This document provides information and instructions for an emergency drill at a school. It outlines several key points: - Annual emergency drills are important for students, teachers, and staff to know how to respond in an emergency. - During a drill, everyone must follow instructions carefully as improvising is not allowed. - Drills help practice and train for dangerous situations like fires to avoid harm. - The date of the drill will not be announced in advance, but a week's warning will be given that it is a simulation to prevent panic. Evacuation will last less than 10 minutes with minimal disruption to school activities.

1. EMERGENCY DRILL INFORMATION:
Every year we should carry out an
Emergency Drill to know what to do when an
emergency takes place.
 All of us should know what to do, students, teachers, clerks,
cleaners and other docent personnel.(G.G.T.).
 In a Drill, we cannot improvise. (A.A.J.).
 We should carry out fire drills, practicing and training to avoid
dangerous situations. (D. G.)
DON’T FORGET THAT:
 The School is not going to tell us the date that
they will carry out the drill. (A.J.R.)
 The School will warn us a week before the Simulation -we
should not panic-. (A.B.). The Centre will advise us a week
before the date. (A.L.R.).
 The evacuation will not last more than 10 minutes and the
school activities will not be interrupted for more than 30
minutes. (A.T.)
 You will hear the siren in very short intervals, of 3 seconds of
duration and one second of pause; it will last a minimum of 40
seconds. (E.J.R.).
GET READY TO MOVE:
 If you are in the toilets or out of the
classroom, please join closest the group that is leaving.
 Now outside, put yourself with your group and report to the
teacher.(J.B.R.).
 When you hear the siren, stop what you are doing and keep
calm.
 Follow the teacher’s instructions. (L.N.P.).
 Do not pick up personal objects, such as backpacks, books,
etc. (avoid being late and falling).(P.D.H.).

MOVE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION
 Leave the classroom in a row and quietly
( briskly and next to the wall).

 Don’t ever go back and don’t stop. (A.L.R.).
 Don’t use the lift. (M.D.C.A.).
 Help in all that you are asked: people with difficulties
or those who fall. (A.J.R.).
 Outside, you have to put yourself with the group to do
the headcount. (J.A. M.G.).
 You must do what your teacher says every time.
(M.N.P.)
 In case of sinking or explosion, go near the walls.
 If people need to go through smoke, cover your face
with something wet and go crouched at all time.
