  Re-evaluating after a crisis
 
WHAT WORKED? WHAT DIDN’T?
 
 
Evaluate each crisis response with a report to the superintendent and a plan for follow-up. Did you:
  • Notify the appropriate people at the onset?

  • Activate resources immediately to meet the needs of the students, families and staff?

  • Provide regular information updates and maintain open communication with teachers, other staff and parents?

  • Monitor rumors and maintain timely, accurate information?

  • Speak through one spokesperson to provide factual information to the media?

  • Develop media messages that communicated ways for parents to support the recovery of their children?

  • Provide mental health resources for those in emotional distress and identify and follow up with vulnerable students and staff during the recovery period?

  • Identify during the aftermath any cues that could be traumatic reminders of the crisis and monitor behaviors among students and staff?
