CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLAN CONTENT CHECKLIST
Principals are responsible for maintaining an up-to-date Crisis Management Plan (CMP) for their schools and
ensuring that the following are met.
• The Crisis Management Plan (CMP) is updated annually and a copy sent to the Catholic Schools Office.
• The CMP is available in every classroom, office, and other school rooms.
• The CMP is easily available to emergency crews. A campus map is provided with utility cut-offs, fire alarm
system, surveillance, fire extinguishers, fire pulls, classroom numbers, computer/science lab locations,
storage areas for flammable material, and access to campus clearly identified.
• Schools maintain current pictorial and written inventories for insurance purposes (flash drive).
The checklist is a resource that can be used to guide the development and revision of school Crisis
Management Plans. In addition, the TCCB ED Guide to Quality Effectiveness, TCCB ED Health
Manual and the Archdiocesan Administrator’s Handbook of Policies and Procedures for Elementary
Schools should be utilized as resources. It is NOT necessary to submit this checklist to the Catholic
Schools Office.
