Preparing schools to deal with crises

Hour-Zero™ is an emergency preparedness program developed exclusively for K-12 school communities. The program addresses all the critical components of emergency response planning using ICS* and NIMS**, and ensures compliance with government regulations. Hour-Zero™ helps school districts develop and operationalize their emergency preparedness plans quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.

Hour-Zero™ ensures school plans are properly coordinated with community response systems, are practical, and make the most of available resources whether that is equipment, services or personnel.

It requires dedicated time and expertise to develop emergency plans that work; two things that weight most school districts. Hour-Zero™ provides school districts with the needed resources and expertise to ensure the best possible emergency management system is created for their schools.

The Hour-Zero™ program includes audits and assessments, plan development, community collaboration, training, testing, plan maintenance and updates and incident management.

Hour-Zero™ gives districts the tools to deal with the unthinkable with ability, confidence and trust.
