Emergency Action Plan

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN:

Our facility has Emergency Exit routes posted in every room in the unlikely event of a fire or other emergency. Only front entrances will be open for entry into the building. Our gymnasium has emergency exit doors which will be utilized if necessary. Upon exiting the building, all coaches are responsible to ensure their team members are kept in a group and need to report any athletes unaccounted for to a member of the organizing committee. The muster point is clearly marked on the south side of the school. Further instructions in emergency situations will be dealt with as instructed by the Coaldale Emergency Services personnel.
