The purpose of the DoDEA Crisis Management
Web site is to help families, educators, and community members understand
how schools will ensure that children and personnel are safe and secure
in the event of a crisis. The Web site provides current information for
families and educators about schools' crisis management policies and procedures,
and makes available useful resources to help children and adults cope
with the stress and anxiety associated with traumatic incidents.
It is important that teachers and families
know how to support young people during and following traumatic situations,
to help them develop coping skills to deal with their feelings and concerns,
and to spot those who have acute and long-term reactions to crisis. The
Web site offers a menu of information, strategies, and resources that can
aid school personnel and families in the event of traumatic events such
as assaults, natural disasters, and war. Since these crises have the potential
to affect the entire school community, links with local resources as well
as many professional agencies with expertise in helping children and adults
deal with crisis can be found on this site.
