PREPAREDNESS<br />
It is also helpful to show the location of the fire alarm turnoff,<br />
fire sprinkler system turnoff, utility shutoff valves <strong>and</strong> switches,<br />
cable television shutoff, <strong>and</strong> first aid supply boxes. These<br />
items can be color-coded on the campus layout.<br />
Blueprint of School Buildings<br />
Architectural blueprints of the school building(s) are important<br />
to Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) teams, <strong>and</strong> provide<br />
additional – <strong>and</strong> more detailed – information other than the<br />
simple classroom layout diagram. This information may be<br />
critical, especially in the event of a bomb threat. The Principal<br />
for the school site should be the custodian for the blueprints.<br />
Grounds <strong>and</strong> maintenance staff of the school should be<br />
familiar with these blueprints <strong>and</strong> their location.<br />
Teacher/Employee Roster<br />
A teacher/employee roster should be included in the Go Kit. A<br />
classroom-layout diagram with teachers’ names should be<br />
included, if available. If not, be sure to match up each<br />
teacher’s name with his or her classroom <strong>and</strong> identify whether<br />
or not each teacher has a cell or l<strong>and</strong> phone. This roster<br />
should identify any teacher or employee with special medical<br />
needs (e.g., diabetes) who will require medications during a<br />
prolonged period, <strong>and</strong> individuals with a disability who may<br />
require assistance in an evacuation. Someone in the front<br />
office should be assigned to take the visitor/volunteer/<br />
substitute teacher list with him/her in the event of a critical<br />
incident.<br />
Keys<br />
The Go Kit should also contain a master key <strong>and</strong> an extra set<br />
of keys for those rooms for which a master key cannot be<br />
used. The keys must be clearly tagged. Consider placing the<br />
keys in a locked container within the Go Kit for added security<br />
