2025 Region 10 - Safety 1st Conference

Sandy Hook Promise is a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth and adults to prevent violence in schools, homes, and communities. Through our evidence-informed Know the Signs prevention programs, students learn to recognize warning signs, intervene, and get help for those who may be socially isolated or at risk of self-harm or violence. Join us to discover how your school or district can take part in fostering a culture and community of upstanders.

Preparing for, and ultimately limiting the number of casualties during a critical incident is the driving purpose of Emergency Operations Management.  Our districts have created specific Annexes and Appendices within our MEOPs to address these concerns.
This presentation looks beyond the printed word and examines how relevant our training practices are, and how realistic are the expectations.  Staff serving as Immediate Responders as they await the arrival of emergency services must have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities.  Unless trained to be “the police” there should be no expectation that they perform as such.  This discussion will serve to clear any blurred lines and ensure training is being well documented and effectively delivered.
