Recovery

NEW -- REMS TA Recovery Support Web Page

• The REMS TA Center created a NEW Web page intended to be used by K-12 schools, school districts, state education agencies, and regional education agencies in the aftermath of an emergency to support their recovery efforts. This page contains a repository of resources that education agencies may use and share to provide support to schools with the different phases and types of recovery.

NEW -- Planning for your Education Agency's Recovery From an Emergency Incident (REMSTA) 

• Although most recovery activities are implemented during and after an incident, the more ready an entity is to implement them before the emergency occurs, the more effective and faster the recovery will be. A Recovery Annex is created in advance and outlines how the school, school district, and/or institution of higher education (IHE) will work with its community partners to recover from an emergency. An effective Recovery Annex includes realistic actions and related expectations for returning to typical educational functions.
