Emergency Preparedness and Safety Drills at Wilson School

 
School Safety
 
Purposes:
To acquaint students with actions they can take during an
emergency to minimize harm to themselves
To help students understand and practice emergency safety
drills at Wilson
 
YOUR SAFETY
 
 
The primary—that means the most important—
responsibility of the teachers and staff here at
Wilson is to make sure that each and every one of
our students is SAFE from the minute you arrive at
school until you leave.
 
 
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
 
 
Because everyone at Wilson is dedicated to your
safety, we occasionally have drills.
 
 
Drills are a way for both teachers and students to
practice what we should do if an emergency arises.
 
 
We practice because PRACTICE MAKES
PERFECT. If something unfortunate does happen in
school, we will have practiced and we will be
prepared.
 
TYPES OF DRILLS
 
We have five types of drills:
 
FIRE DRILL (Evacuation)
EARTHQUAKE (Duck-Cover-Hold On)
LOCKDOWN
LOCKOUT
TEAM RESPONSE
 
 
FIRE DRILLS
 
 
Why do we have fire drills?
 
 
Do you think that fire drills are a waste of time?
Why?
 
U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 4,980 structure
fires in educational properties in 2011–2015, annually. These fires caused
annual averages of one civilian death, 70 civilian injuries, and $70 million in
direct property damage.
 
Nearly seven in ten of the fires in educational properties (69%) occurred in
nursery, elementary, middle, or high schools. The remaining educational
property fires were reported in college classrooms and adult education
centers (13%), day care centers (11%), or unclassified or unknown education
properties (6%).
 
FIRE DRILL PROCEDURE
 
How should students look during a fire drill? What
should students be doing?
 
The fire drill is a way for students and staff alike to
practice a successful evacuation of the building in
case there is a fire.
 
EVERY SECOND COUNTS. Fire can move very
quickly, and oftentimes smoke is more harmful
than fire. To ensure the safety of everyone, we
need to PRACTICE UNTIL WE ARE PERFECT.
Did you know?
 
Initiating a false fire alarm is a Class A misdemeanor in
Oregon
 
EARTHQUAKE DRILLS

Nearly 17,000 earthquakes of magnitude 1.0 to 6.0
have been recorded in Oregon and Washington
since 1970. About 15-20 quakes a year are felt in
the Northwest. Earthquakes are usually felt if they
are at least magnitude 3 to 4.
 
EARTHQUAKE DRILL
PROCEDURE
 
How should students look during a earthquake
drill? What should students be doing?
 
LOCKDOWN DRILLS
 
 
 
A lockdown is activated when there is a threat inside
the school building. Students should immediately
move away from the threat. Get to a safe classroom,
or get away from the school if possible. Stay quiet
and out of sight. Teachers should immediately bring
students into the classroom and lock the door, cover
the windows and maintain silence. Teachers should
not open the door for anyone except school
administration or first responders who will have keys
to access the room.

This is where situational awareness must come into play. 
Move away
from the threat
. Proceed to the safest place possible off campus; a
home, a business, Reike Elementary. Then, let someone know that
you are away from the threat and safe.
 
Information may be sent to classrooms through email or text
message, but teachers should not open the door or break their
silence if lockdown occurs. Staff or police will clear every room!
 
If you end up in an unusual place on campus, you should
communicate your location and circumstances via text message
to school officials. Using text messages is a good way to
communicate injuries or other circumstances during a lockdown
to the principal or other staff.
 
LOCKOUT DRILLS
 
 
 
A lockout is activated when there is an unsafe
situation outside the school building or in the
surrounding neighborhood. Staff are assigned to
secure the exterior doors. Students remain in the
building (even if school lets out) and teaching
proceeds as usual until the problem is resolved.
 
Information about the situation may be
delivered by VOIP, email or in person.
 
LOCKOUT DRILL PROCEDURE
 
 
TEAM RESPONSE DRILLS
 
 
 
A team response is activated when there is a
medical emergency or some other non-threatening
incident occurs that requires staff to control
movement inside the school. Students will be
returned or directed back to their classrooms. Inside
classrooms teachers will continue class and hold
students in place until further information is
provided.
 
Information about the situation may be
delivered by VOIP, email or in person.
 
TEAM RESPONSE DRILL
PROCEDURE
 
 
Students have a role in helping to maintain
Wilson as a safe place. We expect students to
communicate any perceived safety concerns to
school administrators and report threats to
school safety made by students or others
without hesitation.

  8. EARTHQUAKE DRILLS Why do we have earthquake drills? During a damaging earthquake, life protecting actions must be taken immediately. There will not be time to decide what to do next; everyone must already know how to react appropriately. Nearly 17,000 earthquakes of magnitude 1.0 to 6.0 have been recorded in Oregon and Washington since 1970. About 15-20 quakes a year are felt in the Northwest. Earthquakes are usually felt if they are at least magnitude 3 to 4.

  11. LOCKDOWN DRILL PROCEDURE

  12. What should you do if you are outside, in a hallway/ restroom, tutor time/lunch/passing when a lockdown occurs? This is where situational awareness must come into play. Move away from the threat. Proceed to the safest place possible off campus; a home, a business, Reike Elementary. Then, let someone know that you are away from the threat and safe. Information may be sent to classrooms through email or text message, but teachers should not open the door or break their silence if lockdown occurs. Staff or police will clear every room!
