This plan was developed in cooperation with Federal and State guidelines with teacher assistance. The plan includes specific courses of action to be taken in case an emergency situation develops. Each employee of Liberty Elementary School and the Liberty Elementary Educational Foundation is expected to become familiar with this plan in order to carry out his/her responsibilities in an emergency. California law declares that all public employees are civil defense workers subject to such civilian defense activities as may be assigned to them by their supervisors or by law. The major objective of emergency preparedness is to save lives and protect property in the event of a disaster. This plan has developed with this in mind. Hazard Identification The information in this section is intended to help identify potential hazards on campus. MAINTENANCE/CUSTODIAN should know all of these items, and the rest of the staff should be certain of the classrooms items and make an effort to understand as much of the list as they can. Familiarize yourself with the location of the following: Main shut-off valves for water and gas First-aid equipment Electrical power switches Outside water faucets/hoses Stoves; heating/air conditioning equipment Power Lines Materials stored by custodians Sewer Lines Fire extinguishers Underground gas lines Within classrooms, consider the following guiding questions: Do you know how to dial 911 from classroom phones? Are free-standing cabinets, bookcases, and wall shelves secured? Are heavy objects removed from high shelves and above cabinets? Are aquariums and other potentially hazardous displays located away from seating areas? Is the TV securely attached to a portable rolling cart with locking wheels? If the TV is on a shelf, is it securely attached to the shelf? 5 Are the wall-mounted objects (clocks, maps, etc.) secured? Do students know the Duck and Cover Drill? Throughout the school, be able to identify potential hazards noted below: Are toxic, corrosive, and flammable materials stored securely? Are warning signs posted in areas housing hazardous materials? Are appliances (e.g., water heaters) anchored securely? Are fire extinguishers checked annually? Are office filing cabinets secured? Do file drawers have adequate latches to prevent contents from spilling? Are light fixtures adequately supported? Do building exit routes pass through corridors (supporting columns may fall/roof overhangs may sag or fall)? Be aware of potential hazards in the surrounding neighborhood: High voltage power lines Transportation routes of vehicles carrying hazardous material (highway; railroad tracks) Major underground gas and all pipelines Transformers Hazardous materials Generalized Chain of Command Each type of emergency has its own appropriate response; however, the size of the staff of our school dictates that in most situations the same people will have roughly the same responsibilities. Liberty Elementary Educational Foundation Preschool and Kid’s Club (Before and After School Program) will follow the same guidelines and procedures for each potential emergency. However, the Generalized Chain of Command during Preschool and Kid’s Club Hours will be as follows: Superintendent/Principal = Business Manager (Kids Club) and Preschool Director Vice Principal/Secretary/Business Manager/Health Aide = Business Manager (Kids Club) and Preschool Director Superintendent/Principal Evaluate overall campus condition. Responsible for all decisions in an emergency, but will delegate as appropriate. Make the decision to direct Vice Principal to call 911 and other appropriate agencies. Ensures evacuated students/teachers are safe. Makes the decision to send students home when appropriate. Accounts for student attendance with secretary. When safe, rings bell to return teachers/students back to their classrooms.
