Invacuation/ On-Site Evacuation Off-Site Evacuation

Precautionary Building Confinement/Lockdown

Immediate Action Contact Emergency Service - with nature and time of incident, how many people involved. Short blasts of siren, activate ERT, ensure safety and wellbeing of children and staff, isolate hazard or move away, attend to first aid - follow Evacuation plan, take Evacuation trolley to CBPS hall if evacuation with first aid supplies, sign in books, medication bags.

Contact Emergency Service - with nature and time of incident, how many people involved. Blow continuous whistle, Activate ERT, let know where the evacuation point is and contact numbers. Ensure safety and wellbeing of children and staff. Take mobile phone. Take Evacuation trolley with first aid supplies, sign in books, medication bags.

Invacuation signal sounded, all staff notified to lock down building until otherwise notified. School staff to notify kindy office staff if any children are not accounted for. Responsible person on site to locate and move to lockdown situation. Emergency Services contacted.

Identify Incident Type and

Determine Safest Location

Where possible an evacuation will take place to the CBPS hall (this is the bushfire refuge) unless there is a threat to that area of the school. If threat to that building, second evacuation point is to the top of the oval.

Off site evacuation only if instructed by Emergency Services, and/or immediate bomb threat or hazardous chemical spill. Preferred evacuation to Hospital across the road or Adelaide Square on Bowman Street if long evacuation.

Lock down to continue until threat or emergency is passed - only then will staff open building

Incident Management and

Reporting

BUSHFIRE RESPONSE PLAN It is a Departmental requirement for all R1 and R2 bushfire risk rated sites to complete the Bushfire Response Plan. Completion of this template within your sites Emergency Management Plan supersedes any previous Bushfire Response Plan updating process or documentation.

Bushfire Refuge

The term Bushfire Refuge has been adopted by DECD to reduce confusion with the terminology used by the CFS, and is generally a building on site that can provide short-term shelter from a bushfire to the site population only.

The term Last Resort Refuge is identified in each Council for community members as a space or building which could be used as a place of last resort for individuals to go to and remain during the passage of fire through their neighbourhood. A Last Resort Refuge is intended to provide a place of relative safety during a bushfire, but does not guarantee the survival of those who assemble there, and should only be used when personal Bushfire Survival Plans cannot be implemented or have failed.

NOTE: No DECD sites have been identified by the CFS as a Last Resort Refuge.

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the site ERT to determine trigger points and act upon them as per the site’s Bushfire Response Plan.

The ERT must not rely on a call from the CFS that a bushfire threat is in the area and should not wait for instruction to move to the site’s designated Bushfire Refuge.

Trigger Point* to prepare for movement to the Bushfire Refuge:

On high risk days, ERT will check CFS web site and make observations of the area in the immediate vicinity of the school and follow advice from local Emergency Services.

Continuous series of short blasts of whistle

Drinking Water Contingency Plan

If the Bushfire Refuge does not have available drinking water then other sources such as large water bottles MUST be taken into the Bushfire Refuge for use during an invacuation.

Rainwater tanks used for drinking purposes must incorporate disinfection via an ultraviolet light irradiation system. For further information regarding drinking water see the DECD Intranet at https://myintranet.learnlink.sa.edu.au/operations-and-management/facilities-and-security/energy,-water-and-waste-management/water

Water for Ablutions

During a power failure, a site may not have ablution water available, therefore alternatives should be considered. Sites may consider portable options (i.e. camping toilets) for use within the Bushfire Refuge during a bushfire emergency situation if water is not available for ablutions.
