"Nothing is more essential to our state than protecting our people. And nothing is more

crucial for our government than doing everything possible to reach that goal. We must

plan for the inevitable. I have a simple rule– those who fail to plan, plan to fail. I will not let

“Knowing how to respond quickly and efficiently in a crisis is critical to ensuring the

safety of our schools and students. The midst of a crisis is not the time to start figuring out who

ought to do what. At that moment, everyone involved from top to bottom should know the

drill and know each other.”

-- U.S. Secretary Margaret Spellings
