Building Capacity and Competencies

From orientation to independence, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.

Introducing or changing a school emergency program can take some work. A successful implementation requires careful planning and a systematic approach. With over 20 years under our belts, we’ve honed the process and can help ease the transition.

While the exact steps may vary depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the school and district, here are the elements our team takes care of in the process.

Our commitment to partnering with schools for emergency program consulting services is dedicated to building your school's capacity to prepare for and respond to emergency situations with confidence.

We work hand-in-hand with schools, aligning our expertise with your needs to foster a culture of preparedness.

Nothing makes us happier than when a school team we have worked with confidently says, “We’ve got this.”

Thanks to Hour-Zero's commitment to partnering with schools, we now have a well-designed emergency plan that has been tested and refined. I feel much more confident in our ability to keep our students and staff safe in the event of an emergency.

School Principal

As the Associate Superintendent of Student Services, I was always concerned about the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We had a basic emergency plan in place, but I knew we needed more. That's when we decided to team up with Hour-Zero. They truly have become our partners in keeping our school safe.
