That's not strictly true. I've worked in the administration of two schools (yes, both were federal aid recipients) and saw no such information or plans at either - and I worked in a department that would HAVE to know the policies and procedures. I think the reality is that a lot of schools are woefully unprepared for emergencies. This was something that made me quite anxious until I left.
I'm not saying that the schools shouldn't have these plans ready for execution or that they aren't required by law - just that some don't.
EDIT: Also, I'm rereading that email. I wish that we had things like that at the schools where I worked. However, from the email, it appears that the lockdown alarm at your institution would have been new. I'm sure you have information that is more accurate, having actually worked there.
