In case of a crisis, these pages will:
* Provide current information and resources regarding the college transition process for member institutions as well as students and families
* Create an online bulletin board that could be used by members and affiliates to post problems being experienced in different parts of the country that might affect students’ and counselors’ abilities to meet deadlines
* Post changes to any NACAC policies affected by a crisis
* Provide an online resource center for affected counselors to list their contact information during an emergency
* Identify centralized resources that could provide information about how institutions are handling displaced students from both the secondary and post-secondary sides.
In addition:
* NACAC will alert members of changing policies and other crisis related information through e-broadcasts or other online communications, such as the NACAC online Bulletin and Elist
* The ad hoc committee developed Emergency Planning Considerations for Schools
