Assign a teacher to round up children from playgrounds or other outdoor areas. Move students quickly into interior rooms or central hallways on the ground floor, students should protect their heads and crouch or kneel against the wall. Avoid gymnasiums, auditoriums or other large rooms. Make sure someone knows how to turn off electricity and gas in the event the school is damaged. Keep children at school beyond regular hours if threatening weather is expected.
Children are safer at school than in a bus or car.
Don't send students home early if severe weather is approaching. The Manitoba Association of School Trustees. All rights reserved.
