What the organizer is for

Roles that run at once

In a crisis the leader, communications, family liaison, support rooms and staff support all work at the same time. One person cannot hold two of them on the day, which is why the organizer flags it.

Practice keeps it real

Federal guidance for school emergency operations plans calls for reviewing the plan regularly and exercising it, including tabletop exercises for the team. Roles on paper that nobody has practiced tend to fail under pressure.

What this is not

A roster aid. It does not replace the school’s emergency operations plan or district procedures.
