Our Approach to Managing Emergencies: Incident Command Team
-
No matter what the hazard might be, from fires, floods, threats of violence to public health emergencies- we take a comprehensive approach to student safety that we’d like to walk you through to give you some reassurance that we are continuously keeping student and staff safety at the top of our minds as we move through each day. We follow the National Incident Management System (NIMS) structure and approach to emergency management and hazard mitigation as we continuously work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from incidents. See page 8 of the District’s Spring 2019 edition of Showcase Magazine for a feature article to learn more about these roles and the dedicated people performing these duties in additional to their regular positions.

COVID-19 Response Planning Subcommittees
To manage the long-term and unique aspects presented by the COVID-19 public health emergency, three sub-committees of the Incident Command Team were formed. Each of these three subcommittees has played an important an ongoing role in researching possible strategies, surveying stakeholders and developing the details of the District’s response within their specified scope. Their work is represented in the District’s Return to Learn Plan.
