As a result of a school emergency, the principal, school incident commander, and emergency operations team will make a decision about when, and what emergency response actions should be taken. The decision is weighed carefully against all presenting variables. The Principal will give the evacuation / relocation directive when the conditions outside the school are safer than inside. This could be a result of fire in the school building, chemical accident in the building, explosion, or threat of explosion, or any other incident that might place students or school staff in danger, or render the building unsafe. This scenario will explain what actions need to be taken and identify personnel responsibilities. The objective is to help school personnel understand safety procedures as they relate to evacuation and relocation response actions.
