2 Emergency Response for Schools Introduction This guide has been revised by Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education in collaboration with local police agencies and the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. This document is meant to serve as a quick resource to help school administrator s manage the first 30 minutes during an emergency. It does not replace an individual school s detailed emergency management plan for the specific hazards that may challenge a school s ability to keep students and staff safe, or to function normally. A school s emergency management plan must be developed for the specific site and any unique challenges that might occur. Each classroom shall have a copy of the Emergency Management Codes sheet posted as a quick reference guide of their responsibilities during an emergency. It is important that schools continue to practice their required drills each year to help provide a solid base for student and staff knowledge. Schools should also attempt to conduct their drills under more challenging circumstances such as lunch, recess, etc.. School plans must be updated periodically when they become aware of changes that will affect their plans or following a drill when it is determined processes should be adjusted. This is the intellectual property of the Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education. Do not copy or use its contents without the explicit written permission of the Communications Division of the Regional Executive Director of Education s office.
3 School Specific Emergency Plan Each school is responsible to have a written emergency plan for risks that may occur. Each emergency plan, at a minimum shall include the following items: Emergency contact information (Emergency Responders, CCRCE and parents/guardians). School profile. Definition of the types of emergencies the plan includes. Designation of the person-in-charge (principal or designate). How each emergency is activated. Roles and responsibilities of person-in-charge, staff, students and any others within the school for each type of emergency. Details about the specific plan (i.e. for a relocation, where/how to relocate students and staff and how the person-in-charge, will gain access to the off site location). Medication for any students. How to deactivate the emergency plan. Documentation requirements. For more information refer to the School Emergency Management Plan Template developed by the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Education. Plans for any students and staff requiring special assistance. Identify outside safe location for students and staff to congregate if can not re-enter school. Assign staff member to keep first aid kit stocked. Develop sign-out process for students following an event. School specific plans must be reviewed and updated at least annually to ensure details and contact information are accurate. For more information related to school emergency planning, contact CCRCE s Health & Safety Coordinator at or FaheyJ@ccrce.ca. 3
