Macomb County Emergency Management, in partnership with the Macomb County Intermediate School District (MISD), receives grant funding through the School Violence Prevention Program. The cooperative grant provides funding for school safety coordinators who work directly with local school districts, law enforcement, fire and other public health and safety providers to enhance school safety efforts within the County.
School safety coordinators use evidence-based school safety programs and national, state and local guidance to ensure that methodologies, tools and plans are current and can be utilized across the county. Planned initiatives include
- School threat and vulnerability assessments
- Emergency operations and response plan coordination
- Mental health training
- Conduct drills, exercises and public awareness education

If there are any changes to your reported drill schedule, please click the link above.
Public Act 12 of 2014 only allows for a drill date to be changed when a scheduled drill could not occur due to conditions not within the control of school authorities such as severe storms, fires, epidemics, utility power unavailability, water or sewer failure, or a health condition as defined by the County or state health authorities. In this situation, the drill must be rescheduled to occur within 10 school days after the original scheduled date of the cancelled drill. The chief administrator of the district must notify the Macomb County Emergency Management coordinator of the rescheduled drill date. Any changes that need to be made after the closing date of the reporting form will be made utilizing the school drill schedule change notification form.
