Legislation for District and School-based Emergency Preparedness Plans

The BCCPAC lobby the BC Government on behalf of all parents and BC students to enact provincial legislation which puts a legal requirement on boards of education and local governments to develop district and school-based emergency preparedness plans in co-operation with provincial authorities. Such legislation should require that schools have personnel with training and equipment as well as funding for emergency supplies and kiosks at school sites. The cost of this program should be shared between the participating local governments, Boards of Education and the appropriate Provincial Authorities.
