1. 0:01Hello BCIS and welcome to Alice training
2. 0:04for students. I am Luis Jaramillo, the
3. 0:07safety coordinator for Visalia Unified
4. 0:10School District, and I will be running
5. 0:13through
6. 0:14the slides for Alice, giving you
7. 0:17instructions on what to do in case of
8. 0:19emergency so that you know what to do to
9. 0:21keep safe. But please do me a favor,
10. 0:24read the slides as I will be covering
11. 0:26them very quickly
12. 0:27and you are expected to learn about
13. 0:30them. So pause them if needed and review
14. 0:33them afterward because you will be asked
15. 0:35questions by your staff. So please pay
16. 0:38attention if you can and we'll go from
17. 0:41there. So I will be sharing my screen
18. 0:43now so that you have this information
19. 0:47so that you can understand Alice, what
20. 0:50it is and how to help keep safe. So
21. 0:53first of all, Alice is an acronym. It's
22. 0:56an acronym that stands for alert,
23. 0:58lockdown, inform, counter, and evacuate.
24. 1:00I'll explain that in a second, but
25. 1:02again, it's something for you to know so
26. 1:05that in case something happens, you are
27. 1:07aware of what to do
28. 1:09to take care of yourself and stay safe.
29. 1:11So Alice empowers all citizens with the
30. 1:13skills and knowledge to respond when
31. 1:16shots are fired. I understand that this
32. 1:18is a little bit of a sensitive topic. I
33. 1:20apologize ahead of time, but it is
34. 1:23something that we believe it is
35. 1:25important to talk about to make sure
36. 1:27that you already think ahead. So when
37. 1:30you're watching this, feel free to have
38. 1:32your parents also listen in or talk to
39. 1:34them about it. This is really important
40. 1:36for us in our school system, but we also
41. 1:39want to to involve our community so that
42. 1:41we all are ready in case something goes
43. 1:44wrong. So let's get started.
44. 1:47So again, Alice, I'm going to break it
45. 1:49down into two different sections. If you
46. 1:51look at this slide, you will see on the
47. 1:53left awareness and communication. I like
48. 1:55to say this is something that should be
49. 1:58done ahead of time. You should already
50. 1:59be doing this and thinking about this.
51. 2:02Situational awareness I'll I'll talk it
52. 2:04a little bit in about this about how you
53. 2:06should already be aware of your
54. 2:08surroundings at all times. And then
55. 2:10alert and inform thinking ahead about
56. 2:13how you will be alerted of different
57. 2:14emergencies, how you can become an alert
58. 2:17to someone else therefore informing them
59. 2:19of situations around you.
60. 2:22The right side talks about response
61. 2:23options. It is what we would do or
62. 2:26should do in case of emergency and I'll
63. 2:28break those down as we move forward.
64. 2:31So first situational awareness. When you
65. 2:33think about situational awareness, it is
66. 2:36what you are seeing, what's in front of
67. 2:39you and your perception about it. It's
68. 2:42like when you are in your quad area by
69. 2:45your math building and you're there
70. 2:47let's just say you have
71. 2:48your earbuds on and you're just
72. 2:50listening to music and then just looking
73. 2:52at your phone doing nothing but just
74. 2:54that. Are you really aware of your
75. 2:56surroundings at that point? I would say
76. 2:58no because you're not looking at someone
77. 3:01walking by. You're not looking at a
78. 3:03vehicle coming into the school. You're
79. 3:05not looking and being aware of what's
80. 3:06going on. So comprehending what you're
81. 3:08seeing is huge. I ask that you think
82. 3:12about this.
83. 3:13Like when you go to a store, a
84. 3:15restaurant, are you going and just
85. 3:17walking from the parking lot to the
86. 3:19store with just your phone and looking
87. 3:21at your phone not paying attention of
88. 3:23dangers that might be around you? That's
89. 3:25called situational awareness. I
90. 3:27challenge you
91. 3:29to stop,
92. 3:30look around for a second,
93. 3:32and think what is it that I'm seeing.
