School Safety
Through the federal Grants to States for Emergency Management (GSEM) Grant Program, Clackamas ESD provides safety training and consultation to our 10 partner school districts, as well as other districts throughout northwest Oregon. We provide a range of services in this area, including assistance in updating communicable disease management plans.
We help schools plan for potential emergencies by offering:
- Training on the recommended six-step planning process to create or enhance a high-quality school Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs)
- Training on how to activate EOPs using the Incident Command System
- Technical assistance in developing and implementing their plans such as writing Memorandas of Understanding (MOUs)
- Support in conducting exercises
- Access to resources through the Student Success Act (SSA) to make EOPs actionable
More resources are available on the Oregon School Safety and Emergency Management (SSEM) website.
