Prepared Warriors Respond

Why do we practice safety procedures at school?

• Because emergencies happen every day
• So students and staff know what to do before they need it
• Because drills are not important
• So students can take a break from class

During any safety situation, your first responsibility is to:

• Find your friends
• Record what is happening
• Stay calm, listen, and follow procedures
• Guess what is happening

What does it mean to be prepared?

• Being scared something will happen
• Ignoring safety information because you already know it
• Knowing your role and understanding what to do
• Waiting for someone else to pay attention

Which action demonstrates the Warrior Way during any safety situation?

• Staying calm and following directions
• Making jokes during drills
• Sharing rumors
• Ignoring instructions

The purpose of a fire evacuation is to:

• Leave quickly and never return
• Exit safely and make sure everyone is accounted for
• Meet up with your friends outside
• Practice leaving class early

If you are in the hallway when a fire alarm sounds, you should:

• Go back to class first
• Look for your friends
• Use the closest safe exit and report to staff
• Wait in the hallway

During a fire evacuation, students should avoid:

• Staying with their group
• Listening to staff
• Going back for personal belongings
• Moving away from the building

Why is staying with your group important after evacuating?

• So you can socialize
• So staff can account for everyone
• So the drill ends faster
• So you do not have to return to class

The goal during a tornado/severe weather drill is to:

• Leave the school building
• Move to the safest location and protect yourself
• Stay near windows to watch
• Continue normal activities

During severe weather, we avoid windows because:

• They are distracting
• They make rooms colder
• Glass and debris can become dangerous
• Teachers cannot supervise there
