Schools give children more than an academic education by providing consistent routine, social support, life skills, and even meals. Therefore, disruptions have the potential to be distressing for students and educators alike. The Red Cross can help your school and community prepare for disasters and emergencies.
Is your school prepared for emergency? This free, self-paced membership program begins with a self-assessment of your level of preparedness to reveal areas for improvement and helps you track your school’s progress in increasing your preparedness through a customized, OSHA-compliant Emergency Action Plan. You'll also gain access to a Resource Center with additional tools to prepare your school.
In an emergency, your faculty and staff may be called upon to help ill or injured students. Are they equipped with the skills and confidence they’ll need? As the leading provider of OSHA-compliant health and safety training, the Red Cross can help your team prepare for a crisis.
