In the context of school safety, family reunification means to reunite children with verified and authorized family members after a critical and often highly stressful incident (e.g., a fire, a natural disaster, a school bus accident, a situation involving weapons or violence at school, etc.) that disrupts the school day and prompts the need for a school dismissal to protect the school community. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide information and resources related to the school's and school district's plans for reunifying children with their families after an emergency event. This fact sheet provides information to consider for addressing, managing, and facilitating successful family reunification before, during, and after an emergency event within a school emergency operations plan (EOP).
