Emergency Evacuation Procedure Information for Parents:

​

Educators  talk confidently and knowledgeably about the procedures to children:

• They confidently identify the roles that they and others will play during an emergency evacuation.

• They confidently and knowledgably describe how children (walking and non-walking) will be managed during an evacuation.

• They  confidently and knowledgeably describe how they will deal with any unexpected circumstance that arises during an evacuation – i.e. respond to questions such as “How will you manage if any of your 3-4 year olds refuse to walk independently from the home?”

It is also important to us that the children are familiar and comfortable with the evacuation procedures.

Educators are expected to have trial evacuations at least every three months.

Evacuation drills should be organised to test a variety of emergency situations and scenarios. For example, practicing earthquake drills one day and fire evacuation drills another.