94. 3:35That right there my friends is
95. 3:36situational awareness. Practice this
96. 3:40just all the time every time you have a
97. 3:41chance to think about what it is that
98. 3:44you're seeing. Let me explain it a
99. 3:45little bit more.
100. 3:46Cooper color code of awareness allows
101. 3:49you to kind of put it in different
102. 3:50phases.
103. 3:51Here's something that I would say you
104. 3:53don't want to ever want to be in. So,
105. 3:55code white is when you're completely
106. 3:57unaware, unprepared, not
107. 3:59oblivious to the environment. Um, so pay
108. 4:02attention to this. Questions may be
109. 4:04asked later as to what these colors
110. 4:06mean.
111. 4:07And so, here people that are in color
112. 4:09code white are oblivious and unaware.
113. 4:12You don't want to be there. What you
114. 4:14want to be is yellow. Yellow means
115. 4:16you're relaxed and alert. People that
116. 4:18are in this environment are people that
117. 4:20could still be relaxed, doing their
118. 4:22thing, moving, talking, talking with
119. 4:24people, but still being aware of what's
120. 4:27around them. They might be a little bit
121. 4:29more, um, kind of keeping their head on
122. 4:32a swivel, making eye contact with people
123. 4:34as they're walking by.
124. 4:36So, it helps to not be a target.
125. 4:40The next one with orange. Now, here if
126. 4:42you were to be in in the a case of
127. 4:44emergency, you have a heightened level
128. 4:46of awareness. All of a sudden your
129. 4:47spidey senses kicked in. You feel like
130. 4:50the goosebumps, right? You're you're
131. 4:52getting your sixth sense telling you
132. 4:55something's wrong. Pay closer attention.
133. 4:58People that are in this in this color
134. 5:01are aware of what's going on. They have
135. 5:03the sense of danger. They may have heard
136. 5:05a gunshot. They may be smelling the
137. 5:08smoke or seeing the flames. Something is
138. 5:10telling them, "Beware. There's danger
139. 5:13ahead."
140. 5:14Now,
141. 5:15when we get to the red, this is when the
142. 5:17danger has become real. It's right in
143. 5:20front of you. It's imminent. You can't
144. 5:22avoid it. Now, here when you're in red,
145. 5:24this means the situation is dangerous.
146. 5:27It needs action. You need to respond.
147. 5:30And depending on the threat and the
148. 5:32training you receive will be depending
149. 5:33on how you respond, which is why we're
150. 5:36giving you ALICE training right now to
151. 5:37think about different things in case you
152. 5:39were to ever to be be around an
153. 5:42incident.
154. 5:43Now, the last one,
155. 5:45um, black. The breakdown of mental and
156. 5:48physical response. You've probably heard
157. 5:50of fight, flight, or freeze. This would
158. 5:52be the freeze. This would be where
159. 5:54people just can't even think. They're so
160. 5:55overwhelmed, they're not able able to
161. 5:58think. They're too stressed, and they
162. 6:01don't know what to do to respond, and
163. 6:02sometimes they just don't respond at
164. 6:04all. What does that mean? That means you
165. 6:07may you may fail to do something to
166. 6:11protect yourself,
167. 6:12which would not be a good thing. So, try
168. 6:15to avoid being in this situation, and
169. 6:18one way to avoid this is being aware of
170. 6:21your surroundings, thinking ahead of
171. 6:23what you could do with hypothetical
172. 6:25situations,
173. 6:27thinking of circumstances, and then
174. 6:28talking it through in your with someone
175. 6:30or in your mind. What would I do if this
176. 6:32were to happen? Stuff like that will
177. 6:34help you not be in this situation. So,
178. 6:37those are the different colors. Now,
179. 6:40let's talk about alert. Alert means
180. 6:43first of all, what you're receiving um
181. 6:46that gives you an alert. So, the initial
182. 6:48awareness. So, pay attention to this one
183. 6:50as well. It could be something that you
184. 6:52get asked about later. You [snorts]
185. 6:54might use all your senses to be alerted
186. 6:58of something. It's similar to if you see
187. 7:01smoke, that might be an alert saying,
188. 7:04"Hey, there's possibly a fire
189. 7:05happening." You might smell something uh
190. 7:09for example, um smoke again, or smell
191. 7:12gas and think there might be problem a
192. 7:14problem somewhere. You might hear the
193. 7:16gunshots,
194. 7:18um taste is a different one cuz you
195. 7:19might not taste any danger, but hey,
196. 7:21there might be some, right?
