The Torrance Unified School District has a comprehensive plan for the care of students during emergency situations. Disaster preparedness is one of the top priorities in the District. At the beginning of each year, parents are required to supply a personal Emergency Kit (in a gallon Ziploc type bag) for each child. Please label the bag with your child's name, teacher and room number.
