School Evacuation Drill Guidelines

Evacuation drills are an essential part of assuring student and staff safety during an emergency. Although COVID-19 has temporarily changed our building occupancy loads, it has not diminished the importance of continued practice. 

In fact, with alterations to indoor environments to accommodate social distancing requirements and the storage of additional personal protective equipment, such as bulk hand-sanitizer and cleaning supplies, evaluating and practicing evacuation procedures is more vital than ever.
