Athletic Emergency Action Plans

Athletic Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) are structured guidelines designed to ensure a quick and effective response to emergencies that may occur during sports activities. These plans outline specific procedures for handling situations such as severe injuries, cardiac emergencies, or environmental hazards. They detail roles and responsibilities for staff, emergency contacts, equipment needed, and communication protocols. By having an EAP in place, organizations can enhance the safety of athletes and minimize response time during critical situations, ultimately helping to save lives and ensure a safer sporting environment.
