Emergency Response Incident
Command System Training
Jordan School District
Law Enforcement
Fire
Schools
Because the potential for a school
emergency exists, school staff
and faculty must be prepared
to manage the incident.
Critical Elements of an Effective
Management System
•
•
•
•
•
“All Risk”
Plan of Action
Predesignated Roles and Responsibilities
Simple
Proven Effectiveness
Incident Command System
Benefits
• Common terminology
• Predetermines who is
in charge of the
overall incident and
defines key functions
• Pre-established line of
communication
• Common approach to
incident mitigation
• Forms a unified
command
The Advantage of ICS in Schools
• During an incident, school emergency plans
will mirror those of emergency responders.
• The ICS action plans will ensure a logical
approach based on the prioritization of
objectives.
• The ICS will incorporate and enhance the
current emergency response plan.
• The ICS unifies emergency responders and
school staff and faculty into one planning
and mitigation team!
This is how the accountability
system works…

Ultra Violence at

“After Action Report”
Captain Don Lee
• “The need for a standard emergency management
system, and the fact that all agencies (fire, law
enforcement, schools, and hospitals) adopt it.”
• “The need to develop an all-risk “incident action
plan” for response to acts of ultra-violence.”
• “Standard operating procedures for school
officials should be established for different crisis
incident types.”
Captain Don Lee
“We waited to see what the
teacher did after the earthquake,
but he didn’t know what to do.
He kept saying, ‘Don’t worry
don’t worry, stay calm, stay
calm,’ but it was scary.”

preparedness at JSD schools requires
everyone to know and practice:
Responsibilities
• the incident…Objectives
• his/her ….…. Actions
• her/his …....
• the needed …
Documentation
Checklist for Emergency
Preparedness
• Use the checklist as a guide

replace and replenish
• Use the checklist to set goals for improving
and adding to what you already have
• Use the checklist to inform parents about
what you are doing to keep kids safe
Accountability for Success
1. Must have a local Safe Schools Committee
2. Must submit Safe Schools/Risk Management
(SS/RM) Quarterly Reports
3. Must include local emergency responders
4. Must have a parent pick up and release plan and
secondary site identified
5. Must implement the ICS
6. Must utilize the Safe Schools Brochure and
promote the District Web site
Role Play ICS
