Standard Reunification Method: Reunifying students with parents or guardians is a critical component of emergency response, but one that is often overlooked. The Standard Reunification Method (SRM) provides school districts and safety teams with proven methods to plan, practice, and achieve a successful reunification amid what can be chaotic and stressful circumstances.

Standard Response Protocol: The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) provides consistent, clear, shared language, and actions among all students, staff, and first responders for all hazards. It is action based, and allows organizations, first responders, students, and parents to share a specific vocabulary for quick and coordinated action. It also acts as a tool for training which develops the muscle memory necessary to respond appropriately in moments of crisis.

This program will be held on Wednesday, April 12, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., in U-Building on Joliet Junior College’s Main Campus, 1215 Houbolt Road in Joliet.

Targeted audience members include college staff, law enforcement, fire and EMS, emergency managers, with everyone welcome.
