We don’t expect you to memorize the plan, but
to be familiar with the thinking, know where the
kits are, and what is expected of Leaders

Why?
Both Natural and Invasive threats are a reality
of our world.
In an emergency, minutes and even seconds
can make a difference. Knowing what to do
saves lives.
In a disaster, professional responders could
take days to get to us.
An emergency or disaster could strike any
time, even during beit midrash.

The Beit Am Emergency Response and Disaster Mitigation
Plan is a guide to help identify potential threats to Beit Am
property, as well as the life and safety of its members and
guests. It recommends procedures to mitigate and respond
to these threats. It is intended to be used as an educational
and training tool for staff, volunteers and members in
leadership roles. Training in these procedures and general
emergency response and disaster mitigation will be offered
yearly, at a minimum, by the Beit Am Safety and Security
Committee (BASS). It is our hope that this will increase
awareness about potential threats and protect the safety
and well-being of our members and their property.
Throughout the plan the top consideration is people’s
safety.
Introduction
14
The key to successful implementation of this plan is trained
leadership and practice. Training and preparation for any
threat can reduce member anxiety.
The Rabbi, Beit Midrash principal, office staff, members
of the Safety and Security Committee, Beit Am Board
members and any other interested members should go
through annual training as Emergency Leaders.
Beit Midrash teachers and other community leaders
should be encouraged to attend Emergency Leader
trainings.
Emergency Leader Training should include going through
all aspects of this plan and ensuring all attendees
understand their potential roles.
Leadership & Training
15
During an emergency, a Point Person will be chosen
from among the trained emergency leaders present.
Evacuation drills should be held for Beit Midrash at the
beginning of each school year and reviewed regularly.
Practice drills for different emergencies should be held as
can be appropriately scheduled.
It is recommended that the Rabbi and Beit Midrash
Principal, at a minimum, be certified in first aid.

Power Failure
A short term outage (a day or less) will be inconvenient but not cause any serious
problems. A longer outage (more than a day) may cause food in the refrigerator to
spoil and the building to become uncomfortably cold. If the outage occurs during
freezing weather, it could allow the water pipes to freeze.
