Description
How a school plans for and responds to a crisis can be crucial to determining the outcome of that situation. Knowing what to do and how to respond can help faculty and staff react consistently, quickly, and with the least amount of confusion and panic — all of which affords the greatest chance for a positive outcome. In part one of this two-part series, join Brent Maguire as he provides examples of different crises responses depending on the type of threat, such as for an intruder/trespasser or an active shooter. In addition, he will suggest procedures for dealing with the media during a crisis and after it has been resolved. You will also learn about recovery measures that can be taken, as well as the importance of doing a crisis debriefing.
