Tiivistelmä
The guide Sheltering indoors in Educational Institutions focuses on shelter-in-place exercises, the effectiveness of which is improved by means of good planning. One of the key tasks of educational institutions is to identify, analyse and treat the risks that can threaten its operations and to decide what kind of risks the educational institution considers so likely that it is important to practice for them. When estimating a serious situation in the nearby area that would require sheltering indoors, a fire or a chemical accident appear as the most probable incidents.
The exercises need to be attended by the whole educational institute community: the staff, pupils or students and other stakeholders. In a true emergency, every member of the educational institute community must know how to collaborate with others. Safety is not truly under control until the entire educational institution community practices it together by planning, training and taking action in a true emergency.
This guide was created on the basis of the need expressed by those who participated in the ‘Safe and Secure School’ training, financed by the National Agency for Education and implemented by the Laurea University of Applied Sciences. The guide is intended for anyone interested in improving the safety in any educational institution. We hope that the guide will give its readers new ideas about how to carry out training in sheltering indoors.
