KEY POINT
People in educational and institutional facilities are vulnerable in time-limited acute health crises.
Due to their special needs people in educational and institutional facilities (e.g., students, patients, residents, and so on) are especially vulnerable during time-limited acute health crises. Severe weather events are extremely likely in Cuyahoga County, and the presence of hazardous materials inside our facilities and on our roadways is very common. The presence of these potential threats illustrates why emergency plans are required for these facilities.