197. 7:23You might also be alerted from a text
198. 7:25message, a phone call. You might be
199. 7:27alerted from an all call notification if
200. 7:29you're on campus. If you're out in the
201. 7:31community, you might hear um other ways
202. 7:34other messages or people screaming that
203. 7:36might alert you that there's something
204. 7:38wrong. So, that's A for alert.
205. 7:41Now, sending information is a wonderful
206. 7:44way to help others be alerted of a
207. 7:46situation. I know this is a little bit
208. 7:48wordy. I'm just going to summarize.
209. 7:50Sending information to people like 911,
210. 7:53you're calling 911 therefore telling
211. 7:55them, "Hey, there's an emergency here."
212. 7:58You're informing people therefore
213. 8:00alerting them also of what's happening
214. 8:03so they can be alerted to either send
215. 8:05help or if you're alerting your friends
216. 8:07if you're at school, you're helping them
217. 8:10then decide what to do to stay safe. So,
218. 8:12look at here for different information
219. 8:15on suggestions that that we should think
220. 8:18about when sending information.
221. 8:22Positive you need to that way you can be
222. 8:24aware of this so that you can answer
223. 8:26questions when questions come your way.
224. 8:30Now, my favorite, evacuation.
225. 8:34This, if possible, when it's safe to do
226. 8:37so, is the best response for a critical
227. 8:40incident. Why? You might ask. Because if
228. 8:44there's danger nearby you and you can
229. 8:47create distance between you and the
230. 8:49danger,
231. 8:50the farther away you go, the safer you
232. 8:54become. If you're able to remove
233. 8:56yourself from a situation, then please
234. 8:57do so. Here are some key points that we
235. 8:59want to make sure that you cover or you
236. 9:01you understand. First, you have
237. 9:04permission to evacuate if it's safe to
238. 9:06do so. A lot of times you may not know,
239. 9:08so consult with your teaching staff.
240. 9:10Consult with your teacher because of
241. 9:12Raptor an emergency information system
242. 9:14that we have, it may give them
243. 9:16information through there where I might
244. 9:19be able to tell them of the dangers, the
245. 9:21location so they can know where where
246. 9:23the danger's coming from, therefore
247. 9:25telling you, and then you can make a
248. 9:27wiser decision that way. But if you're
249. 9:29out around on campus and you hear
250. 9:31gunshots happening from within a
251. 9:33building, but you're out in the quad,
252. 9:35don't ask for a teacher's permission or
253. 9:38don't wait to ask. If you're able to
254. 9:40leave at that point, leave. If you can
255. 9:42jump a fence, jump a fence. Get out as
256. 9:46quickly as possible, as safe as
257. 9:47possible, creating that distance to
258. 9:50therefore give you a little bit more of
259. 9:53safety. Don't worry about belongings or
260. 9:55property. Please leave. Um
261. 9:58rally points are important. Talk to your
262. 10:00teachers about where your rally points
263. 10:02are so that you can, if possible, go to
264. 10:05one of those locations where we will
265. 10:07send help to pick you up in buses, pick
266. 10:10you up and take you to a location where
267. 10:12you can be reunited with your parents.
