Dear Parents/Guardians:
In case we need to evacuate Jack Hulland Elementary School in an emergency, our alternate gathering places are The Guild Hall or Porter Creek Secondary School. Because Yukon is located in an earthquake-prone area, and other natural or physical plan emergencies can occur which require us to evacuate the school, we want to remind you that, in the case of such an event, the following procedures will be followed.

We are prepared to care for children in the event of a critical situation, or if parents or guardians are not able to reach the school. We have a number of people with first aid certifications, and we will be in communication with local emergency services, as required. We do ask for your help in the following areas:
- DO turn on your radio to CBC (570) or CKRW (610 on the AM dial, or CHON (98.1) on the FM dial; information and directions will be given over the radio.
- DO NOT call the school please; we must have the lines open for emergency calls.
- DO NOT immediately drive to the school following an earthquake or other city-wide emergency; streets and access to our school may be cluttered with debris; the school access routes and street entrance areas must remain clear for emergency vehicles.
