At ISC, we believe that alongside education, protecting students and staff is a main objective of any school or university. This focus is heightened by today’s active threat environments, where schools and universities are often the frontline for active threats, public health outbreaks, and natural disasters. Using our experience, we understand that how schools and universities prepare for crisis has a direct correlation to their ability to take steps to prevent unsafe incidents from occurring, effectively respond to crisis, and quickly recover and build resiliency for the future.
Schools and Universities are Vulnerable
The importance of a school or university and the vitality it offers to a community cannot be overestimated. Schools provide a beacon of opportunity and serve as a key ingredient to resiliency and sustainable development. Research has taught us that second to family, school is the most important stabilizing force in the lives of young people and a community.
