First Published in 1998. The development of disaster planning in schools and colleges usually goes hand in hand with an element of safety planning: the actual process of planning for disaster itself suggests improvements in procedures which ensure a greater level of safety. Preventive measures are devised which make the likelihood of tragedies and accidents befalling an institution a little less likely. This training manual aims to help schools and colleges examine and enhance their own procedures for keeping pupils, students and staff safe and to assist in the development of disaster plans to help them to cope better in times of crisis. Until fairly recently no school had such a thing as a disaster plan or a safety and disaster plan. With increased awareness of tragedies and accidents that can occur, more focused health and safety legislation and, one has to say, the greater likelihood of litigation, schools are urgently turning their attention to such matters

There are over 4,000 two-and four-year public and private institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the United States totaling over 15 million students and several million staff, faculty, and visitors (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Digest of Education Statistics, 2006). Each of these institutions has a commitment to ensure the safety and general welfare of those on their campuses and to provide appropriate policies, procedures, and strategies to maintain a safe campus. Because of recent violent crimes, natural disasters, and other emergencies or crises, colleges and universities are convening committees and task forces to reexamine or conduct a comprehensive review of policies, procedures, and systems related to campus safety and security. As with many critical areas on the agendas of administrators, campus safety requires building support and conducting a thorough and systematic process to produce a quality plan to prepare for and manage emergencies on campus. IHEs have many challenges in practicing emergency management that are related to the distinctive structure and environment of higher education. College and university campuses often cover large geographic areas, and sometimes even resemble small towns with the full extent of services in their vicinity (i.e., medical centers, sports complexes, residential centers, businesses). The campus population changes from day to day, semester to semester, and year to year. Many IHEs operate complex enterprises in addition to their academic programs. Hospitals, research and development facilities, performing arts venues, athletic complexes, agriculture centers, residential complexes, food services, and transportation systems all present a unique set of circumstances that must be considered when designing emergency management plans. These structural and environmental characteristics pose challenges for access control, monitoring movements, defining boundaries for facilities and grounds, standardizing procedures and decision-making processes, and prioritizing resource allocations. IHE governance is also highly varied, complex, and often widely dispersed. Decentralized organizational structures and academic departments may be located in different buildings and have differing decision-making methods. The nature of higher education institutions, with faculty involvement in the governance process, is much different than the hierarchical structure of corporate entities or governmental agencies. Decision-making in such an environment can be slow, and hinder campus response to a crisis. The need for clear lines of authority and decision-making are all the more important at IHEs. Responsibility for developing, testing, and implementing an emergency management plan should be shared and communicated across all departments and functions. This Action Guide for Emergency Management at Higher Education Institutions has been developed to give higher education institutions a useful resource in the field of emergency management. It is intended for community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, graduate schools, and research institutions associated with higher education entities, both public and private. This action guide may be used in a variety of ways: As a starting point in researching the topic of emergency management for those needing an overview of the subject; As a resource for an initiative to develop and implement an emergency management plan at a higher education institution; or As a reference and resource for colleges and universities looking to evaluate their emergency management programs to identify potential areas needing enhancement.

There are a number of challenges which schools face in trying to ensure the safety of their pupils, including the risks of accidents, bullying, vandalism and violence; and in some countries the range of incidents is increasing. This publication contains papers presented at an international conference on school safety and security, held in February 2002 and jointly organised by the OECD and the U.S, Department of Education. The papers are organised under five key themes: risk assessment; crisis planning and management; infrastructure issues relating to building design and security measures; collaborative approaches; education, training and support.
