EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

Purpose and Scope The ABC Unified School District (ABCUSD) Administrative Regulations and Strategic Directives provide guidance and direction to principals, faculty and staff at schools throughout the District. The Cerritos Elementary School Comprehensive Safe School Plan (CSSP) provides school-site specific direction to school personnel who have Emergency Management Responsibilities (EMR). The Disaster Response Manual along with the School Comprehensive Safe School Plan shall be used during an emergency incident involving Cerritos Elementary School. Key Emergency Contact After contacting 911, it is imperative during an emergency to contact your assigned Assistant Superintendent of Instruction as quickly as possible. He/She will respond immediately to the emergency and alert the appropriate members of the District School Safety Team. Safe School Leadership Team (SSLT) Each ABCUSD facility and administrative site will have a Safe School Leadership Team (SSLT) to take charge of the emergency, respond effectively, protect the occupants of the facility and reduce the risk of physical injury, property damage and business interruption. The members of the Cerritos Elementary School SSLT are provided herein. Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) is the system required by Government Code 8607(a) for managing response to multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction emergencies in California. SEMS consists of five organizational levels, which are activated as necessary: Field Response, Local Government, Operational Area, Regional, and State (See Guidelines for Planning and Training in Compliance with the SEMS). The school site Safe School Leadership Team (SSLT) carries out the Field Response level of crisis and emergency management, the District School Safety Team functions at the Local Government level in this system. By organizing our crisis response plans according to SEMS, both school sites and the district are positioned to integrate services when an incident occurs on an area, regional or state level. The members of the District School Safety Team are provided herein. By standardizing key elements of the emergency management system, SEMS is intended to: Facilitate the flow of information within and between levels of the system. Facilitate coordination among all responding agencies. Use of SEMS will improve the mobilization, deployment, utilization, tracking, and demobilization of needed mutual aid resources. Use of SEMS will reduce the incident of poor coordination and communications, and reduce resource ordering duplication on multi-agency and multi-jurisdiction responses. SEMS is designed to be flexible and adaptable to varied disasters that occur in California, and to the needs of all emergency responders.
2

Essential Management Functions: SEMS has five essential functions adapted from Incident Command Center (ICC). The Field Response uses the five primary ICC functions: 1) Command, 2) Operations, 3) Planning/Intelligence, 4) Logistics, and 5) Finance/Administration. The term management is used instead of command at all levels except Field Response. The titles of the other functions remain the same at all levels. Under the SEMS, tasks are delegated to members of the SSLT to successfully handle critical incidents. The SSLT member is then responsible for the task assigned and serves as the manager of the task. This type of delegation allows each manager to focus on just one or two aspects of the incident. These managers then provide information to the Incident Commander (principal) and assist them in making informed decisions. Using this organizational system during a critical incident creates clear communication channels that will reduce the amount of confusion and chaos. Permanently assigning specific areas of responsibility to members of the Safe School Leadership Team provides each member with the opportunity to specialize in the management of his/her area. The SEMS can also address the uncertainty of exactly who will be in the building during an emergency. When assigning the management of critical roles in the SEMS, assign an alternate for each role to assure coverage at all times. This may require some individuals to be responsible for more than one task if the primary manager is out of the building. While the SEMS identifies roles for the members of the SSLT, all school faculty members should know their specific functions during an emergency. Teachers with students in class will have specific functions, as will teachers not assigned a class when an emergency occurs. It is imperative to emergency operations that SEMS roles and responsibilities are assigned and understood by the Safe School Leadership Team members. The Roles & Responsibilities outlined in this document, will also assist the Incident Command Center if one or more team members/alternates are not available. City emergency responders use the SEMS to manage emergency events. Because of this, a school with assigned roles for administrators and teachers will be able to work more efficiently with city agencies. State of California Government Code, Chapter 8, Division IV, Title I The State of California Government Code states that all public employees become emergency service workers in the event of a declared emergency. This means that all school district employees will be required to work in this capacity in case a disaster occurs and a state of emergency is declared.

