The Big 5
The 'Big 5' are five emergency situations that schools and emergency response agencies in San Mateo County adopted common language for training. This creates consistency for our students, employees, community members, and first responders. Our campus conducts emergency preparedness drills for at least once a semester for one of the 'Big 5'.
