Abstract
This article addresses the importance of crisis management in educational institutions, highlighting it as a crucial priority on the agenda of school management. Throughout the study, practices and strategies for preparedness, response, and recovery in the face of adverse situations, such as natural disasters, incidents of violence, and pandemics, are explored. The analysis underscores the relevance of effective communication, competent leadership, and emotional support in building the resilience of the school community. The overall objective of this work is to critically examine crisis management approaches and provide recommendations for the implementation of effective plans that ensure the safety, educational continuity, and well-being of students and staff. By integrating these practices into the school board's agenda, institutions will be better prepared to face unforeseen challenges, strengthening their responsiveness and adaptability in the face of emerging crises. This study highlights the need for a proactive and integrated approach to crisis management, which includes staff training, transparent communication, empowered leadership, and emotional support. By adopting preventive measures and long-term strategies, schools can build a culture of preparedness and resilience that benefits the entire school community. Thus, investment in crisis management not only protects the lives and well-being of those involved, but also strengthens the foundations for quality and sustainable education in an ever-changing world.
