Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024

				content, and format of emergency management plan and the emergency management
				test as required by section 
									5502.262
								 of the Revised Code.
(A)
								Definitions.
(1)
									"Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis" means the
			 process to identify hazards and assess the vulnerability associated with
			 each.
(2)
									"Full-Scale Exercise" means exercises that are
			 typically the most complex and resource-intensive type of exercise. They
			 involve multiple agencies, organizations, and jurisdictions and validate many
			 facets of preparedness. Full scale exercises often include many players
			 operating under cooperative systems such as the "Incident Command System" or
			 "Unified Command." Individual school buildings can participate in a
			 district-wide full-scale exercise in order to complete a full-scale exercise
			 but they must submit their own after-action report.
(3)
									"Incident Command
			 System" (ICS) is a standardized on-scene emergency management construct
			 specifically designed to provide an integrated organizational structure that
			 reflects the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without
			 being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. The incident command system is the
			 combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications
			 operating within a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the
			 management of resources during incidents. ICS is used for all kinds of
			 emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents.
			 ICS is used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and
			 private, to organize field-level incident management
			 operations.
(4)
									"Unified Command" is used in incidents involving
			 multiple jurisdictions, a single jurisdiction with multi agency involvement, or
			 multiple jurisdictions with multi agency involvement. Unified command allows
			 agencies with different legal, geographic, and functional authorities and
			 responsibilities to work together effectively without affecting individual
			 agency authority, responsibility, or accountability.
(5)
									"Functional
			 Content Area" are the procedures and protocols used to respond to a variety of
			 hazards that can be found in the emergency operations plan.
(6)
									"Functional
			 Exercise" are those exercises designed to validate and evaluate capabilities,
			 multiple functions and/or sub-functions, or interdependent groups of functions.
			 Functional exercises are typically focused on exercising plans, policies,
			 procedures, and staff members involved in management, direction, command, and
			 control functions. In functional exercises, events are projected through an
			 exercise scenario with event updates that drive activity at the management
			 level. A functional exercise is conducted in a realistic, real-time
			 environment; however, movement of personnel and equipment is usually
			 simulated.
(7)
									Tabletop Exercise" means an exercise that is typically
			 held in an informal setting intended to generate discussion of various issues
			 regarding a hypothetical, simulated emergency. Tabletop exercises can be used
			 to enhance general awareness, validate plans and procedures, rehearse concepts,
			 and/or assess the types of systems needed to guide the prevention of,
			 protection from, mitigation of, response to, and recovery from a defined
			 incident. Generally, tabletop exercises are aimed at facilitating conceptual
			 understanding, identifying strengths and areas for improvement, and/or
			 achieving changes in attitudes. Tabletop exercises may be conducted
			 virtually.
(8)
									"School safety and security contact" means the
			 individual responsible for school based concerns related to safety, security
			 and emergency management.
(9)
									"Mental health provider" means a state licensed school
			 counselor, school psychologist, school social worker and community based mental
			 health provider.
(10)
									"Trauma" means an event, series of events, or set of
			 circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally
			 harmful or life threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the
			 individual's functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, and/or
			 spiritual well-being.
(11)
									"Trauma Informed Care" means infusing and sustaining
			 trauma awareness, knowledge, skills and appropriate response into the
			 organization's culture, practices, and policies.
(12)
									"Community law
			 enforcement and safety officials" means law enforcement, fire, emergency
			 medical personnel, mental health providers, local public health departments,
			 school safety and security contacts, and any local divisions having county wide
			 emergency management.
