FIRE If you are in class: • When alarm sounds, get quiet and follow the teacher’s instructions. • Evacuate to the assigned area on the basketball courts. • Move quickly and orderly to help us account for everyone on campus. • Never open hot doors during a fire. Before opening any door, touch the top to check for heat.

(under a desk or table) • If you are not able to duck under a table, sit or stand against an inside wall • Stay away from windows & heavy or breakable objects • Do not leave a building during an earthquake! • Wait until you are instructed to stand, and then evacuate to the designated evacuation area

5. EARTHQUAKE SAFETY TIPS • Trapped in a collapsed building? Protect your airway against dust and debris by breathing through clothing or material • Check yourself for injuries & control any bleeding. • Find a source of light if possible; and make your location known to rescuers by tapping on a solid object with a rock or other instrument. • Save your breath and energy. Delay yelling for help until you hear rescuers very nearby.

6. EARTHQUAKE Continued Outside of a classroom: • Move away from buildings & utility wires. • DUCK, COVER, & HOLD wherever possible until trembling ends. • Report directly to the basketball courts and line up with the teacher of the last class you attended.

15. RELEASING STUDENTS Runners will come for a student in the Assembly Area. • The requested student will accompany runner to release area. • If the student is missing, absent, or in first aid, note this on the runner form.

16.
