases in insurance premiums.
Tactron has teamed up with Schoenfeldt and Associates, www.safer-schools.com, a leader in school emergency scene management and incident prevention for over 20 years, to offer a simple and cost effective tool for any district. Designed for K-12 public and private schools, the Suddenly In Command™, “Grab and Go” kit provides expert guidance and direction during the crucial first phase of any school crisis and through recovery. The kit is based on the nationally adopted IS-100.SCa program developed by the Emergency Management Institute in collaboration with the Department of Education.
Suddenly In Command™ kit is a portable, lightweight and complete resource that is a must for every school.
