Schools Switch to Clear Emergency Commands | Raleigh News
Description
Wake County Public Schools is ditching confusing color-coded alerts like “code red” for simple, universal commands like “lockdown” and “hold” — making emergency responses clearer for students, staff, and visitors alike. The new Standard Response Protocol introduces “hold” as a middle ground for investigating threats without full lockdowns, reducing panic while maintaining safety. Trained officers and administrators now simulate real crises using this all-hazards approach, ensuring everyone knows exactly what to do when seconds count — because clarity saves lives.
