Functional Annexes<br />
Accept donations. In the first hours and days after a major incident, offers of help<br />
will probably be plentiful; however, offers will diminish considerably as time<br />
passes. Donations given and not used can always be returned.<br />
Designate a place for staff, students, and community members to leave well-wishes,<br />
messages, and items.<br />
Hospital/Funeral Arrangements<br />
Provide staff with information regarding visitation and/or funeral arrangements<br />
(time, location, customs) when available. If the funeral is scheduled during a school<br />
day, all student and staff will be excused from school.<br />
Encourage staff and students to attend the funeral to provide support for the family<br />
and bring closure to the incident.<br />
Designate staff person(s) to visit the hospital and/or attend the funeral to represent<br />
the school.<br />
Post-Incident Procedures<br />
Allow for changes in normal routines or schedules to address injury or death;<br />
however, recommend students and staff return to their normal routine as soon as<br />
possible after the funeral.<br />
Follow up with students and staff who receive counseling and refer them to outside<br />
mental health professionals as needed.<br />
Donate all remaining memorial items to charity.<br />
