Preparing for Lockdown Procedures and Martyn’s Law
Many organisations across Birmingham are reviewing emergency procedures, including evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication. A lockdown alarm does not replace a full emergency plan, but it can form an important part of how staff are alerted when a fast response is required.
For schools, venues, churches, care homes and public buildings, the key question is simple: if a lockdown instruction had to be given quickly, how would everyone on site know?

- Invacuation procedures