SCHOOL SITE PERSONNEL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In the event of a major disaster, there is no guarantee that emergency medical or fire personnel will be able to immediately respond to school sites. All ABCUSD personnel become state first responders and must remain on-site until released. School staff must be prepared to ensure the care and safety of students during the first several hours after a major disaster without outside assistance. This plan is intended to determine who does what, where, and how. Principal/Safe School Leadership Team 1. Acts as the liaison between the school site and central office and maintains communication with appropriate central office staff and/or local law enforcement agencies, fire department, and medical assistance agencies as appropriate. 2. Posts and regularly updates Safe School Leadership Team information and the emergency phone numbers, emergency first aid responders, and chemical inventory lists. 3. Ensures Safe School Leadership Team members are knowledgeable of the location of shut-off valves and how to turn them off. Do not attempt to turn utilities back on yourself. 4. Ensures that teachers are trained to carry out responsibilities during disaster and drill procedures; encourages teachers to work in teams through a buddy- system. 5. Establishes a Communications System consisting of the following elements: a. System of specific disaster warning signals that are well known to staff and students, and includes, both bell and voice signals. b. Alternate system for written communication with staff in the event voice-to-voice communication is not available. c. Designate and enforce exclusive use of a telephone line and number to be used only by the Principal (or authorized person) and the Superintendent (or designee). d. A Communication Center in a location accessible to parents, interested community members, and media to handle inquiries, rumor control, and information in an orderly fashion. The following guidelines should be adhered to:
4

Include a sign-in sheet for all media to complete. ((cf. 1112 - Media Relations)

 Notify the Communications Center at 21011 (or 926-5566, ext 21011 from an outside line) of the emergency and media response. Notify the Assistant Superintendent who will inform the District Community Relations Office: (Cheryl Bodger, Public Information Officer.) Follow the directions of the Assistant Superintendent. Only the Superintendent or designee and the District Community Relations Officer or designee is authorized to release information. All other personnel should refer the media to Cheryl Bodger, District Community Relations Office (ext 21120). Designate a person to record incidents for documentation purposes including debriefing.

6. Establish a student release system that will facilitate an organized method to release individual students to authorized adults only. 7. Assigns the following duties to school staff: a. Patrol entrances to direct emergency personnel, parents, district staff, and media to appropriate areas, and prohibit unauthorized persons from entering campus. b. Monitor/supervise halls and corridors to maintain a safe and secure environment. c. Conduct search-and-rescue operations to systematically search every room in order to locate trapped/injured persons and to recover critical supplies and equipment. d. Establish/coordinate Communication Center. e. Administer first aid. f. Work with emergency medical triage teams to identify injured students and staff and to record ambulance destinations. g. Supervise Student Release Procedures. h. Check building utility systems and appliances for damage. 8. Schedule regular emergency drills and reviews the emergency plan with staff, students, and parents and to schedule regular site inspections for safety hazards. 9. Plans alternate classroom evacuation routes, if standard routes are obstructed.

10. Ensure that other personnel who provide services to students and staff are aware of emergency procedures. 11. Reviews and updates the site-level plan annually, with particular attention to the unique characteristics of the site. Teachers/Support Staff 1. Ascertain safety of egress, "triage" students as they exit the room, and within 2 minutes, triage and perform life saving first aid on students who will be left behind (clear airways and position prone students, apply compresses to serious bleeders, and treat for shock). Proceed to assembly area. 2. Injured/Missing Status Report Forms with names of students and possible injuries must be delivered to Incident Command as soon as possible.

3. Utilize the buddy-system with one or more teachers in your building and "pre-select" someone who can deliver information or otherwise help you if you cannot do it yourself. 4. Once the students in their classrooms have been secured, teachers/support staff should assume their emergency assignment role and be prepared to carry out the duties and actions therein required to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff on campus.

Safe School Leadership Team

Please note that the Safe School Leadership Team functions have been organized to align with the District Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Depending on staff available, team members may serve multiple roles. For example, the Principal may serve Incident Commander and Operations Officer, etc. In the event that landlines are inoperable, cellular phones may be utilized. Emergency radios operate on Channels 1-3 for short-range school site communications, Channel 14 for all schools, and Channel 16 for District-wide communications. Walkie-Talkie assignments and channels to be used for the disaster response role are indicated in the sections below. In the event of an emergency situation, the Safe School Leadership Team should report to a designated location to oversee and provide directions during the emergency situation. The principal and/or designee in charge are to facilitate the following: (1) secure the area, (2) check for damage, (3) assess injury situations, and (4) report findings to the Assistant Superintendent.
