GKC supports schools throughout the complete preparedness lifecycle — from assessment through response and recovery.
School safety is not a single program or document. It requires the integration of people, plans, facilities, communications, leadership, training, exercises, response, and recovery into a cohesive, living preparedness system.
Safety assessments, threat identification, EOP gap analysis, physical security review, and vulnerability mitigation planning.
Emergency Operations Plan development, SERT building, staff training, parent communication planning, and exercise design.
Incident command integration, lockdown and shelter-in-place protocols, evacuation procedures, and communications under pressure.
Student and staff re-entry, psychological safety support, post-incident operations, continuity, and after-action improvement.
Coordination with law enforcement, fire service, EMS, public health, and emergency management agencies.
After-action reviews, improvement planning, plan updates, and ongoing training to maintain and build preparedness capacity.
Development, review, and strengthening of School Emergency Operations Plans aligned with NIMS, ICS, and state/local requirements.
Support for establishing or strengthening behavioral threat assessment teams, protocols, and procedures.
Response protocol development, staff training, drill facilitation, and multi-agency coordination planning for active assailant scenarios.
Student-family reunification plan development, site selection, communication planning, and staff role assignments.
Guidance on student and staff psychological safety considerations following an incident, including re-entry planning and continuity of learning.
Development of crisis communications plans for parent, media, staff, and community communication during and after emergencies.
GKC offers tailored school safety support scoped to your school's size, resources, and specific preparedness challenges.
