Created for use by educational institutions throughout the U.S., the first-of-its-kind American School Safety Crisis Response Kit® addresses issues of school safety, facility security and emergency management. Canton, CT (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 -- AmericanSchoolSafety.com, LLC, a leader in the development and delivery of school safety products and services, today announced the release of its patent pending Crisis Response Kit® (CRK), the first and only kit of its kind designed for use by schools, higher education, institutions, businesses, hospitals, day and elder care facilities in emergency and crisis situations. The American School Safety Crisis Response Kit® is now available at http://www.americanschoolsafety.com. Security experts and consultants conducting site-based vulnerability assessments in public and private schools across the United States concur that most are presently unprepared to quickly react and effectively respond to many emergency situations with any degree of desired proficiency. "Most parents believe that their local schools have well-developed and practiced security protocols and procedures... the truth is that they don't," said William J. Smith, Licensed Security Consultant and Managing Director of AmericanSchoolSafety.com. While rudiments of emergency plans appear to exist at many facilities, the development of these plans into functional, practiced, and reasonably thorough guidelines for school staff is often a work in progress not likely to be completed in the near future. "There is a need to cluster topics into natural disasters, human caused disasters, evacuation procedures, medical protocols, etc., and to organize critical documents so that their presentation is user-friendly before, during and after a crisis or emergency," said Dr. Victor Ferry, a noted Crisis Response Expert and public and private sector Senior On-Call Security Consultant. American School Safety has developed a patent pending solution to address these issues and to empower educators, youth-serving professionals and facility directors to quickly react and successfully respond to emergency situations. A key component of the CRK is the Guidelines for Assembling the American School Safety Crisis Response Kit that provides user-friendly, step-by-step instructions for populating the critical site-based information needed in the event of a facility or district-wide crisis or emergency. "Using the CRK's informational guidelines insures that vital site-based information will be readily available to police, fire, and first responders in the event of an emergency," said Ralph A. DiFonzo, Jr., former FBI Hostage Negotiator and Supervisory Special Agent who has worked with Smith and his team on educational institution security audits and assessments. "Ideally they should be placed in every classroom," he added.
