Do Schools Have Generators?
Do schools have generators? Thankfully many do! If you are a teacher, principal, superintendent, or facility staff member who works in a school or educational facility, you may want to find out if your school utilizes an emergency backup generator and if not, consider bringing up these points at your next staff meeting!
Keep the Kids in the Classroom
Schools have a lot of necessities that require electricity in order to function. Here’s a list of just a few systems that every school needs to run consistently in order to function:
- Fire alarms
- Phone systems
- Computer networks
- Security systems
- Heating and cooling
- Ventilation
- Refrigeration
- Elevator systems
- Lighting
Losing any of these systems could constitute a major problem. When power goes out for non-emergency reasons, what can a school do? If children are already at school, arranging for transportation to send them home can be a nightmare. Keep the kids in the classroom with a generator that can power your entire school. A generator can keep all of these critical systems running at full capacity in the case of a power outage.
Safety, Safety, and More Safety
Next to a quality education, safety is the most important priority for any school. Power disruption can quickly turn a safe place into a dangerous environment, such as in cases of extreme weather or because of darkness. If safety is a top of priority for your school, consider using an emergency backup generator.
More Than A School
During storms or any number of crises, schools can function as emergency shelters for the community. In this way, schools are ideal places to distribute food, communicate and relay critical information, or provide a warm and safe shelter for people displaced from their homes. As long as a steady fuel supply is available, a generator can run indefinitely, so schools can continue to function even in the case of a widespread disaster.
