Crisis Response
Introduction
A crisis is a time to actually follow the crisis plan and not a time to make a plan from scratch. This module will take a look at some of the major recommendations about things to remember when you are called upon to implement your crisis plan.
Element of Surprise
Regardless of how much time and energy you put forth to create the crisis plan, there is always an element of surprise and accompanying confusion when a school deals with a crisis.
Following the plan requires a very quick, but careful, assessment of the situation. Decide if a crisis really does exist and, if so, the type of crisis, location, and the magnitude. Since the team has already practiced the plan, leaders are aware and ready to make the right decisions when a crisis occurs.
