Security

Things to do for the security aspect:

• Find someone who wants to coordinate this aspect
• Contact organisations who organise free CPR/first aid trainings - offer course to volunteers
• Purchase first aid kits, and maybe a fire extinguisher (spelling?)
• Photograph the emergency exit plans
• Find out if the fire alarm also has a visual alarm for the hearing impaired (including in toilets)
• Make not of where the emergency exits are
• Draft an "In case of emergency plan" with what to do if there is some kind of emergency, who to call, numbers etc
• Find out what to do with e.g. people with wheelchairs. The lifts go down to floor 0 automatically, so people in wheelchairs must be escorted to a different fire cell (a place with firewalls/firedoors, separate from where the fire is) and left with either escort/company or some means of communicating with the fire department (which is the best practise? Who knows about fire cells?)
• Investigate if we can get or acquire some kind of stair crawler, or device to evacuate people down the stairs (people who can't walk) example 1 example 2
• Draft a plan for evacuating everybody, regardless of mobility, visual and hearing capabilities (do we need to assign escorts or assistance?)
• Inform all volunteers of safety plan and fire exits at walk-through
• Pre-load all volunteer mobile phones (FSCONS's phones) with relevant numbers for SOS etc
• Make list of where alarm buttons are, how they work, what different type they are (Fire/Evacuate)
• Communicate results of security work to various aspects (web - for information, accessibility, group working with booklet and signs for the venue, staff aspect - to inform volunteers)
