It’s Coming 2013/14

How will KESW react

KESW has a very sophisticated emergency plan for any disaster that could occur, ranging from snow storms to impact from falling debris to the ground. There are 3 copies of these disaster plans located around the school. There is only so much you can do in a disaster and the san isn’t equipped or big enough for a major disaster.

In the documents it does state and have plans so that the san can spread over the school. They have tried to include every disaster possible but you know anything can happen.

Disaster Plans

The school might face a

Blackout

There is the big chance of blackouts, in other words no power. KESW has a generator that can last for a while. Electricity will be the least of our worries though. With all this snow delivery vans of food for the school will not be able to get to the school, and it will be the last of their worries to try to.

KESW `S kitchen has enough food to last for 3 days at the most but if our kitchens are prepared we may be able to last for a few more days. Using everything from dry stocks to frozen, we might even have to ration if it gets bad enough!!!!!!!!!!

Be ready for winter 2013/14
