Crisis Preparedness Manual

Your play-by-play handbook for dealing with crisis

Confusion can be one of the toughest obstacles to overcome in a tragedy. You can take steps to avoid panic with a StaySafe^® CPM, which organizes essential tasks, responsibilities and protocols into clearly defined personnel assignments to ensure an organized response to any critical situation.

Crisis preparedness items in your manual can include:

• A look at policies and procedures – We create specific behavioral crisis management protocols that fit within existing school policies and procedures.
• Building your crisis management team – StaySafe^® will identify a list of potential candidates from your institution to have a specific role in managing a crisis situation.
• Fitness for Duty and Study – A risk assessment tool to help colleges and universities identify potentially dangerous behavior among students and staff. It can effectively gauge a person’s behavioral health and in turn, help protect the safety of your campus community.
• Physical Site Overview – The StaySafe^® assessment team will identify resources that can support behavioral health and wellness during and after a crisis, and throughout recovery.
• Stand-By Web Site – In the event of a disaster and your primary site goes down, StaySafe^® will provide you with a ready-made Web site containing up-to-date emergency information and designed with your university’s look and brand.
• Community Resources – The CPM identifies and incorporates federal, state and local emergency responders and other community resources so that all your important information is within reach.
• Online Prevention Initiatives – Available 24/7 and cover diverse behavioral health issues such as domestic violence, suicide, smoking cessation and more. Achieve Solutions^® is an award-winning Web site that provides educational resources, assistance material and interactive self-assessment tools.
