CrisisManagementFamilies trust schools to keep their children safe during the day. Thanks tothe efforts of millions of teachers, principals, and staff across America, themajority of schools remain safe havens for our nations youth. Theunfortunate reality is, however, that school districts in this country may betouched either directly or indirectly by a crisis of some kind at any time.Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, fires, and tornadoes canstrike a community with little or no warning. An influenza pandemic, or otherinfectious disease, can spread from person-to-person causing serious illnessacross the country, or around the globe, in a very short time. Schoolshootings, threatened or actual, are extremely rare but are horrific andchilling when they occur. The harrowing events of September 11 andsubsequent anthrax scares have ushered in a new age of terrorism.Amazon - $21http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Information-Crisis-Planning-Communities/dp/1492883565/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1410547583&sr=1-1&keywords=practical+information+on+crisis+planning 17.
