Although I have written about emergency preparedness previously, with this week's
news of the events at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks, and another school in the
Eagle River area, student safety and emergency response is top of mind. This situation
is unsettling. It puts stress on the community, and particularly on parents and students.
It emphasizes the importance of being prepared and to know how to act, or react. Although
emergencies can be unpredictable, knowing what to do can help save lives.
