Students are preparing for dismissal. Suddenly, an earthquake similar in magnitude to the Alaskan Earthquake of '64 hits Southcentral Alaska. Several students and teachers have been injured around the building. The intercoms are out. Phones are not working.
Aftershocks occur frequently.
Within the next fifteen minutes parents and loved-ones converge upon Homestead School demanding to know where their children are, if they are safe. During these drills the building will be evacuated. Building evacuation escape routes are posted in each room. When the alarm sounds, students leave their classrooms with their teachers in single file and proceed along the designated routes in a quiet, orderly fashion to designated safe areas. Students will remain in class groups to facilitate accounting.
