Emergency and Critical Incident Management Planning

Joint emergency management planning for shared sites

When schools share sites with other users, including other education providers and early childhood services, joint emergency management planning is strongly recommended.

This may include:

• identifying shared evacuation locations and assembly areas
• conducting joint drills
• establishing communication arrangements between services
• considering implications and opportunities for business continuity planning.

For detailed guidance on joint emergency management planning on shared sites, refer to Emergency management considerations for schools on shared sites (DOCX) and the Emergency and critical incident management planning guide for government schools (PDF).
