When an emergency happens, teachers are called upon to be leaders for their students and vital members of their school emergency response team.
For Teachers
Hour-Zero provides teachers with resources and training to succeed in their roles.
Teachers have a deep commitment to their students, as is evident in the countless number of selfless acts they undertake everyday.
Without question, part of this commitment involves having the ability, confidence and trust to deal with emergency situations.
