Standard Response Protocol & Safety Drills

Posted Date: 08/18/2023

Safety drills begin at each campus during the first two weeks of school as mandated by the Texas Education Agency.

Livingston ISD has adopted The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff utilize the SRP in training, practicing, and drilling the protocol. The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in the protocol. The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these, the action is labeled with a “Term of Art” and is then followed by a “Directive.” Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers, and first responders.

The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
