Standard Reunification Method- Reunification Exercise

One critical aspect of crisis response is accountable reunification of students with their parents or guardians in the event an unexpected release is necessary. The I Love U Guys Foundation’s Standard Reunification Method – Reunification Exercise (SRM-REx) training is intended to prepare participants to handle, organize, and reunite individuals who have experienced an emergent event regardless of the cause. Attendees will be taught the concepts contained in the SRM during the training conducted on Day One and perform several reunifications during the exercise on Day Two. After completing both days, the organization’s reunification team will be equipped to develop organization-specific reunification plans and training events.

By the end of the training, attendees will be able to:

• Describe the Standard Reunification Method and how it interacts with the SRP
• Develop a roster of reunification team members and associated positions for
  their organization
• Plan the layout of a reunification site from blueprints or other schematics
• Demonstrate the role of each reunification team member’s position
• Establish the reunification process at the reunification site in accordance with
  the SRM Operational Guidance
• Appropriately reunify mock students and mock parents/guardians utilizing SRM
  process
• Practice the capabilities of the School or District Reunification Team to
  coordinate with local public safety and emergency response personnel in
  accordance with local emergency operations plans and/or agreements
