Emergency Team
"Toolbox"
Each school's Emergency
Response Team should consider developing a "toolbox" to have available for use
during an emergency situation. Items in the toolbox
should not be used for anything other than emergency
preparedness training activities. A member of the
Emergency Response Team should be assigned to keep
the toolbox updated (change batteries, update phone
numbers, etc.). The toolbox should be portable and
readily accessible for use in an emergency.
