An Auckland school was locked down in a full-scale police emergency - but thankfully it was only a training exercise. Armed police descended on Somerville Intermediate in Howick in an exercise designed to test their response to the threat of armed gunmen at schools. The school was taken over by three gunmen shortly after 9am and locked down.
We understand that emergencies for schools can take a number of forms.
Emergencies can develop from both natural events such as earthquakes and tsunami's to Criminal acts and large scale accidents.
There is a real need to have the right school evacuation and lock down procedures.
From experience in dealing with emergencies, both in New Zealand and overseas, we have developed an integrated emergency plan specifically for New Zealand Schools to enable them to deal with the full range of threats that our schools now face.
