Emergency School Bus Evacuation (1976)

Courtesy: Prelinger Archives
Teaches youngsters basic understanding of all procedures for evacuating a school bus under emergency conditions. Shot in Carlsbad, California, there are some nice shots of kids (all ages) jumping out of the back of school buses in a stiff, orderly fashion.

This is a very good film. I remember these buses very well. Both the Wayne and the Superior. If a bus stalls on the tracks, the bus driver did the right thing by getting all the children off the bus. And what he has to do is to notify his supervisor over the radio "if the bus has one" to know where he is located so that way the dispatcher can notify the railroad about a blocked grade crossing. That way they can get any approaching trains to stop in time to avoid an accident. This is not something to be making jokes about. And that is why I block some people. I know some may think I am being mean but this is very serious. When I was about 13 years old, I remember having fire drills on the bus.

I drove from School Bus for the same school district for several years and my grandmother drove for 41 years and we did these drills monthly at various safe spots along our routes. The driver were to determine the safe spots at the beginning of the school year and log the date,type and location of drill each month. My Grandmother had a bus catch fire and burn completely and she took all thirty six children home safe. This was before 2 way radios and cellphones

This is a good thing to learn. Should an emergency occur, students and everyone on the bus need to know the safest way to evacuate the bus.
