Episode Summary
For the 100th episode of our podcast, we continue the conversation with the I Love U Guys Foundation and the importance of ongoing collaboration between schools and public safety agencies to ensure effective responses to emergencies.
Episode Notes
In today’s podcast we continue the discussion with John-Michael Keyes, Stacy Avila, and Kevin Burd from the I Love U Guys Foundation about the Standard Reunification Method (SRM) and its complementary nature to the School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management (SSAVEIM) courses.
Reunification is a complex process that requires thorough planning and practice along with crucial communication between schools and public safety agencies. The episode highlights two main training programs:
1. REx (Reunification Exercise): A two-day program that includes:
- Day 1: Covering Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method
- Day 2: Practical exercises with participants role-playing as students, parents, and reunification team members
2. SSAVEIM (School Safety and Violent Event Incident Management): Focuses on:
- Active shooter response for public safety personnel
- Helping educators understand the public safety response
- Facilitating discussions between school staff and first responders
