The plan is designed to remain consistent with the policies and procedures established by the Diocese of Tulsa (“Diocese”) and has been reviewed by the Diocese of Tulsa Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure compliance with diocesan health, safety, and preparedness standards.
This document provides detailed guidance for responding to emergencies such as fire, medical incidents, intruders, severe weather, and other critical events.
Disclaimer
Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) represent reasonable efforts to implement best practices in emergency preparedness. No plan can anticipate every circumstance or variable. All personnel are expected to exercise sound judgment, remain situationally aware, and act in accordance with the conditions and information available at the time of an emergency.
Introduction
The Parish of Christ the King and Marquette Catholic School recognize the sacred duty to protect the life and dignity of every person entrusted to their care. Human life is a gift from God that must be respected, safeguarded, and nurtured in every circumstance.
This Emergency Action Plan (EAP) provides a unified framework for responding to emergencies that may affect parish and school operations. It outlines clear procedures to protect the well-being of students, faculty, staff, parishioners, and visitors during any emergency.
The plan integrates diocesan policies with applicable state and federal regulations to ensure consistent preparedness, timely response, and organized recovery following an incident.
This document applies to all parish and school personnel and is supported by ongoing training and safety exercises to ensure operational readiness. Response procedures, contact directories, and reporting forms are in the appendices.
The Church teaches that “human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God, and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end.” Life is a precious gift from God. It is a gift that must be respected, honored, and protected. The dignity of human persons is rooted in their creation in the image and likeness of God.
Human life is sacred and must be protected.
This Emergency Action Plan (EAP) was created to ensure the safety of all students, parishioners, staff, and visitors of Christ the King Parish and Marquette Catholic School. It includes planned responses to fire, weather emergencies, medical incidents, and intruder situations, in accordance with the Diocesan Emergency Action Plan.
All employees are responsible for carrying out this plan and will be fully trained in it. This EAP is designed as a resource tool that will determine what appropriate steps should be taken in an emergency and what will meet all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Response activities associated with specific threats and hazards are identified in the Appendix.

Immediate decision rule
• Warning = act now, not after discussion.
• Sirens are outdoor warnings; always confirm details using NOAA/NWS, phone alerts, or local emergency management.
• For school/parish/campus use: account for people first, then communicate status, then document issues after life safety is stable.
School decision rule - U.S. Department of Education / REMS framework
| Decision | Use this threshold before moving children | ||
| Take shelter / hold students | Use official warning, site conditions, and Incident Command. For tornadoes or severe wind: shelter immediately. For chemical or nearby hazard: shelter-in-place unless officials order evacuation. | ||
| Release from shelter | Do not release solely because a siren stops. Confirm warning expiration/all-clear, inspect for structural, electrical, gas, flood, debris, and secondary-storm hazards, then account for students/staff. | ||
| Allow parent pickup | Use controlled reunification only after the site is stable, or a safer reunification site is opened. Verify ID, log each student to release, keep emergency lanes open, and communicate one official pickup instruction. | ||
| Evacuate campus | Evacuate for fire, smoke, gas leak, bomb threat, structural instability, flood intrusion, or official order. Move by predetermined routes to accountability/reunification points. | ||

Tulsa Outdoor Warning Siren System
Tulsa operates more than 80 outdoor warning sirens across the city. Sirens are intended primarily to warn people who are outdoors about immediate danger and are audible for approximately one mile under normal conditions.
Sirens are only one part of Tulsa’s emergency warning system. Citizens should also monitor NOAA Weather Radio, NWS Tulsa alerts, local news media, wireless emergency alerts, and official emergency-management notifications.
Steady Tone (3 Minutes): A continuous steady tone warns of tornadoes or hazardous material / chemical releases. Seek shelter immediately and monitor official information sources.
Wavering Tone (3 Minutes): A wavering or wailing tone warns of nuclear attack. Seek immediate shelter and monitor emergency broadcasts.
High-Low Tone (3 Minutes): A repeating high-low tone warns of flooding. Move away from low-lying areas and never drive through floodwaters.
Upon hearing either the steady or wavering tones, move to shelter immediately and monitor official media sources for instructions. Upon hearing the flood tone, avoid flood-prone roadways, creeks, drainage channels, and water crossings.
Tulsa sirens are tested each Wednesday at noon, weather permitting. Tests are generally one minute in duration. Actual emergency warnings are three-minute activations.
School / Parish / Campus Guidance: Sirens alone should not determine release decisions. Use official warnings, emergency-management guidance, site conditions, accountability status, transportation safety, and Incident Command review before allowing parent pickup or release.

