Standard Response Protocol (S.R.P.)
INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
COMMON LANGUAGE
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.
The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these, the action is labeled with a “Term of Art” and is then followed by a “Directive.” Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders. The SRP is based on the following actions: “HOLD”, “SECURE”, “LOCKDOWN”, “EVACUATE”, and “SHELTER”.
LOCKDOWN! Locks, lights, out of sight.
