ED Pandemic Planning Resources
on The Web
ED has numerous resources to help
schools prepare for a crisis, including a
pandemic event. The Lead & Manage
My School section of the ED Web site
offers planning materials and information
about seasonal flu as well as
pandemic flu planning. Educators can
find checklists, sample emergency plans,
and strategies to limit the spread of flu
viruses. Look for these materials and

The Emergency Response and Crisis
Management (ERCM) Technical Assistance
(TA) Center offers answers
to emergency planning questions and
technical assistance. Schools can use an
online form to ask questions and request
assistance with ERCM-related activities.
The ERCM TA Center conducts trainings
on emergency planning, including ways
to incorporate an influenza pandemic
into crisis plans. These trainings are
held separately for grantees and non grantees,
and the sites for training
rotate among cities around the country.
Presentation materials from previous
meetings can be downloaded from the
center’s Web site under the Trainings
link.
In addition to these training materials,
the center has a Resources page
that includes additional materials and
a newsletter about emergency response
and crisis management. The center’s
Web address is http://www.ercm.org.
