Emergency Evacuation

If the fire alarm sounds, students are to evacuate the building IMMEDIATELY, following the instructions below:

  1. If your door is hot to the touch, DO NOT OPEN IT.
    *Roll up a towel and place it at the base of the door to prevent smoke penetration.
    *Go to the window and crawl through or crack it open. Stay there until help arrives. Do not jump from an upstairs window unless it is the last resort.
  2. If the door is cool, open it slowly. Proceed down the hall to the nearest exit. If the hall is filled with smoke, stay low to the floor and crawl to the nearest emergency exit.
