🔥Mass Shootings and Fire Alarm Response 🔥

Most schools are equipped with fire alarm panels that provide crucial information about the location of any activation. Here are some key considerations:

1. Action: Designating a responsible individual, typically the person closest to the alarm panel, to swiftly assess the location of the activation.

2. Communication: Once the location is identified, communicate that with individuals in that area or maintenance personnel to confirm the alarm.

3. Protective Measures: Simultaneously, teachers should close classroom doors and line up the children. Closing the doors shields them from smoke and heat but also prepares them for potential lockdown procedures if necessary. Once the alarm is confirmed they follow the policy.

4. Practice: Regular fire drills are vital for familiarizing staff with the response plan. Having backup personnel trained and ready ensures seamless execution during emergencies.

By implementing these strategies and consistently practicing fire safety protocols, schools can effectively mitigate risks and ensure the safety of students and staff alike. For more information on safety visit www.thisisg.us Training Saves Lives.