Complete this section as a form →APPENDIX- GENERAL EVACUATION PROCEDURES
Emergency procedures are in place to protect students and all school personnel from weather related and other problems. In case of an emergency evacuation of the school, parents/guardians, designated drivers have been asked to not immediately pick up their child from his/her teacher outside as this prevents us from getting an accurate record of everyone’s whereabouts. In the case of an evacuation, parents will be notified through our School Reach Phone System and through e-mail. Please do the following: Exit building as quickly as possible, following evacuation routes.
Bring paper for notes, pen/pencils and class roster. Check roll. Please do not count heads.
If you have any students unaccounted for, please write their names on paper and have a designated student take it immediately to the EVACUATION CENTER CHECK-IN LOCATION (Playground south of building).
Designated office staff (Evacuation Center Check-In Leads — currently Crissy Donatucci and Diane Hahn) will be responsible for this area and will need to bring paper, pen/pencil, plus a student and teacher schedule to this site to check out students to parents as they arrive at this location.
A pass will be issued to parents upon their checking in at the EVACUATION CENTER who in turn will give this to their child’s teacher, who then can release the child. Please be sure to mark a child on your roster as being picked up by parents so that we can have an accurate record of everyone’s whereabouts.
Parents will be notified about evacuation through an all-school e-mail or RenWeb Emergency Notification System phone call.

APPENDIX – Emergency Action Plan for Active Intruder / ALICE
Purpose
To provide clear, real-time procedures for all staff, parishioners, volunteers, and visitors at Christ the King Parish and Marquette Catholic School during an active intruder or violent threat. The goal is to save lives through situational awareness, rapid decision-making, and immediate protective action.
Situational Awareness
• Stay alert to unusual behavior, sounds, or disturbances.
• Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, act immediately.
• Quickly identify your nearest exits, potential barricade materials, and communication options wherever you are.
• Always be aware of your environmental context — location of students, parishioners, open doors, and potential threats.
• Every second matter’s. Do not wait for confirmation of danger before acting to protect yourself or others.
ALICE Emergency Response Procedures
| Step | Action | Key Directives |
| A – Alert | Clearly communicate the threat immediately. | Use intercom, radio, or phone to announce the threat in plain language (e.g., 'Intruder in the main hallway'). If safe, call 911. Share details — location, description, direction of movement. |
| L – Lockdown | Secure your location. | Lock or barricade doors using desks, eyebolts, or furniture. Turn off lights, silence phones, and move out of sight from doors and windows. Stay quiet but alert for new information. |
| I – Inform | Keep communication open. | Relay real-time information to help others make decisions. Use radios, text alerts, or intercom if possible. Provide updates such as 'Intruder moving toward the gym.' |
| C – Counter | Distract and disrupt only if in immediate danger. | If an intruder breaches your area and escape is impossible, create confusion—throw objects, make noise, move quickly. Your goal is disruption, not confrontation. |
| E – Evacuate | Escape the danger zone if safe. | Leave immediately through any safe exit, even if it is not your usual route. Take others with you, but do not wait. Move to designated rally points and call 911 once safe. |
REMEMBER: You do not need permission to act. Protect life first. Property and order can be restored later. Stay calm, speak clearly, and lead those around you.
APPENDIX- Response by Location
CURRICULUM BREAKDOWN BY GRADE LEVELS
| Grade Level | Evacuate | Lockdown | Counter |
| K–3rd | Evacuate like a fire drill. Following teacher directions to rally point. | Remain quiet, follow directions, move away from doors/windows. | Not taught. Focus on listening and staying safe. |
| 4th–5th | Quickly and safely move to rally point via assigned routes. | Assist barricading doors; spread out, stay quiet. | Not taught. Focus on teacher direction. |
| 6th–8th | Know routes and rally points; practice scenarios. | Assist in barricading; use distraction techniques when necessary. | Introduce basic countering like noise/movement only under direction. |
CHURCH & CHAPEL ALICE RESPONSE
| Step | Action | Response Guidance |
| Alert | Recognize signs of danger (sounds, behavior). | Alert others and call 911 immediately. |
| Lockdown | Barricade doors if evacuation is unsafe. | Use available items to block entry; prepare to counter if breached. |
| Inform | Communicate intruder’s location and behavior. | Provide real-time updates to responders. |
| Counter | Distract and disorient. | Make noise, move, or throw objects to create an opportunity to escape. |
| Evacuate | Exit when safe. | Move to rally points like the ECDC building; stay out of line of sight. |
Classrooms / Offices:
• Lock or barricade doors.
