BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON SCHOOL EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS Currently there are standards that every school and state has to go by. Recently there has been talk of improving these standards. The emergency evacuations in schools are sometimes not taken as important as other aspects of schools. Emergency evacuations are important for the kids and staff of schools. The emergency evacuations are being controlled and there are new standards being talked about and in the near future will hopefully be enforced.

7 KEYS PIECES OF GENERAL INFORMATION ON EMERGENCY EVACUATION 1.Schools should have updated evacuation plans. 2.Schools need to inform staff and students of exists. 3.Teachers need to make sure they head count before leaving the building and before entering again. 4.Schools should inform parents of the safety concerning evacuation plans for their child's schools. 5.Students should be aware of the tasks they need to complete when there is an emergency or drill happening. 6.Teachers should have walky talkies to be able to contact other staff when doing drills or actual plans. 7.All staff and students should be unaware of the drills, so they don't know if it's real or not.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What do you think needs to be done in school evacuation drills? 2. What do you think schools need to improve on to have better results from the evacuations?
