THE STANDARD RESPONSE PROTOCOL
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) provides consistent, clear, shared language and actions among all student, staff and first responders for all hazards.  It is action based, and allows organizations, first responders, students, and parents to share a specific vocabulary for quick and coordinated actions.  It also acts as a tool for training which develops the muscle memory necessary to respond appropriately in moments of crisis.

The SRP is based on five actions:  Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
