• Earthquakes:<br />

Earthquakes strike without warning, and the major shock is usually followed by<br />

numerous after shocks, which may last for weeks or months. An earthquake's<br />

effect on buildings will vary from building to building.<br />

The major threat of injury during an earthquake is from falling objects and debris,<br />

and many injuries are sustained while entering or leaving buildings. Therefore, it<br />

is important to remain inside the building and quickly move away from windows,<br />

glass, partitions and shelves. In the case of an earthquake, the following<br />

procedures should be followed:<br />

1. Take cover under a sturdy desk or table, in a doorway, or against an<br />

inside wall until the shaking stops. Give DROP AND COVER command.<br />

2. After shaking stops, check for injuries, and render first aid.<br />

3. If ordered by Executive Director, or his/her designee, evacuate.<br />

4. Do not return to building.<br />

5. Do not light any fires.<br />

6. Keep a safe distance from any downed power lines.<br />

7. Check attendance whether or not evacuation takes place. Report any<br />

missing students to Executive Director, or his/her designee.<br />

8. Stay alert for aftershocks.<br />

9. Beware that shaking may activate fire alarm or sprinkler systems.<br />

10.Elevators and stairways will need to be inspected for damage before they<br />

can be used.<br />

11.Executive Director, or his/her designee, will issue further instructions.<br />

• Assaults:<br />

Assaults involve acts of striking or inflicting injury to a person and are regarded<br />

as serious matters. Any threat or assault on students or employees should be<br />

reported immediately to the <strong>School</strong> Principal, or his/her designee. The <strong>School</strong><br />

Principal (or designee) will determine if law enforcement officials should be<br />

notified.<br />

If a serious assault occurs:<br />

1. Dial 911.<br />

2. Seek first aid or medical attention, if indicated.<br />
