Emergency procedures and drills for school staff
Emergency Response Guide
Scan the code by any classroom door to see exactly what to do: the steps for each emergency, who’s on first aid tonight, and the way out from that room.

The school’s emergency plan lived in a binder in the front office. Many instructors teach part-time or in the evening, the first aid attendant changes from shift to shift, and nobody reaches for a binder in the first minute of an emergency.
Now every room has a code by the door. An evening instructor in Room 204 scans it and sees large, one-tap steps for a fire, a medical emergency, an earthquake or a lockdown — with the nearest exit, the nearest AED and tonight’s first aid attendant already filled in for that room.
The goal
Anyone, on any shift, knows what to do in the first five minutes.
Your room, your way out
Each room has its own map: the main route, a second route if the first is blocked, where the AED and extinguishers are, and where anyone who can’t use the stairs should wait for help.
Short drills that ask for decisions
Ten-minute practice scenarios start in the learner’s own room and pause at the moments that matter, like smoke in a stairwell or a student who can’t use the stairs.
Who’s on duty, and who’s trained
The office sets the first aid attendant and floor wardens for each shift, logs every drill with its evacuation time, and sees who is due for a refresher.
Staff find the right steps in seconds, from their own room
Evening and part-time staff get the same orientation as everyone else
