Emergency Lockdown Buckets

We suggest creating a lockdown bucket for each classroom. Each bucket should contain emergency supplies as ell as non=perishable snacks, water, and activities to be used in the event of a long period in lockdown.

Put the following items in a 5-gallon bucket:

• First aid kit
• Rubber gloves
• Door jam
• Rope or webbing, minimum 15 feet. Nylon or polypropylene
• Tarp (6’ x 8’ or 8’ x 10’)
• Plastic trash bags (3 or 4)
• Window breaker
• Cardboard/poster board to cover windows/doors
• Toilet paper
• Wipes
• Water bottles
• Duct tape
• Hard candies
• Crackers
• Activities to keep children occupied
• Phone chargers
