An IEMP is an invaluable adjunct to the IHCP, with step by step instructions for student care during an emergency. Implementation of a 504 plan is essential in ensuring compliance with the relevant provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 The EIF form provides a clear, consistent record of emergency information that can be filed with all care providers and in places where the student spends time Illinois EMSC
