Every classroom, ready in seconds
When an emergency hits, teachers respond with whatever is already in the room. The Classroom Survival Backpack puts practical supplies within reach for the first critical hours.
Why classroom preparedness matters
In a natural disaster, schools often respond immediately with limited outside support. The first hours rely on what is already onsite, whether that means sheltering in place, managing a lockdown, or evacuating with little warning.
Most schools have a plan. Not every classroom has the supplies on hand to back that plan up on the day it counts.
Choose your level of preparedness
A backpack for every classroom, and a locker for the whole school.
Classroom Survival Backpack