268. 10:14If you drive, do me a favor, don't drive
269. 10:17out of there. There could be other
270. 10:19potential hazards and dangers with
271. 10:21vehicles and explosive devices, and also
272. 10:24you might be blocked in from responding
273. 10:26officers, paramedics, and and every
274. 10:28other first responder that's coming to
275. 10:30assist those that may not be able to
276. 10:32leave. So, if possible, do not drive.
277. 10:36Lockdown.
278. 10:37L for lockdown. Now, when you talk about
279. 10:39lockdown, think about if you do not have
280. 10:42an option to leave
281. 10:44and the danger is right outside your
282. 10:46door or nearby or you don't know where
283. 10:49they're at and you don't feel safe
284. 10:50leaving, then the next best Oh, sorry.
285. 10:53Next best option is just to block,
286. 10:57barricade, and make it difficult for
287. 10:59someone to come into your area where
288. 11:02you're at.
289. 11:04Look at your doors ahead of time.
290. 11:05Situational awareness. Pay attention. Do
291. 11:08they open in or out? And regardless of
292. 11:11it, if the door is locked and you
293. 11:12barricade it like this picture shows,
294. 11:15if you barricade it with different
295. 11:16things, will that stop bullets?
296. 11:19No.
297. 11:20But, it will deter someone or slow
298. 11:23someone down if they're trying to get
299. 11:25in.
300. 11:26Controlling your room is the best thing
301. 11:28to do when you're not able to leave. So,
302. 11:31here, pay attention to this slide. You
303. 11:34can use desks, chairs, tables, anything
304. 11:36else around you to control that. Make it
305. 11:38to where people cannot come in.
306. 11:41Now, if the door were to open up and
307. 11:43anything else, we'll talk a little bit
308. 11:45more about counter in a second.
309. 11:47But, when you're in that area, pay
310. 11:50attention to this slide. There will
311. 11:51maybe questions about this one as well.
312. 11:54Once the door is controlled,
313. 11:57and then, there's some options here.
314. 12:00What are considerations? Think about
315. 12:02these.
316. 12:03And again, questions may be asked.
317. 12:06So, look at these options and think.
318. 12:09Picture it in your head.
319. 12:11You as a student, sometimes,
320. 12:14you might be the one to lead other
321. 12:16students if there's no teacher around
322. 12:18you. If there's a teacher around you,
323. 12:20they might lead you, or they might ask
324. 12:23for help. So, think about how you might
325. 12:25be able to be more prepared by
326. 12:27understanding things that might or
327. 12:29should be done around your area when
328. 12:32you're at school, or when you're at a
329. 12:35restaurant or movie theater. These still
330. 12:38apply to those areas. All these
331. 12:40different things I'm talking about with
332. 12:41Alice. The safety concepts carry through
333. 12:45regardless of your environment.
334. 12:48Now, counter strategy.
335. 12:51This is optional.
336. 12:53This you are a student. Please don't
337. 12:56think that this is something you have to
338. 12:58do. We train our teachers and our all
339. 13:01our staff to be ready for this if
340. 13:03possible.
341. 13:04But,
342. 13:05when this is an option, or if this is an
343. 13:09option and you feel like you're able to,
344. 13:12then consider these as your options. To
345. 13:15overwhelm the intruder, to use
346. 13:17environmental objects around you.
347. 13:19Picture someone throwing um a ball at
348. 13:21you, and you weren't ready to catch it.
349. 13:23What's your first response and and and
350. 13:25action right away? If someone throws
351. 13:27something at you, right away it's to
352. 13:28block.
353. 13:30It's just a human response. Think about
354. 13:32that kind of response and think about
355. 13:34how you might be able to make someone be
356. 13:36like that. And I'm going to give you
357. 13:38something. Any action will always be a
358. 13:40reaction.
359. 13:42So, if you can create the intruder or
360. 13:45create an action to them, so they can
361. 13:48have an action to respond, your action
362. 13:50makes you ahead of the game. And if you
363. 13:52continue, you will be ahead of the game
364. 13:55to where then you can do more if
365. 13:57necessary. Again, your teachers are
366. 13:59trained more on this, but I want to make
367. 14:02sure you understand what counter means.
