"The Alameda Unified School District's highest priority is keeping students safe. Because of that, we constantly review, update and practice our safety protocols, including those for fires, earthquakes and disturbances on campus. These protocols have been developed in collaboration with local and regional emergency responders and are based on national best practices. Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) students and staff regularly practice how to respond to earthquakes, fires and campus disturbances to be ready in case something happens during a school day."
"Drills: All schools practice emergency procedures with their staff and students several times each school year. Those drills cover fires, earthquakes and lockdowns. All lockdown trainings are age-appropriate and take place in the classroom with the teacher leading the discussion. We do not conduct realistic scenario drills with younger students. Heat and smoke: The AUSD follows guidelines from two agencies to determine how best to proceed during excessively hot days."
