During an emergency remain calm and listen for instructions from the person in charge, whetherfrom school personnel or an emergency response team. Make sure the 911 operator is called. If theemergency involves the whole school and is during regular office hours, someone in the administration willmake the call. If this is a personal emergency, such as a medical emergency, or after hours and the office isclosed, the student or a capable friend or acquaintance should make the call to 911.If you have not had a first aid course, please become familiar with the first aid survival guide at thefront of the phone directory white pages.
