lockdown drills

Lockdown drills are safety exercises conducted in schools, workplaces, or other facilities to prepare individuals for emergency situations, such as an active threat or intruder. During a drill, occupants follow specific procedures like locking doors, turning off lights, and remaining quiet to stay protected. These rehearsals help everyone understand how to respond quickly and effectively, reducing confusion and increasing preparedness. The goal is to create a safer environment by ensuring that staff and students know exactly what to do and can act swiftly in real emergencies.
