The document proposes a new fire evacuation plan for LCHS to address issues with the current plan. The new plan designates multiple exits around campus including gates by the tennis courts and football stadium. Students and faculty will evacuate to three gathering areas - the football field, baseball field, and front lawn by the school sign. At the gathering areas, evacuees will be spread out according to which building they exited from to reduce crowding. The plan aims to make evacuations safer, faster and better organized through clear communication of the new routes and locations.

2. The Plan Now..
• As of now, the fire evacuation plan is not safe,
speedy, or organized.
• Acting as a human factors engineer with the
job of redesigning this exit plan, I feel as if I
have come up with a much better route as to
which the students and faculty at LCHS should
take in order to fix all three of these issues.

3. Locations:
• As of now, there are two places people are being sent,
the football field and baseball field.
• The new plan will keep these two places and add the
area in the front where the LCHS sign is.
• Also, it will make use of the gate by the tennis courts,
the left side gate under the home stands, the left and
right main entrance gates where the concession stands
are, and the gate near the dumpster.
• On the football field, classes will have designated areas
to report to in order to spread out and avoid hectic
collisions.

5. Front:
• The left side of the career counseling building
upstairs and downstairs will exit out and onto
the grassy area in the front where the LCHS
sign is.
• Adding this area, even for a smaller amount of
people, will eliminate some problems with
speed and safety because they can quickly get
here, and will not be in the way of other
people.

7. Football Field:
• Furthest gate by tennis courts: Main gym and
physical plant
• Next gate that enters under home stands:
Packard gym and upstairs core curriculum
building
• Gate left side of concession stand: Academic wing
• Gate right side of concession stand: Admin
building
• Gate by dumpsters: Band/Arts and Auditorium

8. Football Field Organization
• With the plan as is, there are many students all
clustered in one central area on the football field.
• The new design will spread these students out based
on what building they are coming from.
• Main gym and physical plant: Onto field in front of
McCracken field
• Packard gym and upstairs core curriculum building: Into
home stadium stands
• Admin building: Onto field on side of concession stand
• Band/Arts and Auditorium: Picnic table area/track

19. Baseball field:
• Brick entrance in front: Ag Science,
Industrial Tech/ROTC
• Side gate: Right side of career counseling,
and cafeteria if necessary

24. How this plan will be effective..
• This new plan will be able to take place once the
students are aware of how much more safe they
will be.
• In order for students to know where to go with
the new locations, teachers will have to ensure
their students know exactly what their new
designated location is.
• During a fire/fire drill, teachers in planning period
should be in charge of helping students around
them in the right direction.
