Disaster and Crisis Management Plan
Africanized honeybees have colonized into Los Angeles
County and are anticipated in our immediate area.
·
Be aware
that nests may be in trees, water meters, water valves, animal burrows, trash
receptacles, utility boxes, gas meters, vacant buildings, playground equipment,
and storage sheds.
·
Be aware
of activity:
·
Many bees
flying in and out of an area.
·
Humming
sound inside the walls of a building.
·
Bee swarm
flying overhead.
·
Bees
hovering near a tree or shrub.
When attacked:
·
Don’t
stand and swat bees or try to hide in bushes or water.
·
Cover
your head, eyes and mouth and run for cover.
·
Seek a
shelter inside the nearest building or vehicle and shut all doors and windows.
·
Don’t
jump in water. Killer bees will
wait and attack later.
·
Call 911.
The Fire Department will respond.
·
Promptly
scrape off stingers with a credit card, fingernail or ruler (anything with a
straight edge). Do not squeeze the
venom sacs.
· Get medical attention immediately and watch for an allergic reaction.
Employee Response to Killer Bee Attack
·
If a
swarm is spotted, immediately alert school administration by radio.
Alert administration even if you are not sure whether it is Killer Bees
or not.
·
If a
swarm is spotted, clear students from the immediate area.
If an attack has occurred, conduct a Lock Down procedure for the
immediate area (the entire campus may not need to be Locked Down).
·
If
immediate evacuation of the lower field is necessary, alert all school staff and
students with multiple short blasts on your whistle (simulating the Lock Down
alarm).
·
On the
lower field, Campus Aides will be stationed at the gates to ensure a safe flow
of traffic to the walkway and into the classrooms.
