Earthquakes
- In the event of an earthquake, have students move away from windows and immediately:
- DROP! (to the floor)
- DUCK! (beneath table, desk, door frame)
- COVER! (head with arms. Remain in covered position until the quaking stops. Students need to stay covered until an adult gives further directions).
- When the earthquake has subsided, check for injuries, apply first aid, get assistance.
- Assess the situation and evacuate as appropriate.
- The custodian should check the gas, electricity, and water. Custodian should do a quick analysis of the building structure and report to principal or designee.
- Teachers should call roll. A list of absent students and a note to their possible location should be sent to the attendance secretaries.
