Triage Injuries
Remember to triage injuries and give emergency first aid to those who need it during the crisis. The plan should assign emergency medical services (EMS) personnel and school staff with relevant qualifications to determine who needs first aid. Find a location for EMS to treat the seriously injured on the scene, if necessary.
Remember to keep your supplies nearby and organized at all times. If you have to move to another location for safety reasons, remember to take the supplies with you. Monitor how many supplies you have and make sure to replace them as needed.
Trust Leadership
Trust the internal crisis team members, as well as the external emergency responders who have been trained to deal with a crisis. When you trust them, it will help calm the situation and minimize the chaos that can happen during a crisis.
During a crisis, leaders must portray a calm, confident, and serious demeanor to assure people the seriousness of the situation and their wisdom of the directions given at the time. This leadership style will help everyone involved to respond in a calm and confident manner as well.
