Purpose and Goal
The purpose of the Amherst County Public Schools School Crisis, Emergency Management, and Medical Emergency Response Plan is to establish a framework for emergency preparedness and response by specifying actions to be taken:
- Before an emergency to prevent, protect from, and mitigate the impact on life or property;
- During an emergency to respond to the emergency and minimize its impact on life or property; and
- After an emergency to recover from its impact on life or property.
The goal of the Plan is to ensure the safety of all members of the Amherst County Public Schools community through a rapid, coordinated, and effective response to and recovery from emergencies and disasters.
