This FREE, secure mobile app designed specifically for education agencies allows personnel to walk around buildings and grounds and examine their safety, security, accessibility, and emergency preparedness. Users select whether they are conducting a site assessment at a K-12 school or IHE and are directed to the section that is optimized for that setting according to its unique characteristics. SITE ASSESS generates a customized to-do list that may be used in the short term and long term to address facility improvements, prompts teams to share pertinent information with first responders, and contains relevant resources on several education facility and preparedness topics. The REMS TA Center developed this site assessment app to do the following:

• Capture images within and upload images directly into the app;
• Provide critical information about potential threats and hazards, which may be used by planning teams as they develop their site’s emergency operations plan;
• Allow teams to add customized questions to and delete preloaded questions from the site assessment for their use, thus taking into account state and local requirements;
• Export data into a Word document for record keeping and submission to leadership or into an Excel worksheet for data aggregation and analysis;
• Equip practitioners with information and knowledge about fundamental site assessment topics, such as Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and Universal Design;
• Collect information that will aid IHE personnel with fulfilling Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act  requirements; and
• Complement and support mitigation, prevention, protection, recovery, and response activities.
