September Drill of the Month: FIRE DRILL

Team Shoreline,

We've done this drill many times, so "winning" this month should be as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1.  Principals (i.e. Incident Command) read the procedures for "Fire or Fire Alarm" in the SSD Emergency Preparedness Manual (page 60) and have your Staff to read the "Fire or Fire Alarm Procedure" from their classroom Emergency Flip Chart.

2.  Conduct a Fire Drill while filling in the NEW Drill Record Form:

• Side 1 - Drill Conditions: participation, statistics, weather and problems encountered.
• Side 2 - Drill Checklist: for evaluating Drill effectiveness.

3.  Email your Drill Record Form to me so I can record it in Rapid Responder.

For extra emergency preparedness:

• Contact your local Fire Department to have them on hand to observe.
  
• Have a section of your Building use an alternate evacuation route to the Student Assembly Area.

Questions??  Please don't hesitate to ask!
