The following resources are intended to assist our school communities in preparing for wildfires, as well as the impacts resulting from poor air quality. Contact San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) Safety Coordinator Tim Ware at for additional assistance. Share this plan, along with your school’s Comprehensive School Safety Plan, with families each year. It includes an Evacuation Decision Tree, response protocols and procedures, communications supports, and other resources. If your district or school does not have an existing School Protection and Evacuation Plan, now is the time to collaborate with your local law enforcement and fire officials to create one. Schools should make sure their plan is updated before there is a fire event. All San Diego County schools have established a fire protection and evacuation plan and work regularly with public safety agencies to coordinate preparedness efforts to protect life, property, and critical infrastructure, and to clearly outline procedures and protocols for when evacuation or voluntary dismissal becomes necessary. In California, high winds and extremely dry conditions can create extreme fire danger, requiring schools to prepare for the varied and complex impact of wildfires, smoke, and/or poor air quality. One of the top priorities for local schools is to provide a safe and secure learning environment for students, which includes preparing for a variety of circumstances.
