  Plans for recovery
 
 
  Another major component of the emergency preparedness and crisis response plan is to identify ways to help students and staff heal after a crisis and return to learning.

The plan should identify how to:

  • Provide support and counseling for students and staff to facilitate individual and collective grieving.

  • Decide whether to suspend regular instruction to discuss the disaster.

  • Line up extra substitute teachers to be on call.

  • Provide additional resources to teachers who will be dealing with troubled students in need of extra attention.

  • Plan for the first day back at school. Click here for information.
