Fire Alarms, Safety and Evacuation protocol in Alaska and other cold weather schools?

What is the evacuation protocol for a fire alarm when the weather is sub-zero, like minus 20-40 degrees where frostbite conditions occur quickly. Most schools would probably shut down if not used to that weather, but I was wondering how schools that deal with these temperatures more often handle it. If the kids evacuate outside, do they have protection? Are warming buses called immediately? I couldn't find a category to put this in, so I decided that parenting might be best

Answer:

This has been a recent issue in my city (speed bumps and roundabouts). There was even a study done that shows the delay time (in seconds) of each obstacle. They don't actually damage the vehicles because they have to slow down to about 15-20 mph for each of them. In short, they don't damage the vehicle, but they add precious seconds to the response time.
No, it doesn't damage them. All vehicles are designed to take the impact of speed humps, otherwise people who live on rough road would have to change their suspension every year. Plus, most emergency vehicles have air suspension systems which are even better at taking the impact.
first try turning your thermostat up to 78 it if the room gets to around 70 the thermostat is not calibrated, you would need to replace it. if it still doesnt get above 62 your furnace is prob overheating, check your filter, if thats clean you may have a dirty blower wheel or even a plugged coil and have a service tech come and clean the unit.
