In this resource, the U.S Department of Education's Office of Safe and Healthy Students Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center (REMS-TAC) provides guidance on information-sharing in the emergency planning process as it relates to federal statutes. Laws discussed include: Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and others. REMS-TAC encourages schools to review laws that apply in your jurisdiction and ensure that employees, contractors, and other partners have a strong understanding of how each statute applies.
