1. Emergency plans including fire,
tornado, hostage, and loss of
power situations for groups.
By: Group 4

2. Fire Safety for Everyone (in groups)
• Apply proper procedures for storage, handling,
transportation, and fire control involving hazardous
materials. Montgomery (Montgomery, 2013)
• Make time for inspections of proper officials
• Practice the “fire drill”
“Managing a large group of students during a fire is a
challenge that must be addressed in advance through
preparation and planning. Regular fire drills at schools are
one way to assure that things will run smoothly in the event
a real fire strikes your building (eHow Contributor, 2013).”

3. In case of a tornado…
• For younger children make sure they understand what
is going on, without upsetting or panicking them
(Tornado lesson plan, 2013). Prior understanding of
tornadoes, and drills will prevent these types of
situations from happening.
• Make sure everyone reaches an enclosed area without
windows.
• Follow all laws and codes in the area.

4. Hostage or Unidentified Person
Situation
• Active coordination with local law enforcement
will give you a better idea of the vulnerability of
your facility to terrorist attack and law
enforcement’s role in the response to suspicious
activity.(Pennsylvania, pg 22-23, 2009)
• Stay vigilante, and look out for suspicious people
hanging around for no reason.

5. Power Outage
Preparation
“a) Identify the possible effects that the loss of each utility may have on the
facility. As an example, loss of electricity might affect the heating and
cooling system.
b) Keep an accurate blueprint of all utility lines and pipes associated with the
facility and grounds.
c) Develop procedures for an emergency shutdown of utilities.
d) Maintain a list of phone numbers, including night and day emergency
reporting and repair services, of all serving utility companies.
Response
(1) Notify the electric company.
(2) Notify the maintenance staff.
(3) If there is a danger of fire, evacuate the facility.
(4) If an electrical short is suspected, turn off power at the main control
point. (Pennsylvania, pg 21, 2009)”
