The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is encouraging school personnel to become familiar with emergency procedures since school will starting up in a couple of weeks.
They’ve released a new video called “Tornado Preparedness for Illinois Schools” that outlines steps for identifying shelter spaces within school buildings and other tips for severe weather emergency planning. The video also includes a pre-tornado season to-do list for schools, which can be used as a guideline for training, establishing protocols, and assigning responsibilities to staff members.
The video can be obtained by visiting www.Ready.Illinois.Gov.
