Logic modeling as a tool to prepare to evaluate disaster and emergency preparedness, response, and recovery in schools

Abstract The authors propose a comprehensive evaluation framework to prepare for evaluating school emergency management programs. This framework involves a logic model that incorporates Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures as a foundation for comprehensive evaluation that complements performance monitoring used by the U.S. Department of Education as part of its Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) grant program. A sample logic model for school emergency management is provided that can be adapted and tailored for use in local evaluations by any school district or school. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc., and the American Evaluation Association.
