Emergency Management in BC Schools

That BCCPAC recommend that the Minister of Education promote one universal emergency management system for use in all BC schools, and that the system be based on the six principles endorsed by BC Provincial Emergency Program and the Emergency Coordinators throughout BC. These principles promote: 1) Comprehensive emergency management in schools; 2) A risk-based approach for each school; 3) An integrated multi-hazard process; 4) The principles of the Incident Command System; 5) Training of volunteers; and 6) Involvement of stakeholders in community partnerships.