• Turn off lights, silence all devices, move away from windows.
• Keep students calm and quiet.
• Prepare for evacuation if conditions change.
Hallways / Open Areas:
• Evacuate immediately if a clear path exists.
• If trapped, enter the nearest securable room and lockdown.
• Avoid large open areas unless escape is certain.
Church / Chapel / Gathering Spaces:
• Identify exits and move quickly to them if safe.
• If evacuation is not possible, move behind solid barriers (pews, altar base, sacristy areas).
• Use portable radios or phones to communicate intruder location.
• Encourage others to stay low, remain quiet, and follow your lead.
Outdoor Areas:
• Evacuate away from the threat to the farthest safe location.
• Move behind solid cover (buildings, trees, vehicles).
• Once safe, call 911 and report details.
If Law Enforcement Arrives
• Remain calm and follow all instructions.
• Keep hands visible and empty.
• Do not shout, run toward officers, or make sudden movements.
• Provide information about the intruder’s description, weapons, and location.
Post-Incident Actions
• Follow all directions from law enforcement.
• Report injuries or missing people to command staff immediately.
• Do not re-enter buildings until cleared.
• Provide emotional and physical support to students, staff, and parishioners.
Key Principles
• Situational Awareness Saves Lives- DO NOT ASSUME-Always know your surroundings.
• Decentralized Decision-Everyone has the authority to act.
• Dynamic Response -ALICE steps are not linear; use the safest option available.
• Calm Leadership -Fear is contagious; so is calm. Your tone and composure influence others’ survival.
APPENDIX- INTRUDER IN BUILDING
All strangers should be stopped and asked about his/her business in the building. Courteously direct anyone you do not know to the main office to check in.
If he/she refuses or is hostile, do not argue. Notify office staff at once. The principal and assistant principal will be contacted. Do not engage anyone who appears hostile. Do everything to protect yourself and students.
As determined by administrator and office staff, Police (911) will be contacted.
If a stranger is deemed a threat, an INTRUDER IN BUILDING/LOCK DOWN will be announced where teachers and students are to lock themselves in rooms until given the all-clear signal, which will be INTRUDER IN BUILDING/LOCKDOWN CANCELLATION.
Employees other than administration may indicate a lockdown if the situation is serious. Employees have permission to initiate the process without seeking administrative approval first. Please notify the office immediately of a situation that would warrant a lockdown.
A LOCKDOWN IS A RESPONSE TO A THREAT THAT IS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. AN INTRUDER ON CAMPUS IS INTERPRETED AS SOMEONE INSIDE THE BUILDING OR ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET IN.
If the threat is OUTSIDE on the campus property or outside the buildings, all exterior doors should be locked, shades pulled, and everyone needs to stay away from windows. Depending on how serious the threat may be, lock classroom doors, shelter in the room, and turning out the lights may be necessary. The point is to keep the threat outside and keep an assailant from getting into the building or harming anyone through a window or opening.
If the threat is INSIDE, the process is different. We leave curtains or blinds open if the threat is inside, so emergency responders can see into the building and see if the threat is standing in a particular room, so escape is possible.
In “Lock-Down:”
911 will be called
CLEAR HALLS of all students. Please bring any students in the hall near your room into your class whether they are part of your official class or not. Make a list of these students and their regularly assigned teacher/classroom and tape to window of door. Include any missing children from your classroom on that list and delineate between the two.
Place a pre-designated colored card outside your classroom door on the floor – Green for everyone who is accounted for and safe or Red for a child who is missing or hurt. If a card is not placed outside your door, administration and law enforcement will assume that an intruder is in your classroom.
Lock doors, turn off lights, close windows/shades, move students away from doors/windows. Barricade the door with any heavy object or furniture if the door cannot be secured. Silence cell phones.
Inform your students in a calm way that a “lockdown” is underway and explain what it means.
When the police arrive, they oversee the situation.
LOCKDOWN EVACUATION PROCEDURES
Building Signal is given to begin Lock Down; Lock Down Occurs
DURING SOME LOCK DOWNS, AN EVACUATION MAY BE NECESSARY.
A law enforcement official (usually a Tulsa Police Officer) will come to your classroom to initiate the evacuation.
Evacuate only if you are instructed to do so by a law enforcement official. The law enforcement official will provide specific instructions to conduct the evacuation. Follow all of these instructions carefully. Assist the official with communications with your class and with ensuring that students understand the instructions that are given.
