School-Wide Emergency Kits support large groups of students and staff during campus-level emergencies such as lockdowns, earthquakes, reunification operations, and extended shelter-in-place situations. These kits are staged in gyms, multipurpose rooms, administrative offices, outdoor gathering points, or emergency supply containers to provide bulk resources when classrooms cannot be used or when large groups must remain together.
A school-wide kit typically includes high-capacity food and water supplies, sanitation materials, basic medical resources, lighting, and other essential items needed to support dozens or hundreds of individuals. These kits allow schools and districts to maintain consistent emergency readiness regardless of campus size or layout.
Many schools store school-wide emergency kits within large outdoor shipping containers or emergency supply sheds located on campus. These become centralized supply caches that support reunification areas, emergency operations centers, or temporary shelters during natural disasters or extended incidents.
More Prepared assembles school-wide kits in a range of capacities to accommodate student populations, facility layouts, and district safety planning needs. Kits can be customized and replenished on a cycle that aligns with emergency operations plans and facility logistics.
School-wide kits work alongside classroom lockdown kits, student emergency kits, nurse’s office supplies, trauma kits, and other safety equipment as part of a layered districtwide emergency preparedness program.
FAQ
What is the difference between a classroom kit and a school-wide emergency kit?
A classroom kit supports one teacher and their students, while a school-wide kit provides bulk supplies for large groups assembled in gyms, multipurpose rooms, or reunification areas.
Where should school-wide kits be stored?
They are commonly stored in gyms, administrative offices, dedicated supply rooms, or outdoor shipping containers used as on-campus emergency supply depots.
How many school-wide kits does a school need?
Needs vary by enrollment and layout. A small school may need one or two large kits, while multi-building campuses or districts may require multiple kits staged in different areas. More Prepared can help estimate requirements.
Do school-wide kits replace classroom or student kits?
No. They complement classroom lockdown kits and student kits by supporting larger groups during campus-level sheltering or reunification.
Can school-wide kits be customized?
Yes. Kits can be customized to match district policies, hazards, climate, or storage constraints. Additional medical supplies, communication tools, or documentation can be added.
How often should school-wide kits be reviewed or updated?
Food and water components generally have a five-year shelf life. Districts typically conduct an annual review to verify access, labeling, and replenishment needs.
Do you accept purchase orders and support multi-site deployments?
Yes. More Prepared accepts purchase orders and regularly handles large, multi-school, or districtwide deployments. Quotes can include quantities, capacities, replenishment cycles, and storage recommendations.
