Comprehensive school emergency management planning requires input and collaboration from multidisciplinary stakeholders that represent the whole school community. The involvement of those who are affected by and help carry out the school emergency operations plan (EOP) can help ensure buy-in and the quality of the plan, as well as build the preparedness capacity of the school. Students are often an overlooked stakeholder group and yet represent a large population within the school setting. They can serve as both a resource and key partner by participating in activities before, during, and after an emergency and contributing to EOP development. This fact sheet provides school core planning teams and school safety leaders with strategies for engaging students in school emergency management planning efforts while still safeguarding their well-being.
