On Wednesday, January 15, Dr. Crossley met with Hempstead County Emergency Management teams, first responders, city police, representatives from UAHT, and others to share, discuss, and revise the Emergency Response Plan for Hope Public Schools. The plan defines various emergency situations and the various courses of action each stakeholder takes during such events.
