Emergency communications: Are you ready for the unexpected?
Thursday, April 16, 2-3 pm ET • Registration is FREE
The safety and security of students and faculty are the highest priorities for school administrators, yet emergency communications plans at many districts may be incomplete or outdated.
Join Web Seminar Editor J.D. Solomon and our panel of safety and security experts to learn what goes into a best-practice emergency preparedness and communication plan. Our panelists will provide answers to questions like these:
• What are the elements of good emergency planning?
• What tools and tactics should you use to communicate during emergencies?
• What typically causes communications to break down in emergencies?
• What are the common areas that need improvement in many districts’ emergency plans?
• What role should school resource officers have in emergency preparedness?
• What steps can be taken every day to handle unexpected situations?
Who will benefit: Superintendents; school safety and security officers; business officers; school board members and other district stakeholders and school-based administrators who are concerned about safety, security and emergency planning.

Willie Freeman, Director of Security for the Newark, N.J., school district, and a frequent presenter at security seminars offered by the U.S. Department of Education.
Richard Caster, Executive Director of the National Association of School Resource Officers.
Kathryn Larrin, Associate Director of the Office of Education, Workforce and Income Security at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, and co-author of the GAO report, “Emergency Management: Status of School Districts’ Planning and Preparedness.”
