Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Facilities

 

The purpose of this project is to provide funding to States to develop comprehensive plans that address the specific needs of children, youth, and families involved in the justice system during an emergency. Specifically, the initiative supports implementation of the principles outlined in the OJJDP report, Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities (www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/ojjdp/234936.pdf). This report is targeted to state, county, and local juvenile justice authorities charged with the custodial care and supervision of youth in the juvenile justice system, with particular focus on those authorities who oversee residential treatment and correctional and detention facilities that house juveniles via court-ordered placements. The principles outlined in this document may also apply to emergency planning for youth in out-of-home placement. The performance measures associated with this objective are: PM 1: Number of new policies employed to address emergency preparedness gaps PM 2: Percentage of individuals with increased knowledge of facility emergency preparedness guidelines
