Disaster and Crisis Management Plan
The response to campus emergencies do not
basically vary from declared emergencies during the school day.
The same procedures will be followed for a Room Evacuation, Campus
Evacuation and Lock Down procedure. Campus
Aides and Coaches shall be trained to function as a teacher in charge of a
classroom of students.
Rooms close to students who are outdoors shall be
kept unlocked so that a Lock Down procedure can be accomplished.
The Director of Children’s Ministries
is responsible to issue room keys to the top managers in the affected programs.
If the Superintendent
and most other administrators are off campus when the incident occurs, the
senior administrator shall function as the Acting Superintendent during the
crisis. In many cases that will be
the Director of Children’s Ministries. If the incident requires an obvious and immediate declaration
of an emergency status, such should be declared and all necessary actions put
into place. The Director of
Children’s Ministries or other senior administrator is authorized to take any
actions deemed necessary in the absence of the Superintendent. As soon as possible, notification should be made to the
proper administrators via cell phone or land line, as available.
A call to 911 should always be the first call.
Due to the locations of students at hours outside
of the normal school day, the staff may have to resort to bypassing the normal
alarm system and use the PA system and radios to notify everyone of the
emergency. Buses may be on morning
or afternoon routes and not accessible for an Off Campus Evacuation.
If the situation still warrants such a move, then the children may need
to be moved by foot to Bethel Church or Faith Baptist Church.
Bethel is the preferable site due to the necessity of crossing La Tuna
Canyon Road in route to Faith Baptist Church.
The Director of Children’s Ministries is responsible to train Campus Aides in emergency procedures for hours outside the regular school day and summer activities.
The Athletic Director is responsible to see that coaches are trained in emergency procedures for hours outside the regular school day and summer activities.
