Emergency Preparedness for Elementary Schools

Elementary school is a time for learning and creating friendships for most children. Although most recall elementary school as a time flooded with excitement and enthusiasm, elementary schools are very sensitive environments. In the event of any emergency, from a fire alarm sounding to a potential intruder, younger students will react in a much more severe fashion than older students may.

While this reaction is entirely warranted from the children, as even the teachers are sure to experience some feeling of panic or fear, it is essential to maintain control over the classroom. Power outages are bound to happen and being prepared for any possible situations in advance is the best way to ensure the safety and happiness of both children and staff.

In the event of a power outage, having an alternative light source is almost always necessary. Cyalume glowsticks provide the perfect remedy for any lighting difficulties. Our light sticks provide a 360˚ illumination, which largely aids in lighting up the room.

The importance of being prepared for any circumstance is essential, especially in schools. Students and staff need to be safe from any potential dangers. Cyalume is an essential part of these preparations as it functions as both a source of light and a source of relief for the kids.
