Study Notes

Evacuation and Response Strategies

  • Preferred response strategy is to evacuate when time and distance permit.
  • ALICE strategies involve two main components: Awareness/ Communication and Response.

ALICE Enhanced Lockdown

  • Includes actions such as locking the door, barricading the door, spreading out, and being prepared to either evacuate or counter an intruder.

Violent Critical Incidents

  • A situation involving a person attempting to harm others without known motives is termed a Violent Critical Incident.

Student Preparedness

  • Research shows that 90% of students felt prepared after participating in ALICE training.

Age-Appropriate Discussions

  • It's crucial to tailor discussions about ALICE strategies to students' age and ability levels, as some aspects may not be applicable.

Awareness and Communication

  • Strategies for Awareness and Communication do not include lockdown as part of ALICE’s approach.

Perception in New Environments

  • Perception involves assessing the sights and sounds of a new environment, understanding the meaning behind those observations, and predicting outcomes based on choices made.

Response to Intruder Alerts

  • Respond according to the strategy that best fits the situation and the information available when alerted about an intruder.

Best Practices for Informing Others

  • While informing others about an intruder, use real-time information, provide as much detail as possible, and repeat the information for clarity.

Safe Exit Procedures

  • To evacuate safely from a second-floor room during a violent incident, open or break the window, clear the glass, hang from the window, drop while bending knees, and roll upon landing.

Appropriate Use of Evacuation Strategy

  • The evacuation strategy is suitable if you're in a location away from the threat, such as being in the cafeteria while an intruder is in another part of the building.

Enhanced Lockdown Techniques

  • In a lockdown scenario, actions such as huddling in a corner are not considered part of ALICE's enhanced lockdown strategy.

Countering an Intruder

  • If an intruder enters your space, immediate action such as throwing an object (e.g., a book) is classified as counters.

Cafeteria Response

  • During incidents in communal areas like a cafeteria, focus should be on distraction and control techniques to manage the situation.
