A meeting was conducted with the supporting staff of the school to brief them on their roles and responsibilities during emergency situations. The objective of the meeting was to ensure preparedness, prompt response, and the safety of all students and staff in the event of any emergency such as fire, earthquake, medical emergencies, or any other unforeseen incident.

 

The staff members were informed about the school's emergency response plan and evacuation procedures. They were instructed to remain calm, avoid panic, and assist in the safe and orderly evacuation of students from classrooms, corridors, washrooms, and other areas to the designated assembly point. Special emphasis was laid on providing assistance to young children, students with special needs, and injured individuals.

 

The supporting staff were assigned specific duties, including opening emergency exits, guiding students towards safe routes, ensuring that washrooms and isolated areas are cleared, assisting in crowd management, switching off electrical appliances (where safe to do so), and reporting any hazards immediately to the Emergency Response Team. They were also reminded not to use lifts during emergencies and to follow the instructions of the Incident Commander and school authorities.

 

The importance of maintaining discipline, effective communication, and coordination among all staff members was highlighted. Emergency helpline numbers and contact details of key school officials were shared, and the need for regular participation in mock drills was reinforced.

 

The meeting concluded with an interactive session where staff members clarified their doubts. All supporting staff assured their full cooperation and commitment towards ensuring the safety and security of every child and staff member during any emergency situation.
