Crisis Response

This manual will focus on our Crisis Response Team (CRT) procedures for times when there is a serious loss in the school community such as the death of a student or teacher from an accident, illness, etc. While we do not experience serious losses in our schools regularly, it is important to be prepared so we respond in a planned and caring way when there is a death in the school community. Our county plan along with the Malheur ESD Crisis Response Team (CRT) helps students and adults in the grieving and healing process.  *The CRT team should follow Suicide Postvention protocol for death by suicide- please refer to the Suicide Prevention Guide.
