4. Notify Principal, or his/her designee, of any special needs of students and<br />

their requirements.<br />

The first choice for a shelter during a building site evacuation is another building<br />

designated by the school district, county or other local authority. Once staff and<br />

students have arrived at the host site, the following steps should be taken:<br />

1. Notify school nurse or local medical personnel of any medical<br />

emergencies.<br />

2. Consider how students will be fed and restroom needs met.<br />

3. Activate crisis intervention team to deal with any emotional trauma.<br />

4. Provide area and materials for parents who may arrive to pick up students.<br />

5. Provide an area for non-school community evacuees.<br />

C. Floor Plan<br />

A floor plan of the school site buildings and grounds, which indicates the location<br />

of all exits, utility shut-offs, fire extinguishers, and emergency equipment and<br />

supplies, will be maintained and updated, as necessary. The floor plan should<br />

also indicate outdoor assembly area(s) and evacuation route(s) from the site.<br />

A copy of the floor plan will be posted in each classroom at the school, in the<br />

school hallway and at the school's main office. Staff should familiarize<br />

themselves with the contents of the floor plan and with evacuation procedures.<br />

D. Fire Drills<br />

The school shall conduct fire drills on a regular basis to prepare for possible<br />

evacuation in case of an emergency. The <strong>School</strong> Principal, or his/her designee,<br />

will specify the date and time of fire drills.<br />

Fire drills will be conducted on a monthly basis. Earthquake "drop and cover"<br />

drills will be conducted once per quarter. All students and staff are required to<br />

participate in these mandated drills.<br />

The <strong>School</strong> Principal, or his/her designee, will designate an outdoor assembly<br />

area(s) where students and staff will gather whenever the building is evacuated.<br />

Unless instructed otherwise by public safety officials, students and staff will<br />

gather by class and attendance will be taken. The names of any missing<br />

individuals will be relayed to search and rescue teams and public safety officials.<br />
