Fire
Drill
-
The state law
requires all schools to have fire drills. Fire drills are intended for
the safety of all concerned and every drill should be carried out as if it
were a real emergency. There should be no running, but all persons are to
move quickly and quietly to their point of safety away from
the building and remain quiet while awaiting further instruction.
-
Teachers shall
instruct each of their classes as to the evacuation procedures from the
particular classroom.
-
The fire alarm signal
is a continuous sounding of the alarm. When an alarm sounds, the teacher
shall instruct students to leave the building according to the evacuating
instructions.
-
If the fire alarm
sounds during a passing period, all persons should proceed to the nearest
exit and continue on the sidewalk to a point of safety clear of the
building.
Civil
Defense Drills
Civil defense drills
are designed to move all personnel to "safety areas" of the building
in the event of a severe storm warning or similar emergency. The safety
areas of the building include the ground floors of the gymnasiums
(excluding the main floor areas and the pool), the tunnel area, the
library, and the ground floor of the Purple wing (Rooms P-13 to P-45.
When insufficient time
is available to move to safety areas, instructions will be passed by the
intercom or messenger to move as follows:
-
Ground floor classes
in Purple Wing (Rooms P-13 to P-45) are to stay in the classrooms.
-
Students in physical
education classes are to proceed to locker and shower rooms
-
Students in all other
classes are to proceed to halls, avoiding areas near outside and classroom
doors (where classrooms have outside windows) and crouch against a south
or west wall shielding the face as much as possible.
