Ludlow Public Schools

Emergency Preparedness 

Ludlow Public Schools has developed a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan that all staff members need to review. Every school will use the standardized Emergency Response District Plan based on the nationally recognized Incident Command System (ICS) that is continuously monitored by our District Emergency Response Team. 

Each Building Emergency Response Team is well versed in all areas of the plan. Each staff member is required to have the Emergency Response Quick Guide in their classroom and available for substitutes. Each guide outlines the 4 major response actions on which all response actions are based. 

Emergencies are unexpected, unpredictable, and take many forms. No one can be fully prepared for everything that may happen, but some clear measures are helpful in any emergency. When a school’s emergency response actions are well rehearsed and automatic, the opportunity for a school leader to assess the situation and make appropriate immediate decisions is greater.
