Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a classroom lockdown kit?
Lockdown kits stay in the classroom for shelter-in-place use. This go bag is portable and supports movement when classrooms must evacuate or relocate.
Do we need one per classroom?
Most schools select one go bag per instructional space to ensure emergency supplies remain available regardless of building location during movement.
Can we customize the contents?
Yes. Items such as rosters, medication supplies, communication cards, or district safety documents can be added.
Who typically purchases these kits?
School safety officers, district preparedness teams, facilities departments, and PTA/PTO safety committees.
What grades is this appropriate for?
Suitable for Pre-K through 12th grade environments. The backpack is often preferred for older grades or areas requiring hands-free travel.
This product supports classroom-level emergency readiness and is commonly incorporated into school lockdown, shelter-in-place, and emergency operations planning. Many schools use options-based safety frameworks such as ALICE® (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate), SRP™, Run-Hide-Fight™, or district-specific emergency protocols. Because teachers and students may be unable to leave the room during certain situations, placing essential supplies at the classroom level helps support safety, comfort, and continuity until the situation is resolved.
Many districts standardize one kit per instructional space to ensure preparedness is consistent across grade levels, buildings, and campuses. This approach supports alignment with Emergency Operations Plans (EOP), Standard Response Protocols (SRP), and broader school safety requirements.
