🎒 Guidelines for School Children
• Move upstairs immediately: Go straight to the highest floor if water starts entering the school building.
• Avoid the basement: Stay completely away from lower levels, underground spaces, and school basements.
• Do not touch outlets: Keep your hands off light switches, plugs, and wires if you are wet.
• Stay with adults: Never try to walk home alone; always stick close to your teachers or guard.
• Wait for the okay: Do not board school buses or leave until school officials declare it safe.
• Turn around: Remember the golden rule: Never try to walk or swim through moving water.
🏡 Action Plan for Parents
• Monitor official alerts: Track storm developments through weather bulletins issued by local public safety officials.
• Pack family go-bags: Prepare essential emergency kits with non-perishable food, water, and vital medications.
• Secure your property: Elevate household electronics, shut off the main breaker, and lock your external doors.
• Enforce a strict ban: Never let kids play in puddles or residual pools due to hidden dangers.
• Sanitize food and water: Discard items touched by dirty water and boil tap water before use.
• Check local school protocols: Familiarize yourself with your school district's storm evacuation and pickup policies.
