EMERGECNY PROCEDURES

A lockdown procedure will be implemented during a school or BASC emergency. In the case of a fire, flood, or other environmental hazard requiring immediate evacuation of the school building, BASC staff will escort all children to one of the emergency evacuation sites and information will be posted noting our location.

Lockdown procedure:

1. doors will be locked

2. windows will be shut and locked

3. blinds will be closed

4. no one will be permitted to enter or leave the building

5. lockdown will continue until the director received an “all clear” signal from emergency personnel

6. parents are reminded to check e-mail for the latest news from BASC staff during a lockdown.

Evacuation Plan:

In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation of the center, such as fire or flood, the children will be escorted by BASC staff to an alternate location – either the St. Clare Parish Rectory, located at 8535 SW 19^th Ave. or Capitol Hill Elementary School located at 8401 SW 17^th Ave. Notice of the evacuation will be posted on the school doors at the Freeman St. entrance, and the classroom door, stating that the building has been evacuated and the current location of the students. Parents will be telephoned, or if the parents are not available, the emergency contacts listed on each child’s registration form will be called until a contact is reached and arrangements have been made for their pick up.
