 Sharing PTA / PTSA / School Districts
​Emergency Preparedness 

The combination of internal and external bench-marking helps to identify the most important gaps between an organization’s current state and where it wants to be, helping to create both a road map and a plan for change.  We encourage our parent leaders to visit other councils, PTA's and School Districts. Explore what others are doing in the area of Safety, Security and Emergency Preparedness and bring home new approaches and methods. Identify best practices and ensure we capture them on our Success Stories page and this page.

San Diego County Office of Education

  • Disaster Preparedness Curriculum
  • Be Aware, Be Prepared is a fourth grade unit of study created by the Office of Emergency Services in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education. In this unit students build knowledge about the geological systems of the Earth, natural disasters, and disaster preparation through print and technology sources and rative research. The unit directly reflects the overarching intent and goals of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The curriculum includes safety information that could be lifesaving to students and families in our community. Our goal is to see this unit implemented in all fourth grade classrooms in San Diego County. We welcome feedback from teachers who have implemented the unit in their classrooms; future versions of the curriculum will be adapted with your input.
