#mustangSAFE is a multi-faceted response plan that affects all Nixon-Smiley CISD facilities and departments. The program includes a number of initiatives aimed at fortifying buildings, ensuring regular training, communication and increasing staff and public awareness.

This culture embraces a strong preparedness strategy that focuses on preventing and preparing for emergencies of all kinds that could affect the district. It is designed to ensure an effective and efficient response and recovery.

Because no two schools or district facilities are the same, no generic plan or manual will provide all of the necessary information to mitigate the effects of every situation.

The district conducts different types of drills throughout the year. They include:
