PURPOSE
To establish emergency relocation protocol.
POLICY
Relocation is the moving of individuals to areas inside a building believed to offer better or increased cover and protection in the wake of impending or immediate danger including, but not limited to, severe weather. Building and floor coordinators, faculty and staff, and those designated by building coordinators should direct groups to the relocation area. In instances of severe weather, upon arriving at the relocation area, individuals should sit down, draw knees to their chest, cover head with hands, and remain in this position for further instructions. If any designated relocation area inside the building is perceived as an area of threat, the primary or secondary building coordinator should designate a new relocation area.
PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW DURING RELOCATION TO AN INSIDE LOCATION
When alerted, students, staff and visitors should be directed by Walters State personnel, in a calm and orderly fashion, to the designated relocation area. When the designated area becomes congested, or if time does not permit moving to the relocation area, rooms or stairwells not containing windows may be used as relocation areas.