Follow the evacuation route established by the Police. This may or may not be the Fire Drill Evacuation route of your classroom.
Take your gradebook. When you arrive at the post-evacuation point, keep your class together.
Further instructions will be provided as soon as possible. Wait and reassure students. REMEMBER that police officials are dealing with a very volatile situation and may have to ask questions or, in some cases, double-check to ensure that no perpetrator is with your group masquerading as a student/teacher in order to escape.
Departure from the school site MAY be necessary. If this occurs, the Evacuation Site for our school will be used wherever possible.
DO NOT DISMISS ANY STUDENT UNTIL THE OFFICIAL WORD IS GIVEN TO DO SO.
For a “Modified Lock – Down:”
All exterior doors will be locked, and no persons will be allowed in or out, unless cleared by the principal, assistant principal or designee.
School will continue to function as close to normal as possible INSIDE in the building.
All clear will be an intercom announcement “LOCKDOWN CANCELLATION.”
Courteously ask the person if they need to be directed to the office. If they say “no,” and remain near the kids or pose a threat, bring students to the room immediately and notify principal and assistant principal and office staff about the situation. Do not engage anyone who appears hostile. Do everything to protect yourself and students.
As determined by administration and office staff, police will be called, and all exterior doors will remain locked. No one will be allowed in or out unless cleared by the administration.
School will continue to function as closely to normal as possible in the building. All clear will be an intercom announcement “LOCK DOWN CANCELLATION.”

Failure to report such information promptly, false reports, or reporting with lack of factual foundation, is a misdemeanor. The law also grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to a person who in good faith makes such a report. It is not the responsibility of school personnel to prove the child has been abused or neglected.
Any suspected case of child abuse must be reported to the principal or assistant principal.
If the evidence appears to confirm the suspicion, immediately phone (918-581-2401) the child abuse office of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services – there should be no delay in reporting. Father Elkin Gonzalez and Superintendent of Catholic Schools, David Dean, will be contacted.
The principal will complete a “Child Abuse Report” and it will be signed by the principal, and any other staff member involved.
Appropriately identified investigators of the Department of Human Services of the District Attorney’s Office will be permitted access to a student involved in suspected child abuse.
The principal/assistant principal will arrange the interview in a manner that minimizes embarrassment to the child.
The principal/assistant principal or designated employees WILL BE PRESENT DURING THE INTERVIEW.
APPENDIX- INDICATORS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE
One or more of these indicators, or if they are happening in a pattern, could be a possibility of abuse.
PHYSICAL INDICATORS -
Questionable bruises or welts:
On the face, lips, mouth, torso, back, bottom, or thighs.
Human bite marks.
Reflecting the shape of the article used to inflict (fly swatter, belt, electric cord).
In various stages of healing.
Marks are often new after a weekend, or absence

MEDIA RELATIONS
News departments monitor police, fire, and ambulance radio dispatch scanners. Therefore, reporters are aware of most emergency calls and often arrive on the scene very quickly or telephone for immediate information.
In case the news media shows up, please contact the principal or assistant principal. They in turn will apprise Father Elkin Gonzalez and Superintendent, David Dean, of the situation.
The Principal (Jay Luetkemeyer) is the designated school spokesperson with the media unless someone else is designated.
Be accessible-be prepared, be honest-be brief-stick to the facts and do not give your opinion-stress to student safety.
Designate an area for media, both inside/outside buildings.
Know what is being done to help students and staff cope with the situation.
Confidentiality must be maintained to protect students’ rights.
Never say “No comment.” Instead say, “I will have to get back to you.”
If you don’t know the answer, say, “I don’t know, but will find out.”
Remember, few things are ever “off the record,” and the interview is not over until the reporter leaves.
Sample Crisis Media Release:
“Thank you for your concerns. Our staff is assessing the situation currently.”

HEAT SAFETY TIPS FOR SCHOOLS
As classes begin during the hottest part of the year, the Oklahoma State Department of Health offers the following guidelines to help parents, teachers and school administrators be aware of heat-related illnesses and other safety concerns. The extreme temperatures that Oklahoma experiences mean that adults should be even more cautious than usual when it comes to hydration needs for students, as well as a range of other concerns such as hot playground equipment that could cause burns.
HYDRATION:
Ensure that students are well hydrated and have access to cool and shady areas to cool off.
Provide access to plenty of cool water as the liquid of choice.
Encourage students to drink water, even when they are not thirsty.
