Site Safety Security Asessment

Effective school planning depends on a consistent analysis and comparison of the threats and hazards a particular school faces. The process of conducting a school site safety security assessment creates opportunities to reduce or eliminate potential hazards and develop recommendations for improvement.

The Site Safety Security Assessment training provides awareness resources and preparedness training to enhance organizational capacity to conduct multidisciplinary site assessments. This training develops an options-based, multi-hazard, multi-disciplinary approach for addressing the safety, accessibility, and emergency preparedness of the school's buildings and grounds, as well as the surrounding community.
