Hays County hosts reunification training for local law enforcement, school staff

Hays County law enforcement, school administrators and staff took part in reunification training this week.

The Hays County Standard Response Protocol Task Force brought in the I Love U Guys Foundation to go through its Standard Reunification Method (SRP) - Reunification Exercise through a sponsorship from Austin Regional Intelligence Center.

Reunification takes place when school staff and local emergency responders reunify parents and guardians with their students after an incident requires evacuation from facilities and schools. I Love U Guys Foundation Executive Director John-Michael Keyes said the Standard Reunification Method is based on five actions — hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate and shelter.
