Emergency Preparedness for Schools

Kids Corner Check out these fun websites to help your kids be prepared!

Disasters can occur anywhere at any time. As a community we must be prepared to respond in the worst types of disasters…those that affect our children. Being personally prepared and having a family plan are two important pieces to this process. However, schools have a tremendous responsibility to provide security for our children, and to prepare for disasters that may impact their property and the precious children that may occupy it.
