Longs Creek Elementary Critical Incident Response Plan

Critical Incident Response Plan Terms When an emergency occurs at a campus or other school district location, the entire staff needs to provide an immediate and coordinated response. There are five basic procedures which can be utilized in the initial response to various incidents. During each response, teachers should account for all students and immediately report any discrepancies to administration. During each drill teachers should have their rosters.

Evacuation Plan (bomb threat, fire, hazardous material incident, gas leak) Each administrator should have possession of their Critical Incident Response Handbook and cellular phone during an evacuation of their campus b. Staff and students should evacuate to one of the following evacuation sites (as specified by administration): a. 1) Madison High School 5005 Stahl Road San Antonio, TX 78247 637-4400 2) Longs Creek Recreation Center 15862 Walnut Creek Drive San Antonio, TX 78247 403-3604
