About Us

The Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) Technical Assistance (TA) Center's primary goal is to support schools and school districts in emergency management, including the development and implementation of comprehensive emergency management plans. Established by the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools (OSDFS) in October 2004, the REMS TA Center supports REMS grantees in managing and implementing their grants and in sustaining their efforts over time. Non-grantee local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools may receive support to improve and strengthen their emergency management efforts, as well.

The REMS TA Center primarily disseminates information about emergency management to help school districts learn more about developing, implementing, and evaluating emergency management plans. In addition, the REMS TA Center helps OSDFS coordinate technical assistance meetings, creates publications focused on key emergency management issues and topics, and responds to direct requests for technical assistance.
