We encourage schools to review and develop more comprehensive policies that include
traditional earthquake and fire drills and practices, school
evacuation plans, lock down procedures, a communications
plan for parents, as well as internal schoolwide alarms or bell systems.
Most
traditional domestic health insurance
plans limit coverage for out of country medical expenses to emergency - related costs, have high deductibles and co-pays for emergency treatment abroad; and don't cover out - of - country emergency medical transportation in cases of life threatening illness where medical
evacuation may be required.
