Develop a Tool for the Evaluation of the Safety Plan:

Steps

• In developing the Safety Plan Evaluation, a check list is suggested to simplify the evaluation. Included in the list could be items such as the following: Did the established chain of command work smoothly?
• Did all persons in the leadership positions understand the expectations?
• Were the appropriate assistance personnel called in a timely fashion?
• Did the appropriate assistance personnel arrive at the school setting in a timely fashion?
• Was the school or school area evacuated in a safe and orderly manner?
  Were handicapped individuals given the assistance they required for the safe and calm evacuation of their areas?
• Were district level administrators involved throughout the crisis situation?
• If areas of need became apparent during the evaluation, have steps been taken to address the needs?
• Was the debriefing process completed to meet the needs of the crisis participants?
