The U.S. Department of Education announces the award of 105 grants totaling more than $28 million to help school districts improve and strengthen their emergency response and crisis management plans, including training school personnel, students, and parents in emergency response procedures and coordinating with local law enforcement, public safety, health, and mental health agencies.

Recipients of the FY 2004 Emergency Response and Crisis Management discretionary grants will work with their communities to develop meaningful partnerships to support and sustain their emergency response plans. In addition to collaborating at the community level, grantees will coordinate with their state’s homeland security plans. This coordination will eliminate any duplication of effort and ensure that community level plans are aligned with actions at the state level.

Emergency response plans developed by school districts under this grant program will consider all possible hazards and crises, factor in the needs of all populations, and address the four phases of crisis planning: mitigation/prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
