Crisis Preparedness in Schools

Recent news stories by CNN and MSNBC state that Al Qaida has began probing schools, especially school buses in the United States. This poses special concerns for parents, educators and school adminstrators.

Did you know that over 74 Million Americans are in schools on any given day. So why are American schools still lacking in procedures and training in dealing with acts of terrorism against their students.

After September 11, 2001 and the War on Terror began the Central Intelligence Agency recovered Al-Qaida training videotapes that showed terrorists planning and training to attack "Soft Targets". These "Soft Targets" included schools, day care centers, offices and residences. Don't be caught unprepared. This Crisis Preparedness in Schools goes beyond the worries since September 11. It also addresses issues of threat assessment, crime prevention through environmental design, security procedures, bus safety and security, transportation concerns, field trip issues, active shooter situation, disruptive parents and sex offender concerns.

This program is designed for schools and businesses to train their crisis teams and emergency response personnel to plan for and be prepared for a catastrophic act of terrorism.
