Realizing that disasters can occur at a moment's notice, and such immediacy must be met with a quick and safe response
Noting that many schools and workplaces indeed have disaster protocols in place,
However, Concerned that some schools and workplaces are unprepared to handle a disaster,
Further concerned that students, staff, and employees themselves could be harmed because of an institution's or their own unpreparedness,
Resolving that all schools and workplaces practice safety drills and have disaster protocols in place,
Hereby,
- Mandates all schools and workplaces:
- Have a disaster plan for disasters that are specific to their location. For example, if a workplace or school is located on a coastline, it must have a tsunami disaster plan. During an emergency, everyone must have a safe place to be;
- Perform drills for the disaster protocols, as drills are helpful in reminding students, staff, and employees what to do during an actual emergency.
- Teach all students, staff, and employees the disaster protocols and how to behave during a disaster;
- Have a disaster plan for disasters that are specific to their location. For example, if a workplace or school is located on a coastline, it must have a tsunami disaster plan. During an emergency, everyone must have a safe place to be;
- Recommends schools and workplaces to:
- Notify underage students' and employee's parents after an emergency.
