This session promotes a comprehensive weather preparedness initiative that encourages staff and families to rely on Weather advice from the National Weather Service as the primary source for accurate, real-time weather information. Through brief trainings, regular reminders, and integration into school safety protocols, the plan will strengthen situational awareness and improve timely decision-making during severe weather events. By standardizing trusted information sources and reinforcing preparedness practices, schools can enhance safety and reduce confusion before, during, and after weather emergencies.
