3.6 Evacuation and Safety Procedures

The school has a direct telephone line exclusively available for emergency calls. The number is 3648-2494. Various kinds of evacuation practice drills (earthquake, fire, etc.) are held periodically during the school year. All staff and students are trained on proper conduct and procedures. During the drill, access doors to ASFG are closed. This is for security and control.

The ASFG administrative team and security committee have procedures in place for all emergency situations deemed probable for our community (earthquake, fire, kidnapping, bomb threat, civil disturbance, death in the community) as well as three designated emergency stations equipped with tools for search and rescue, a supply of blankets and water for all students and staff, and a designated safe haven in the event we have to abandon the campus quickly. Our medical team is prepared with equipment and materials to take care of minor medical emergencies. If it is necessary, the student will be transferred to a hospital and the parents will be notified of the medical emergency that required hospitalization.

We also have updated phone trees for staff and an instant messaging system for ASFG families for notification purposes in case of an emergency. During an emergency where we ask parents to come to school for their children, all students P1^st to 12^th grade will meet parents at the Filadelfia entrance; early childhood students will meet parents at Colomos door #1. Students will be released to parents only.
