The H.A.L.O. NETWORK
The H.A.L.O. Network is a non-profit organization at http://nhfdonations.newc.com/ at H. A. L. O. Network. The following are program designed to prepare the community for a disaster. The Network will help ease tensions and minimize anxieties in these communities during any emergency, natural or man made.
Training for Public Schools
S.T.A.N.D.
School Teachers Against New Dangers
Corporate sponsorship is available for the training of our local teachers. The teacher's in-service offers training for student/teacher safety and assistance with a plan for all types of disasters and hazards. All hazard mitigation (training) is the priority, whether terrorist threats, pandemic, or other natural disasters.
Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning for Schools
The need for the Emergency Management Planning for Schools:
Surveys of school Emergency Response plans reveal a number of common problems:
- Plans are developed in isolation from emergency responders and other community officials
- Plans are vague and responsibilities are not clearly defined.
- School personnel are not aware of the plans or do not understand the plans.
- Plans are not exercised appropriately.
- Plans do not cover all hazards.
School leaders have a legal and moral obligation to make schools as safe as possible for children and to minimize potential harm in the event of emergencies and disasters. Planning and preparation should be done on purpose, not by accident.
Goals
The goals of the S.T.A.N.D. program are to provide emergency planning guidance to those participants responsible for developing or maintaining an effective Emergency Response Plan for their schools, and to support these planning efforts with any follow up activities necessary.
