School Emergency Protocols and Responses

What is the purpose of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP)?

• To provide simple actions for school emergencies.

• To ensure adults have a plan for school incidents.

• To help students understand what to do during emergencies.

• All of the above.

During a "Hold" action, what is the primary instruction for students in a classroom?

• Evacuate the building immediately.

• Stay in your classroom, even if the bell rings.

• Go to the nearest exit.

• Gather in the hallway.

What is the main reason for a "Secure" action?

• Something dangerous is happening inside the school.

• There is an external threat in the neighborhood near the school.

• A fire alarm has been activated.

• Students need to be moved to a different location.

During a "Lockdown" action, what should students do with their electronic devices?

• Use them to text friends and post on social media.

• Keep them on loud to hear announcements.

• Silence them and turn off data/Wi-Fi.

• Use them to call emergency services directly.

If you are in a "Lockdown" and someone claims to be the police asking to open the door, what should you do?

• Open the door immediately to let them in.

• Verify their identity through the door.

• Do not open the door for anyone unless an administrator or police officer unlocks and opens it.

• Shout through the door to ask for their badge number.

What is an important consideration if a fire alarm sounds during a "Lockdown"?

• Immediately evacuate the building through the nearest exit.

• Stay put unless there is an actual fire in the room.

• Assume it's a drill and ignore it.

• Open the classroom door to check the hallway.

When "Evacuating" to a secure assembly area, what should students expect from law enforcement?

• They will be quiet and allow students to pass without interaction.

• They might be loud and search students to ensure safety.

• They will help students retrieve their belongings from classrooms.

• They will direct students to call their parents immediately.

What is the key takeaway from the personal story shared by the student at the end of the video?

• School emergencies are rare and unlikely to happen.

• It's important for students to have a plan and options for emergencies.

• Only adults need to have a plan for school safety.

• Students should rely solely on their teachers during emergencies.
