Marin Schools Model Emergency Management Plan The MARIN SCHOOLS MODEL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN is a comprehensive reference, updated to reflect the broader range of hazards and threats that school campuses must now be prepared to face. The Model Plan was developed by the Marin County Office of Education as a tool to assist in the planning and implementation of effective school emergency preparedness programs. The Model Emergency Management Plan provides a framework for protecting students, staff and school facilities and describes the roles and responsibilities of staff members in a variety of emergency situations. Schools are encouraged to download the Model Plan and adapt it for individual site needs. The buttons at the left provide direct links to individual sections of the Model Plan.

WHAT'S NEW: The updated Model Emergency Management Plan is organized in four main sections which conform to the four phases of emergency management used by the U.S. Department of education Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools to describe planning for, responding to and recovering from emergencies: MITIGATION/PREVENTION includes new sections on conducting a school hazards assessment, visitor screening policy and violence prevention strategies. PREPAREDNESS contains an expanded section about communications for dealing with rumors, parents and the media, accomodating special needs populations and implementing drills and tabletop exercises. RESPONSE has been expanded to include more than 40 emergency scenarios, with checklists of steps to be taken by the school administrator and staff. RECOVERY is a new section that describes what government assistance is available, the effects of post trauatic stress on students and staff, how to document outcomes and long-term follow-up and evaluation. The APPENDICES include supplemental tools such as cross-jurisdictional agreement templates, checklists, forms, sample letters and emergency supply lists. The forms are designed to assist schools in assigning staff duties and managing the emergency. The EMERGENCY ACTION FLIPCHART is drawn from the Response section of the Model Emergency Management Plan. The Emergency Actions Flipchart serves as a quick reference guide to assist staff in finding information immediately during an emergency. Schools are encouraged to download, print and post the Emergency Actions Flipchart in every classroom.
