Role of the PAC in Emergency Preparedness

The Parent Advisory Committee plays a valuable role in a school's emergency preparedness state of readiness. Emergency preparedness supplies are typically funded by PAC fundraising efforts. In addition, the PACs emergency preparedness representative often spearheads or participates in reviewing and updating emergency preparedness supplies, including:

• contents of the classroom Grab-and-Go kits

• emergency water supplies 

• outdoor emergency container supplies

Below is a document that includes detailed information for the PAC on school emergency supplies.
