| Description | | The morning session will be the Safety Table Top Drill Training with UNLPPC.
It will go from 8 AM to Noon. The following is a description of the course:
ESU 13 is hosting a Tabletop Safety Drill Training in partnership with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Public Policy Center (UNL PPC). This training is designed to provide school leaders and staff with a structured opportunity to examine and strengthen their Emergency Operations Plans through guided discussion and scenario-based analysis.
Participants will work through complex, realistic school safety scenarios to systematically review existing procedures, communication protocols, decision-making processes, and interagency coordination. The tabletop format allows teams to identify strengths, uncover gaps, and clarify roles in a low-stress, collaborative environment—without the pressure of a live drill.
The overarching goal of this training is to promote meaningful dialogue and regional collaboration among Nebraska Panhandle schools. By learning alongside colleagues and sharing perspectives, participants will build a stronger, more coordinated approach to school safety that supports preparedness, consistency, and effective response across districts.
_________________________________________________________
The afternoon training, EOP Review and Q&A with Regional Emergency Management Leaders, will take place from 1:00–3:30 PM.
This session will be a presentation led by county and regional emergency management leaders from across the Nebraska Panhandle. Presenters will outline available emergency management resources, response networks, roles, and scopes of service, with a focus on how schools engage with local and regional agencies during emergency situations.
Following the presentation, the session will shift into an interactive question-and-answer format where participants may ask specific questions related to emergency response, school safety, and their district or school Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). Emergency management leaders will provide direct, scenario-based feedback and guidance tailored to the unique needs of Panhandle schools.
This will be a collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves working session designed to support schools in refining their Emergency Operations Plans. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from one another, share and borrow best practices across districts, and receive practical, actionable input to strengthen coordination, procedures, and overall emergency preparedness. |
