Organizing for Emergencies
Emergency Response Team (ERT)
An Emergency Response Team (ERT) is a group of people in a particular building who prepare for and respond to emergencies, such as a natural disaster or an interruption of business operations, while waiting for professional emergency resources to arrive. Emergency response teams are common in corporations as well as in public service organizations. This team is generally composed of specific members designated before an incident occurs.
- Director or Department Heads: Principal, Assistant Principal, Administrative Intern
The District is coordinating Emergency Response Teams in every building. If your building does not currently have a recognized Emergency Response Coordinator, please discuss your interest with your director, or principal and contact Risk Management at 801-402-5144.

Early defibrillation is a critical component in treating sudden cardiac arrest.

When properly placed on a person's chest, it can analyze the heart's rhythm and apply an electrical shock if needed.

Severe Weather
SEEK APPROPRIATE SHELTER - TUNE TO KSL 1160
Dress for the season
- Wear loose, light weight clothes in layers. Trapped air insulates.
- Remove layers to avoid perspiration and subsequent chill.
- Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent and hooded.
- Wear a hat - half your body heat loss can come from your head.
- Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.
- Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.
- Wear appropriate footwear.
- Try to stay dry.
Severe Weather
Weather emergency concerns for the Davis County area include high winds, heavy snows, and lightning. The Davis School District does not have an early warning system for weather emergencies. A weather emergency radio can be used to monitor changing weather conditions and act accordingly.
The information included here is intended to provide general guidelines for handling various weather emergencies.
High Winds
High winds can topple trees, outdoor equipment, and electrical lines and send construction materials and debris flying.
If you are inside:
- Stay inside
- Stay away from windows until the winds subside.
If you are outside:
- Seek shelter in a building and stay away from windows.
Snowstorms
When a severe storm occurs and impacts campus, the Superintendent decides whether to cancel classes or whether personnel should leave work early. Personnel are notified through supervisory channels, District website, KSL, Facebook and Twitter. Please follow directions provided when notified to react to snowstorms.
After An Overnight Storm, Tune to KSL 1160
Lightning
If you are outdoors during a storm follow the rule of “If you can see it, flee it; If you can hear it, clear it.” You should shut down outdoor activities when lightning is less than six miles away. Use a “flash to bang” (lightning to thunder) approach to calculate how far away the lightning is from your position where a count of five seconds equals one mile in distance. (10 sec. = 2 miles, 20 sec. = 4 miles, 30 sec. = 6 miles, etc.).
If you find yourself caught in a storm away from a protected building
- If possible, get into a building or inside vehicle.
- Avoid trees, flag poles, towers, and metal fences.
- If caught in the open, stay low.
People who have been struck by lightning do not carry an electrical charge and are safe to assist. Apply first aid immediately if you are qualified to do so. Get emergency help promptly. If you need an ambulance, call 911.

When it is necessary to shelter-in-place, you will be safest by moving inside to a building space, above ground, that protects you from the danger. Try to avoid spaces with windows. Do not lock doors behind you as others may also need to shelter-in-place. The specifics of shelter-in-place procedures such as which locations in a building are the safest-depend on the type of weather emergency or natural disaster that is occurring.
