REMS TA Center Introduction

The REMS Technical Assistance Center's primary goal is to support schools and school districts in emergency management, including the development and implementation of comprehensive emergency and crisis response plans. Established by the OSDFS in October 2004, the REMS Technical Assistance 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 also may receive support to improve and strengthen their emergency management plans.

The Center disseminates information about emergency management to help school districts learn more about developing, implementing, and evaluating crisis plans. In addition, the Center helps the OSDFS coordinate technical assistance meetings, manage a listserv for sharing emergency management planning information and respond to direct requests for technical assistance.
