In-Depth Benefits
District-Wide Plan
A comprehensive document outlining how to mitigate, prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from large-scale emergency events. The plan, also known as an EOP, is specific to the district’s unique environment while meeting its accreditation standards. Our plan considers all local, state, and federal requirements and guidelines. It clearly identifies roles and responsibilities for each facility leader during an emergency.
Building-Level Plan
A specialized building emergency management plan that provides a structured framework to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies specific to a building’s environment, layout, and operations.
The guide is created using the guidelines and procedures established in the EOP and is customizable to specific customer needs.
Quick Action Guide
Our quick-reference Flip Charts, placed in every room, provide instant access to emergency protocols with color-coded sections and clear instructions. Designed for frontline staff, these guides equip employees with the steps needed to handle emergencies and ensure the safety of employees and visitors. Each Flip Chart follows the established guidelines and procedures outlined in the EOP.
How Emergency Operations Plans Work
To create an Emergency Operations Plan, we work directly with your organization’s administration and local public safety officials. Our team starts by conducting comprehensive site assessments of your facilities. Then, we analyze current protocols, identify vulnerabilities, and develop customized plans that address your specific needs.
After creating an Emergency Operations Plan for the organization as a whole, we outline emergency management plans for each building administrator. We then establish emergency response plans for frontline staff. This tiered approach ensures that users at each level of the organization have quick access to necessary information for safe and effective emergency response.

What Inspired Emergency Operations Plans








School emergencies demand swift, coordinated responses that protect students and staff. Without proper planning, confusion and delayed reactions can turn manageable situations into catastrophic events. Multi-level emergency plans provide clear, actionable protocols that eliminate guesswork and reduce response times.
The LockOut Co. team brings decades of security expertise to each Emergency Operations Plan we develop. We work alongside organizations to create, implement, and maintain these vital protocols, drawing from real-world experience and current best practices in facility safety.
These plans serve as the cornerstone of effective building security, transforming potential chaos into coordinated action. By equipping staff with clear protocols and confidence, Emergency Operations Plans create safer learning environments where educators can focus on their primary mission: teaching students.
