Give schools and other institutions a model for how to develop and implement
reliable plans: The Departments of Education, Justice, Health and Human Services, and
Homeland Security will release—by May 2013—a set of model, high-quality emergency
management plans for schools, houses of worship, and institutions of higher education, along
with best practices for developing these plans and training students and staff to follow them.
In addition, the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Department of
Justice, will assist interested schools, houses of worship, and institutions of higher education in
completing their own security assessments.
