Color-coded hallways, doors and windows coming to St. Louis County schools
St. Louis County schools are implementing a new emergency preparedness code to aid first responders in navigating school campuses during emergencies such as active shooters, natural disasters, fires, and medical issues. The code includes large, color-coded labels on all exterior doors and windows, which correspond to indoor signs on the floor and intersections. The code also calls for a minimum height of 4 inches for all indoor numbers and 6 inches for all exterior numbers to ensure visibility from a distance.
