Safe schools are important for the safety of children inside. <br />A functional school following a disaster is also important to continue providing educational <br />services during a community’s recovery. If they are not operational families may choose to <br />move in order to enroll their children in school. For families that stay, parents may be <br />unable to return to work if schools are not in session. <br />The important role of a school expands beyond education. Schools can be the center of a <br />community’s social fabric. They are not just a space for youth, but a place for the <br />community as a whole. Schools are often where community meetings, performances, and <br />events are held. Following disasters, some schools can serve as temporary shelter sites, <br />while others might house social services to support disaster stricken communities. <br />While many of the critical facilities already listed may be located in publicly owned <br />buildings, there are a number of other public services and operations that are critical for a <br />jurisdiction to properly recover. City administrative services will be crucial to meet the <br />surging demand for approvals, permits, and financing. Many public services outside the <br />scope of emergency response will also need to be restored and operating soon after an <br />event. Any social services that local governments administer will need to be restored <br />quickly. Lastly, many local governments operate a number of infrastructure systems (local <br />roads, water distribution, sewer, etc.) that will need departments to quickly repair <br />damaged components and restore service to residents. Without a place to continue <br />working, or without the resources or records needed to complete the tasks, a jurisdiction <br />may be ill equipped to meet the increased workload expected in the aftermath of a disaster <br />event. <br /> <br />
