School emergency management can be addressed through the development of a school emergency operations plan (EOP) that addresses the school safety continuum, including safety, security, emergency management, and preparedness. Planners will address hazards and threats (e.g., wildfire and criminal activity), emergency management functions (cross-cutting activities that may be needed after incidents caused by a variety of threats or hazards, such as accounting for all persons and recovery), and planning basics and principles (e.g., follows a collaborative process; provides for the needs of people with disabilities or access and functional needs). This fact sheet focuses on how schools, school districts, and Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) can address the hazard of wildfires and provides additional considerations for related emergency management functions and planning basics and principles, all of which aim to keep the school community safe.