CLOTHING:
Encourage students to wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored summer clothing.
BUSES – Refers to field trips
Consider stocking school buses with heat illness emergency kits including ice chests with ice, bottled water and wet towels.
Try to limit time children spend outdoors waiting for buses, or inside a parked school bus that has not cooled down during the loading process.
OUTDOOR
Consider modification of practice schedules for athletics and other events.
Avoid utilizing playground equipment that may become very hot at extreme temperatures.
Move outdoor activities indoors when feasible to a cooler area.
STAYING COOL
To prevent heat fatigue, offer regularly scheduled rest periods
Indoor temperatures can sometimes exceed the outdoor temperature, especially if there is no air conditioning or if air conditioning is not working properly. To assist in keeping the classroom temperature comfortable, keep windows and doors open with at least one fan moving air throughout the room.
Allow students to utilize alternative areas that may be cooler, such as those located on the lower or ground level of the school or shady areas on the school grounds.
Consider relocation of classes if air conditioning is not functioning properly.
RECOGNITION OF HEAT ILLNESS:
Encourage students to tell teachers if they feel ill.
Be aware of these heat stress symptoms:
Muscle spasms and cramps.
Skin is flushed, or cool and pale.
Headaches, dizziness, and nausea.
Rapid pulse rate.
Shallow breathing.
Elevated body temperature (in cases of heat stroke, body temperature can be very high, sometimes as high as 105 degrees F).
The sensation of sweat.
Loss of consciousness.
TREATMENT OF HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES
Move the person to a cooler place to rest in a comfortable position.
Replenish fluids – Give person small amounts (4-5 ounces) of water every 15 minutes.
Make sure the person drinks slowly.
Loosen tight clothing.
Apply wet clothes or immerse yourself in a cool bath.
Immediately call 911 if the person loses consciousness.
Marquette has contacted TPS to notify our school in the event of a lightning threat. If there is a lightning threat, outside events will be postponed or cancelled. If during the end of the day dismissal, students and adult personnel will remain inside and parents must come in the building to pick up their children. If it occurs at dismissal, the following will take place.
Grades 6-8 will be dismissed at back doors facing Rockford. Grades 3-5 will be dismissed from the main door.
Grades K-2 will be dismissed from kindergarten doors facing the guard shack.
*Older students will go to the location of the youngest sibling.
APPENDIX- EMERGENCY PROCEDURES -ACCIDENTS/ILLNESS/MEDICATION
If a student incurs injury as the result of an accident, please complete an ACCIDENT REPORT FORM.
Personnel assisting students with open wounds or who have vomited are asked to wear rubber gloves.
Medications may be dispensed only by authorized personnel and only if written parent authorization is on file. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY MEDICATION.
All new teachers are encouraged to have current CPR training. Veteran teachers need updated training every five years. Marquette is responsible for emergency handling of accidents/sudden illness occurring at school and during school-sponsored activities.
In case of accidents or injuries please adhere to the following:
Give students immediate and temporary first aid care, if necessary, to preserve life, to prevent dangerous loss of blood, or to prevent other such emergencies. When treating a wound of any kind, personnel must use gloves. If there is spurting blood or vomiting, goggles and rubber masks should be worn.
Notify administration and child parent/guardian. In all cases where it is possible to do so, wait for instructions from parent/guardian before proceeding. The school’s right to give treatment goes no further than immediate first aid, which will protect the life of the individual until additional treatment is secured.
The school should have student emergency information, delegating the school the right to contact others besides parent/guardian in case they cannot be reached. Family physicians will be called.
Ordinarily, School personnel should not transport seriously injured/ill student unless there is an emergency need to do so. If parents cannot provide transportation to medical treatment, ambulances should be called.
If a child remains seriously injured/ill at the end of the school day, he/she shall not be allowed to go home unless accompanied by parent/guardian. No child shall be allowed to leave School during regular school hours unaccompanied by a parent/guardian/parent delegate unless written request has been received.
After a serious accident or emergency illness, a record of the incident and procedures taken must be made and filed.
School reserves the right to act as deemed necessary by the principal or designee in a life-threatening illness.
Unclaimed or unused medications at the end of the year will be given back to parents. If a student leaves before the school year ends, unclaimed or unused medications will be given to their parents. If parents don’t respond, the medication will be disposed of in the proper manner. Schedule I drugs will be surrendered to law enforcement for disposal or destruction.
If lightning occurs while an outdoor event is being held, all students and adults will be brought inside immediately.
