Thank you to everyone who participated in our focus groups and survey and provided feedback on campus and community security, crisis response, and protocols. The result is an actionable plan that unites the message and crisis response plans of our Jewish communal organizations in the Akron area.

The next step in the process is to conduct training sessions for each organization on how to stay connected and respond promptly and effectively when communication efforts are needed. A state-of-the-art emergency notification and communication system (SCNAlert) has been acquired through the Secure Community Network and will be implemented as part of the process.

The Jewish Akron crisis communications plan is made possible through JCBA’s annual campaign. Because of you, when bigotry and antisemitism strike, we are committed to being ready, powering even more of whatever is needed in response. Give today at www.jewishakron.org/annual-campaign.
