Safety and Security
Fire

• Fire Emergencies are signaled by the built-in fire alarm.   Team Lead calls 911.
• 
  
  • Classes exit the building at the nearest clear exit (per map) and gather at the basketball court. TAKE YOUR CLIPBOARD.
  • Parents will pick up their children at the basketball court.
  • Call 911 for injuries
  • Desk person makes sure double doors are closed and goes to the nursery to assist.
  • Team Lead checks rooms to insure evacuation.

Fire extinguishers are located: 1)by the men’s bathroom in the hub.  2)in the new hall by the games table. 3)in the Kid’s barn near the double exit door
Tornado

• In the case of Tornado or severe weather sirens will go off and we will get alerts on our phones.  
• Children will be moved to the tornado shelter in the Kids’ Preschool hall.  Children are instructed to sit with legs crossed, facing the wall, head down and arms covering ears and eyes.
• TAKE YOUR CLIPBOARD.

Evacuation/Active Shooter

• In the event that a violent intruder/active shooter enters the building the first response should be to get yourself and the children in your class out of the building and away from the danger.  Air horns are located at the check-in desk, the kids ministry office, in the barn and in the main church office.  Air horns will be sounded as soon as an intruder is spotted.  
  • Classes will evacuate to the basketball court, hide behind the trees/hill.  TAKE YOUR CLIPBOARD.  
  • If you can not evacuate, SHUT THE DOOR ASAP.  Lock the door and use the door stop beside the door to barricade the door.  Your hiding place should be out of the shooter's view.  Silence your cell phone. If you can safely speak without drawing attention, call 911. If you cannot speak, leave the line open and allow the dispatcher to listen. 
  • As a last resort if you are in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter by acting with physical aggression. Improvise weapons and throw items such as fire extinguishers, chairs, or heavy items.
  • When given the “all clear”, release children to parents that have come down to the courts or go back to your classroom.  
  • If parents come to the basketball court to get their child, they should be encouraged (not forced) to stay and hide with the class until the “all clear” is given.

Medical Emergency

• Lead Teacher will take control and ask someone to call 911. 
  • Assistant will remove the rest of the children from the area
  • Assistant will call for help from the person at the desk.  They will call for security to assist in finding a nurse/doctor and flagging down the ambulance and bringing the paramedics to the child.

Bp cuff, pulse oximeter(oxygen sensor), first aid kit, and thermometers are available in the preschool halls resource room.
