Abstract

Emergency management professionals at the local, state, and federal levels of government have been augmented through the use of nonprofit organizations, private organizations, and organized and unorganized volunteers to assist with planning, response, and recovery efforts in preparation for resolving school violence and related emergencies. The first responder, which includes police, fire, EMS, and public health professionals, is America's first line of defense during emergency events, and have become a critical component when responding to school emergency situations. This chapter explores developing strategic response and actions plans for school emergencies.
