LAUSD Response and Recovery The safety of children is the top priority in the Los Angeles Unified School District during a disaster! We plan and prepare for various emergency situations and work to mitigate hazards of all kinds in and around our schools. Schools hold regular emergency drills, covering fire, earthquake, chemical spill, and dangerous person scenarios annually. Students will not If it is hazardous for Schools will act with the safety of students in If there is an return until the students to be mind, and school officials will always follow released, everyone emergency at school, buildings have the directives of the police department and will be kept inside school personnel been inspected the fire department. the school until they have been trained, and it is are notified by the In rare instances, where more distance is and will react quickly determined to authorities that it is needed to ensure student safety, students to protect children. be safe to enter. safe. may be relocated to another school site. Section 3100 of the Civil Code stipulates that all public employees are “Disaster Service Workers” and as such, LAUSD employees will be tasked to care for students during a disaster as part of that responsibility. 5
Emergency Operations Plan in LAUSD California Education Code, Sections 35295-35297 (The Katz Act), Section 40041, 40042. Requires that a school site disaster plan outline roles, responsibilities, and procedures for students and staff. It also requires that the school site emergency management organizational structure comply with SEMS, Title 19 Section 2400, and be ready for implementation at all times. The California Emergency Services Act, provides overall statewide authorities and responsibilities, and describes the functions and operations of government at all levels during extraordinary emergencies, including wartime. Section 8568 of the Act states, in part, that "...the State Emergency Plan shall be in effect in each political subdivision of the state, and the governing body of each political subdivision shall take such action as may be necessary to carry out the provisions thereof." Local emergency plans are, therefore, considered to be extensions of the California Emergency Plan. 6
Emergency Operations Plan in LAUSD In LAUSD, response levels are used to describe the type of incident. Deciding factors include: areas affected, extent of coordination or assistance needed, and degree of participation expected from the School District. Response levels are closely tied to emergency proclamations issued by the head of local government. 7
