As I speak there's heavy flooding in the northern parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In the past year, many schools have experienced catastrophic damage. Here, from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, are some resources for educators:
A way to think about your school's level of preparedness is to measure what you have done to address the 3R's of School Crises and Disasters.
Readiness: Readiness is the level at which a school is prepared to respond to a crisis or to an emergency if the crisis or disaster were to happen today.
Response: Response is the sum total of the school's resources and skills to take decisive and effective action when a crisis situation has occurred.
Recovery: Recovery is the process of restoring the social and emotional equilibrium of the school community.
The tabs at the top of this page lead to extensive materials in each of the 3R's.
