DESIGNATED SAFETY AREAS

Department of Homeland Safety suggests that all businesses and public gathering places designate those interior building areas with fewest windows and exterior door and window openings as "safety" locations in the event of acts of war, or terrorism. Church and community center spaces closest to meeting "safety" criteria are as follows:

Annex Building:

	Upstairs interior hallways and bathrooms
	All Downstairs bathrooms and hallways
	Persons in downstairs locations who are able to move to upstairs interior hallways and restroom areas should do so. Those in downstairs locations who must seek more immediate shelter should move to downstairs locations.

Middle Building:

	Upstairs restrooms located on courthouse side of building and the upstairs office area reception room.
	Upstairs Bride’s Room and adjacent restroom located on County Library side of Middle Building and Upstairs Library
	Downstairs interior main secretarial offices (on County Courthouse side) and downstairs pre-school classroom backstage area.

Ventilation System Control Switches:

In the event of biological attack, ventilations systems should be turned to the "off" position in each area of the facility. (See Maps for location of control panels marked).

Plastic sheeting and duct tape found in storage area for emergency equipment and supplies marked Ì should be used to seal door openings.

Each building is equipped with emergency lights that automatically light in the case of power outage. All fire extinguishers are serviced regularly.

Pre-school and Children’s Sunday School classes should participate regularly in evacuation drills for both orderly evacuation of facility and orderly movement to "safety" locations.
