SHARING EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLANS
WHAT IF THERE IS ANOTHER COVID-19 OR JOPLIN-TYPE EVENT?
Do public safety officials and emergency response managers have access to the most current emergency plans? Among the lessons learned nationwide from disaster responses and the COVID-19 pandemic is how important it is to have accurate information and for government officials to be able to work from a common plan. SafetyCity has been used for school emergency operations plans (EOPs) and can be used for all types of EOPs.
DELIVERING EMERGENCY OPERATION PLANS TO FIRST RESPONDERS.
WHO NEEDS IT?
Public Safety agencies and other authorized organizations that respond to fire, accidents, active shooter, weather-related, mass-casualty events, or other emergency situations.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
SafetyCity holds key information, such as relationships between public safety agencies and the organizations they serve, where it can be efficiently and readily kept up to date.
A SECURE PLATFORM WHERE CRITICAL INFO IS KEPT UP-TO-DATE
SafetyCity is a common platform for building and maintaining EOPs to agreed-on standards. By providing this service statewide, Missouri schools, emergency response managers and first responders will have uniformly high-quality plans that they can use for training purposes and, in time of crisis, they will have critical and life-saving information available at their fingertips.
SafetyCity is tried and true.

SafetyCity Meets Key Recommendations of Governor Parson’s School Safety Task Force:
“Emergency planning is critical to ensuring a school is capable of protecting its students, faculty, and staff. …Effective EOPs are viewed as living and breathing documents that are continually updated based upon threats, capabilities, new technologies and personnel. …Current trends and data suggest that emergency operations plans need to be shared, with teachers and staff, emergency personnel, local law enforcement and first responders. …The most effective high quality EOPs are those that are frequently tested and evaluated, then changed, revised, and updated based upon the testing and drills.” (Final Report, Missouri Governor’s School Safety Task Force, July 31, 2019, p. 13.)
These school EOPs can include pandemic planning guides and checklists.
SafetyCity helps agencies identify resources related to the EOP such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and shows where these items are located.
