AN ACT relative to school emergency response plans.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
87:1 School Boards; School Emergency Response Plans. Amend RSA 189:64, I to read as follows:
189:64 Emergency Response Plans.
I. Within 2 years of the effective date of this section, every public and nonpublic school shall develop a site-specific school emergency response plan which is based on and conforms to the Incident Command System and the National Incident Management System. The plan should be documented at the time of school approval review. The plan shall provide that at least 2 of the currently required number of fire evacuation drills shall be emergency response drills. The plan shall address hazards including but not limited to acts of violence, threats, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, structural fire, wildfire, internal and external hazardous materials releases, medical emergencies, and any other hazard deemed necessary by school officials and local emergency authorities. The first emergency response drill shall be conducted within one year of the completion of the plan. If the school has a building schematic floor plan diagram, the school may, with the approval of the local school board, submit the diagram to the division of homeland security and emergency management, department of safety, in a commonly used digital format. Submission of the diagram will enable the state to better prepare, respond, and mitigate potentially dangerous conditions should the need arise.
87:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
Approved: June 11, 2014
Effective Date: August 10, 2014
