Recovery is one of the five National Preparedness System mission areas and is a critical component of an education agency's preparedness. In the context of school emergency management planning, recovery refers to the capabilities necessary to assist schools affected by an event or emergency in restoring the learning environment. Recovery is also one of the most complex emergency management functions. There are four types of recovery: academics recovery; business services recovery; physical and structural recovery; and health, social, emotional, and behavioral recovery. There are also three main time frames of recovery--immediate, short-term, and long-term. Health, social, emotional, and behavioral recovery is typically the longest-lasting type of recovery; it involves supporting the whole school community with coping and healing after an emergency incident, which often requires considerable time and resources. This is especially true when an emergency incident results in the death of a student or staff member. While this scenario may be difficult to imagine, schools can take proactive steps to prepare for such a situation by developing a Recovery Annex that considers bereavement, memorial, and anniversary activities within its focus on health, social, emotional, and behavioral recovery. This fact sheet offers information for core planning team members and safety leaders at K-12 schools and school districts on elements to include in the Recovery Annex that address and prepare the education agency for the loss of a member of the school community.
