1 RUSD Disaster Preparedness Student Release Procedures

2 In The Event of a Disaster In the event of a disaster, Reed Union School District, in collaboration with Tiburon Police and Fire Departments, has Disaster Preparedness procedures in place. Immediately after a disaster : Our primary focus will be the safety of our students. We will release students as soon as it is safe to do so. Children will be assembled on play fields until structures are deemed safe. Once buildings are deemed structurally sound by the Fire Department, children may be moved to the MPR at Reed and Bel Aire, and the Library/Cyber Lounge at Del Mar.

3 CommunicationsCommunications Telephone lines will be used ONLY for emergency communications between School/District staff and local authorities. Go to the following radio stations for news updates, do not call schools: BEARS 840 AM BEARS 840 AM KCBS 740 AM KCBS 740 AM KGO 810 AM KGO 810 AM If we are able to access RUSD ’ s emergency notification system, we will update parents via text messages. District websites will NOT have up to date information.

4 Student Release At Home: You and your children should have a plan for how students will be picked up from school. At School: Staff will deployed to their appointed position to ensure the safety of our children. Students will be supervised and waiting in the pre-arranged assembly area on each campus Parents arrive at the “ Student Request Table ” at your child ’ s school where you will be required to complete an “ Emergency Student Request Form. ”

5 Parent and/or authorized person ’ s identities will be verified by checking drivers licenses and checking RUSD ’ s student information cards to ensure ONLY authorized persons are allowed to pick up a student. A staff runner will be sent with the release form to the assembly area to retrieve each student.
