8 SCHOOL CENTERS SHELTER SITES For Action: Facility Coordinator and School Center Personnel, Date: June 1, 2012 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES This procedure is to be used on notification that a school site must be readied to assist in a community emergency. Every school has the potential of being designated as a Red Cross emergency shelter when it is determined by the Superintendent to be in the best interest of the community. Appendix A lists the Palm Beach County schools designated as Shelters for the 2012 hurricane season. Employees will be notified by the Principal/Designee of their Category (A, B, C, D) for return to work after a storm. Categories: A- report immediately upon All Clear advisory B- report when notified by media, , district Web site or phone call C- report when notified by media, , district Web site or phone call D- report when notified by media, , district Web site or phone call A. SEASONAL PROCEDURES At least once a week during hurricane season (June 1 November 30), exercise emergency generators in accordance with manufacturer s instructions. Check oil and water levels, refilling as necessary, and verify adequate fuel reserves. Check battery powered emergency lights for operation. B. PRE-STORM PREPARATIONS Notification of school centers will be accomplished by public broadcast using the ParentLink system and by black box (if during school day). When an official Hurricane Watch has been issued for Palm Beach County and upon notification by the Office of the Superintendent, it is the responsibility of each Principal, assisted by assigned personnel, to be prepared to take the following precautions: 1.

Store these items above the floor in plastic covering, if possible, to protect them from water damage due to minor flooding. 8. In the area of the school that serves as the shelter, move all equipment except the televisions to a secure location. Since the televisions provide information/entertainment for the shelter occupants, leave them connected to T.E.N., which will transmit as long as power is available. 9. In all non-shelter areas move audio-visual, computer equipment, and other expensive appliances to a secure, central location without windows. If equipment has to be left in an area that may receive water damage, cover it with plastic. 10. Start and test emergency generators to ensure they are operational. Fill fuel tanks servicing the generator. Check lubricating oil and battery water. 11. Turn off all gas and electrical appliances, except as required in designated emergency shelters. 12. Check battery powered emergency lights for operation. 13. Take any additional precautions considered necessary for the protection of the particular facility and site. 14. Ensure that the telephone numbers and instructions for contacting appropriate departments are available to personnel for implementation of post-storm procedures. 15. Locate and make available: a. Flashlights and batteries b. Hand-held radios (including chargers and extra batteries) c. Golf Carts (including chargers) d. Cellular telephones (including chargers) e.

OPENING OF SHELTERS Generally, Red Cross opens the shelters when weather factors indicate that a hurricane is expected to strike the Palm Beach County area within twenty-four (24) hours. Upon direction by the Chief of School Police, the School Police dispatchers will notify Principals, Food Service Director/Designee and School Police Officers to respond to each shelter as it is opened.
