school evacuation
Building emergency departure
School evacuation is the organized movement of students, staff, and visitors out of a school building during an emergency or drill.
Fire alarms, bomb threats, gas leaks, or nearby hazards trigger evacuations.
Students typically line up by class and proceed to designated assembly points where teachers take attendance: We practiced school evacuation three times this year.
