Schools are places where it is extra important to prepare for emergencies. Practicing for a fire or a tornado are commonplace things for schools, with surprise fire drills and tornado drills being a standard part of the school year. Other things that should be standard in schools to prepare for a disaster are emergency kits. These can be customized to respond to natural disasters that your part of the country is most likely to deal with. The basic idea is that it will contain first aid supplies to respond to minor medical emergencies. In a school that can have long hallways and multiple floors, having an emergency kit in each and every classroom can save valuable time when it is really needed. So go ahead and along with your tornado drill, put an emergency kit into every classroom so that everyone will be prepared in the event of a disaster.
