Set Drill Requirements

You can manage yearly district requirements, schedule drills, manage reminders, log drill information, search for specific drills, keep statistics, and print out completed forms all in your Navigate360 Emergency Management site. 

From the Dashboard, go to the Drill Logs page. The first thing you need to do for the school year is set up your district drill requirements. 

1). To do so, select Drill Log Settings.

2). Select Manage District Drill Requirements.

3). You will then choose the school year you wish to set

4). Depending on your state requirements, the corresponding drill types will be listed to Activate. 

Fill in the required amounts and be sure to hit the save button. You can always go back and make edits to these requirements when needed. 

Add extra drill types by using the drop-down menu, select the drill, and click Add Drill Type.

5). Selecting View/Edit Required Fields under each drill allows you to edit the information to be recorded for that drill.

6). The Change Required Fields box illustrates all of the different fields that can be added for that particular drill type. This is information that users will log for a drill when entering them into the Emergency Management System. Items may already be checked and grayed out (based on requirements, these cannot be unselected), but you can check and uncheck other items as necessary.

7). Click Save.

Users on the list to receive reminders will get email notifications sent 3 days before a scheduled drill date, as well as the day after as a reminder to log the drill or reschedule the date.

Tracking Drills

On the main Drill Logs page you will be able to see upcoming scheduled drills for the next 30 days. It will show the building, the drill type, the scheduled date, and in how many days it’s due.

Enter information and click Post Log. This saves the information you entered and marks the drill as being complete.
