The Emergency Management Unit develops and maintains the District’s comprehensive emergency preparedness program intended to reduce vulnerability to hazards, enable schools to handle significant emergencies and disasters, and help create safe and secure learning environments for staff and students.

Our collective efforts include coordinating and integrating activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the capability of the comprehensive emergency preparedness program to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, technological or man-made emergencies or disasters.