368. 14:05So, just a few key points here.
369. 14:09Um and this is a personal option for
370. 14:11everybody, especially for you students,
371. 14:14but this is for you to understand what
372. 14:16we are training our our teaching staff
373. 14:18to do.
374. 14:20Now, this is really important, this next
375. 14:23one.
376. 14:24What to expect when law enforcement
377. 14:26shows up.
378. 14:27I know uh
379. 14:29it's going to be a stressful environment
380. 14:31if this really takes place, but please
381. 14:34understand a couple of things or a few
382. 14:35things. Listen, listen, listen to
383. 14:39officers' instructions.
384. 14:42Next thing.
385. 14:43Please, when you're running out and
386. 14:45evacuating, please don't have items um
387. 14:49that you're holding. Please drop any
388. 14:51items or put them in your pockets,
389. 14:53whatever, but come come out with your
390. 14:55hands up like this. And why, if you're
391. 14:57not a bad guy, you might be asking?
392. 15:00Because when officers are coming and
393. 15:02they're coming like this really fast,
394. 15:05they need to make sure they quickly
395. 15:07glance at people coming out and make
396. 15:09sure they're not the bad guy coming out
397. 15:11with a gun. If you come out with your
398. 15:13hands up like this showing your hands,
399. 15:15they can clearly visibly see that you're
400. 15:18a good or you're not a bad guy with a
401. 15:19gun and can go to the next, go to the
402. 15:21next, go to the next, scanning everybody
403. 15:23really quickly as they run toward the
404. 15:26gunshots to get to the bad guy.
405. 15:29So, we have to understand that to also
406. 15:31understand what our response should be.
407. 15:34Please be as calm as possible. If you
408. 15:36have information as to where the bad guy
409. 15:38or bad person is, point out as you're
410. 15:41coming out, but understand if you are
411. 15:43injured or hurt, they may not have the
412. 15:46time to stop and help you at that
413. 15:47moment, but hopefully as more and more
414. 15:50come, then they will. But just be aware
415. 15:53of that. If you have information, share
416. 15:55it. If you don't, just please come out.
417. 15:57Either way, come out with your hands up
418. 15:59and understand that they are there to
419. 16:01stop the threat first
420. 16:03and then start helping people.
421. 16:06I know this is scary, but I appreciate
422. 16:08you understanding this part because this
423. 16:10is important to understand so that you
424. 16:12understand if it happens and you're
425. 16:14around the situation,
426. 16:16you know how to respond and be safe.
427. 16:20So, when you think about Alice, I know I
428. 16:22I went through really briefly, but
429. 16:24again, this is more just understanding
430. 16:27the basics.
431. 16:28When it comes to Alice, Alice is the
432. 16:31concept that explains, first, be aware
433. 16:35of your surroundings.
434. 16:37On a daily basis, start thinking about
435. 16:39if this were to happen, how would I
436. 16:41respond?
437. 16:43Are you really truly seeing these things
438. 16:46around you? Because when you're around
439. 16:49your student quad or the park and you
440. 16:53see students at the park,
441. 16:54are you really seeing the students at
442. 16:56the park or are you just seeing people
443. 16:59and a park? If you really start paying
444. 17:01attention, will you pay attention to see
445. 17:03that a person there's really not a
446. 17:05student, maybe a person who looks really
447. 17:07suspicious?
448. 17:09Things like this might help you stay
449. 17:11safe,
450. 17:13might help you be able to summon for
451. 17:15help quicker. That way you can help
452. 17:17protect one another, protect your
453. 17:19friends, protect your teachers, and
454. 17:21ultimately keep your PCIS safe. So,
455. 17:24thank you for listening.
456. 17:26Please review this again if you want to
457. 17:29re

461. 17:36activities to be followed to see how

464. 17:44awareness. Thank you for your time. I
