About

This review focuses on four main emergency management phases (mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery) as they relate to disasters and school settings. It examines different ways schools can prepare, respond, and recover from emergencies like natural disasters or health crises. The study focuses on K-12 settings and provides evidence to help improve safety plans in schools. It also highlights challenges faced by rural areas in Australia when dealing with such events. The goal is to make sure students are safe and learning continues even during difficult times.
