Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS)

Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) is a federal initiative aimed at helping schools prepare for and respond to emergencies and threats. It provides resources and guidance for developing safety plans, conducting drills, and building partnerships with local emergency services. REMS emphasizes the importance of creating a safe learning environment by addressing potential risks, such as natural disasters, violent incidents, and health emergencies. Through training and collaboration, schools can enhance their ability to protect students and staff, ensuring a swift and effective response during crises.
