[Deanna Cahoon-Draus]

I’ve found that taking the staff around the building and going through emergency procedures in a tour format has been helpful. At certain spots on tour, we’ll go over scenarios (most of which have actually happened), which I’ve noticed has improved critical thinking around the content they are learning because they think about it relative to the context of people and spaces instead of in a meeting room staring at a PowerPoint slide. I also ask them to differentiate between what if certain scenarios happened in different places and how that would impact the situation differently!?

I use that for the whole activities team, so everyone knows each procedure, but I still hold another emergency procedures session with the Building Manager team since they have a more hands-on role in executing emergency procedures.

I’ve attached my notes for the tour format session. They are mostly my talking point notes and I add details as I go.

Subject: Emergency Action Plan Training Sessions for Student Staff

Hey everyone!

Reaching out in hopes that someone might have some fresh ideas on how to effectively train on Emergency Action Plans (Evacuation, Shelter-in-Place, Lockdown, etc.). We have done trainings on these topics many times but are looking for something more engaging and memorable. Any advice or thoughts anyone might have would be super helpful!
