Building an Effective Lockdown Procedure

A well-rehearsed lockdown procedure is one of the most important safety measures a school can implement. Yet translating a written policy into clear, immediate action during a real or drilled scenario remains a challenge — especially for front-office staff and substitute teachers who may not have full context.

This free tool converts common lockdown scenarios into an immediate, scenario-specific action checklist. Whether the threat is inside the building, nearby, or a scheduled drill, the guide adjusts its guidance based on threat location, notification status, and whether classroom doors can be secured from the inside.
