Ep 131: What's New in SSAVEIM

When a violent event happens at a school, the response and the reunification that follows are not a school problem or a responder problem. They are one problem, and both sides have to solve it together. School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management (SSAVEIM) prepares them to solve it together, with particular attention to the reunification a violent event forces. In this episode of the Active Shooter Incident Management Podcast, Bill Godfrey and Kevin Nichols walk through the updated course. SSAVEIM brings schools, responders, and emergency management through lockdown, the public safety response, and the reunification that follows, which many school teams have never practiced. Schools see how responders will actually manage the incident, responders see everything reunification involves, and each side leaves knowing the parts of the other's job it had never seen. The biggest focus is the part that goes differently at a school: violent-event reunification. Because the building becomes a crime scene, reunification is forced offsite, with all the logistics and security that involves. SSAVEIM builds on the I Love U Guys Foundation's Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method, and concentrates on the violent-event reunification those programs do not cover. Both school-district and community emergency managers belong in the preparation, because a violent event surfaces a long list of plans that need updating.
