In the event f a majr incident invlving a critical system, i.e., explsin, building cllapse, electrical sparking, etc., call 91l and rder an evacuatin f the center. FIRE Fire Prcedures UNLV/CSUN preschl has a fire emergency plan including an evacuatin prcedure, marked exits, fire/smke detectrs, fire extinguishers, safe strage and use f flammable materials, and 23

24 fire safety training and fire drills. The fire plan specifies when and hw t evacuate in case f fire and under which cnditin staff shuld attempt t cntrl a fire using extinguishers. UNLV/CSUN preschl remains current n fire safety such as regular inspectins and use f fire extinguishers, detectrs, and alternate heating surces. Fire safety training and fire drills are cnducted regularly. Respnse t Fires If fire/smke is discvered, immediately activate the nearest pull statin/call 911and, if available, activate the duress buttn t reprt the fire and begin evacuatin per the evaluatin prcedure. If the fire is small (waste paper basket size) extinguish the fire by using water, blanket, fire extinguisher, etc. DO NOT TAKE RISKS. Persnal safety and that f the children cme first. Pull alarm.

POTENTIALLY VIOLENT SITUATIONS (See Attached Respnse 1, 2, 3 Plan) A ptentially vilent situatin (i.e., hstage situatin, disgruntled persn, unstable custdy matter) may be cause fr a selective evacuatin prcedure. The premise behind a selective evacuatin is that it enables large numbers f children and staff t mve ut f harm s way when an individual is n-site wh culd be ptentially vilent. 24

25 Silent alarms are lcated in Building 1. Ask yur directr where they are lcated. If a ptentially vilent individual gains access t yur facility 1. Immediately call 911/Plice and ntify Security. 2. Indicate t security and anther center administratr that yu may have a cnditin fr a selective evacuatin (this may be within the building if the ptentially vilent persn des nt leave the area). If yu have any reasn t believe the individual has a weapn, rder a selective evacuatin frm nn-affected areas (this may be anther rm within the facility). 3. If the individual cannt be islated and chses t leave the premises, allw them the freedm t exit making sure t nte their car make and mdel, license plate, and the directin f their travel. Cmmunicate this immediately t the 911 dispatcher. The preschl has a CODE Phrase fr a ptential vilent situatin. Ask yur directr fr the Cde phrase which means Smene Call 911 Nte: If the individual is armed leaving and taking a child r staff member, it is better t let the individual leave the facility rather than prmpt a cnfrntatin that wuld increase the risk f injury t yurself and thers. If a ptentially vilent individual gains access t yur facility and remains: Immediately press silent alarm if in building ne and accessible, use cde phrase t make a call r dial 911 and leave line pen n speaker if yu cannt talk. Plice will address t yu n hw t handle the situatin if yu can listen. Indicate t Security and anther Center administratr that yu may have a cnditin fr a selective evacuatin. Use the CODE phrase fr the schl. Ask yur directr fr the phrase if yu frgt r d nt knw it. If yu have any reasn t believe the individual has a weapn, rder a selective evacuatin. Try t islate the ptential aggressr frm as many adults and children as pssible. Seek t draw the individual(s) t the ffice, break rm, cnference rm, r ther less ppulated space. If the individual has entered a classrm, seek t draw him int the least utilized prtin f the rm. If cmfrtable ding s, engage the ptential aggressr in agreeable cnversatin t deescalate the situatin. Remain calm and be plite. D nt physically restrain r blck their mvements. While yu are engaging the ptentially vilent individual, ther available persns shuld direct unaffected classrms t mve t lcatins arund the facility that are farthest frm the incident pint. This selective evacuatin shuld prceed rm-by-rm and as rderly and quietly as pssible, being careful t use rutes nt visible t the incident pint. The ther administratr shuld als make sure n ther individuals, ther than emergency persnnel, enter the space where yu have islated the ptentially vilent individual. Once the plice arrive they will take ver the situatin, negtiate and dictate further mvements. If a decisin is made t relcate t the alternate site while negtiatins g n, fllw the apprpriate evacuatin prcedures. 25
