During all phases your school needs to consider activities to prevent and protect against hazards and threats. No emergency plan can address every scenario or foresee every outcome. However, a comprehensive planning process can identify potential incidents, and as a result determine prevention and protection measures to stop, minimize, or contain the impact of an incident.

Some examples of prevention and protection measures include:

• Cybersecurity,
• Pandemic influenza sanitation,
• Building access control procedures such as requiring photo IDs, lockdown policies, security systems, and cameras, and
• Site access control.
