During a Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting, Emily Harris of the VT Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security and Rob Evans, the VT School Safety Liaison, will present on the development of Emergency Operations Plans (EOP) for schools and the role that first responders play in the development of this plan.  They will share the EOP template developed by FEMA, Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Vermont School Crisis Guide, developed by the Vermont School Crisis Planning Team.  Use of these tools help ensure consistency across the schools and supervisory unions.
