ALARM

During the alarm stage, those involved in the drill are alerted by a loud warning device; such as a bell or buzzer. This must be a pre-arranged signal known by everyone, so that all will respond appropriately. RESPONSE
•
During the response stage, everyone drop on the floor. Look for cover such as under a heavy desk, table, chair, bed or under a door jamb.
Make sure you move away from windows, glass or light fixtures. If there is not cover available, crouch and try to protect your head. And, hold properly the cover, so it wont move.
Drop, Cover, and Hold On

At the assembly stage, the evacuees are grouped in order of classrooms, departments or floors – whichever is more
