In the event of a local emergency or an unplanned issue that would prevent a school from safely operating, school principals work in tandem with complex area superintendents to make decisions regarding short-term school closures.

Safety, Security & Emergency Preparedness

학교 휴교

In the event of large-scale events such as a hurricane, we work with our partners in state and county emergency management to make a determination on whether a school should remain open. Many of our school campuses are designated emergency shelters that are activated by counties in consultation with the 하와이 비상 관리국 (HI-EMA). County’s emergency response resources and information are below:

• 호놀룰루 시 및 카운티: 비상 관리부
• 하와이 섬 카운티: 하와이 카운티 민방위국
• 마우이 카운티: 마우이 비상 관리 기관
• 카우아이 카운티: 카우아이 비상관리국

정전

Power outages may occur during school hours. While it can be inconvenient, school administrators and state office leadership will closely monitor local county alerts. If a power outage occurs, in most cases a school campus will remain open. Generally, keeping students on campus is the safest choice.

In the event of a school closure, notification will be sent from the school directly to families and will also be posted to the HIDOE website. Please ensure that your child’s school has your most up-to-date contact information.

​​​​​​비상 훈련

모두 schools conduct the following required drills (this 동영상 개요를 제공합니다):

• 봉쇄: 학교에서 내부 또는 외부 위협이 확인되면 봉쇄가 실행됩니다. 모든 학교 문은 잠기고 학생들은 교실에 갇힙니다. "모두 안전" 발표가 있을 때까지 학교에 들어가거나 나갈 수 없습니다.
• 대피소: 학생들은 위험 물질이나 심한 날씨로부터 자신을 보호하기 위해 지정된 구역에 대피합니다. "안전" 발표가 있을 때까지 학교에 들어가거나 나갈 수 없습니다.
• Evacuation (including fire): Certain emergencies may require students and staff to evacuate the school. Evacuations are conducted when it is no longer safe to remain on campus. In the event the emergency continues and students are not able to return to campus, parent or guardian reunification procedures will take place. Please familiarize yourself with your school’s reunification procedures.
• 지진: 행동 요령은 몸을 웅크리고, 몸을 가리고, 진동이 멈출 때까지 기다리는 것입니다.
• Tsunami: For schools in tsunami zones, this is an evacuation drill to a designated area away from the reach of tsunami waves.

Hurricane Preparedness

The Department monitors potential storms and hurricanes affecting the state in close coordination with state and county emergency management officials. Ahead of a storm, schools take precautions to secure campuses and reduce potential hazards. Following a severe weather event, schools assess facilities and grounds for damage to determine when it is safe for students and staff to return. Families and employees are encouraged to monitor official HIDOE communications, local media and county emergency management agencies for the latest information. For more information on preparing for hurricanes and other severe weather events, visit ready.hawaii.gov. 

Tsunami-Zone 학교

학교 that lie in tsunami zones practice evacuation based on a locally generated tsunami. This could result in a tsunami wave arriving on shore in 15-30 minutes. All schools practice evacuating tsunami zones within 10 minutes. Parents are directed to stay away from campus until the emergency has passed. 학교 that lie within the primary tsunami evacuation zone (color code red) include:

The following provides recommended guidance for “Distant Tsunami” on specific situations. These tsunamis can travel across the entire ocean basins and may take hours to reach land, allowing for more time to issue warnings and evacuate.

If a warning is issued prior to the start of the school day, school activity, and/or work day

If a warning is issued during the school day, at drop-off or pick-up, or during after-school care or events

If a tsunami watch is issued

제19장

In order to keep our schools safe, rules have been established relating to student misconduct. These rules also govern searches of students and seizures of property. Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules, 제19장(PDF), are derived from state law. It’s important that students and parents review this information to be aware of the consequences of a Chapter 19 violation. 

Safety on and off campus

Police will be engaged when there is real or perceived danger involving our students or campuses. Administrators and staff will initiate safety protocols when incidents happen on campus, and facilitate communication with families, community groups and law enforcement when incidents involving students happen off campus.

Hawaiʻi’s law enforcement organizations are an important part of keeping school communities safe. Police community outreach educates students about safety.

Families should also speak with their children about basic safety measures when they are out in public and do not have a trusted adult nearby:

• 낯선 사람으로부터 거리를 두고, 그들에게 말을 걸거나 아무것도 받지 마세요.
• 모르는 사람과는 어디에도 가지 마세요. 낯선 사람의 차를 절대 타지 마세요.
• 낯선 사람이 다가오면, 신뢰할 수 있는 어른에게 즉시 도움을 요청하세요.
• 친구 시스템을 이용하세요. 혼자 걷는 것은 피하세요.
• 낯선 사람이 당신을 붙잡으면, 그 낯선 사람을 멈추기 위해 무엇이든 하세요. 도움을 요청하세요.
• 의심스러운 활동이 있으면 신뢰할 수 있는 어른에게 신고하세요.
• Be alert of your surroundings and let others know where you will be and what time you will be back.

The surrounding school neighborhood and community are our partners in watching for and reporting suspicious activity around campuses. We encourage neighbors to report suspicious activity to school staff and/or law enforcement.
