During a school emergency, the amount of time it takes to react can mean the difference between life and death. A crucial component in improving emergency response times is ensuring that on-site staff, 9-1-1 and first responders all have a way to communicate with each other.
Watch our roundtable discussion with Everett Public School District and Snohomish County 9-1-1 to learn how they successfully collaborate and prepare for school emergencies.
In this webinar we discussed:
- Best practices for collaboration and responsibilities for each team
