Because of the complex nature of assembling a basic plan, the assistance of those who work in different areas throughout the school will be needed. It is important to know the flow of activity that occurs in every area in addition to how it flows. For example, an incident might occur that takes the school s kitchen out of service at 9 a.m. A plan will have to take into consideration the flow of food preparation and how each of the steps in the process occurs.
