1. SECURE THE ROOM AND ACCOUNT FOR PERSONNEL: Upon lockdown alert, secure all entry points and conduct an immediate headcount of all confined personnel before deploying any kit components.
2. ESTABLISH THE PRIVACY AREA: Designate a corner of the room furthest from the primary group and out of direct line of sight from windows and doors. Use the included tarp and duct tape to construct a three-sided visual barrier tall and wide enough to fully screen a seated individual.
3. DEPLOY THE SANITATION SYSTEM: Place the 5-gallon bucket inside the privacy area. Open one chemical toilet bag, unfold it fully, and drape the edges over the bucket rim. Press the snap-on toilet seat lid firmly onto the rim to secure the bag in place. Position toilet paper, wet wipes, and hand sanitizer next to the unit for immediate access.
4. MANDATE HAND SANITIZER USE: Require all personnel to use hand sanitizer after every use of the sanitation facility. This protocol is non-negotiable and must be enforced by the responsible adult throughout the incident.
5. PREPARE POTABLE WATER: Fill one 1-liter hydration bag from an available tap. Drop in one purification tablet, seal the bag, and agitate gently. Wait the time specified on tablet packaging, typically 30 to 60 minutes, before distributing for consumption. Prepare multiple bags as needed. Do not use cloudy, turbid, or non-municipal water sources with these tablets.
6. ACTIVATE EMERGENCY LIGHTING: Upon power failure, locate the emergency bright stick. Bend the stick firmly until you hear an internal snap, then shake it to initiate the chemiluminescent glow. Place it in a central location to provide ambient illumination for the room. The stick provides up to 12 hours of flameless light.
7. MANAGE ODOR AND ENVIRONMENT: Use the air freshener sparingly after each use of the sanitation facility. Duct tape may also be applied to seal gaps under doors or around windows to enhance room security or block airborne contaminants.
8. EXECUTE WASTE CONTAINMENT AFTER EACH USE: When the first toilet bag reaches capacity, carefully remove the toilet seat lid. Gather the top of the used bag, twist it shut, and seal it securely with the included tie or duct tape. Leave the sealed bag inside the bucket. Install the second unused chemical bag and replace the lid to contain odors. Sealed waste bags are to remain in the bucket until authorities dispose of them after the incident concludes.
9. ADMINISTER MINOR FIRST AID AS NEEDED: Don latex-free gloves before any contact with a patient. Use the 37-piece bandage kit for minor cuts and abrasions only. Do not attempt any medical procedure beyond your level of training and certification. This kit does not contain trauma-grade components and is not a substitute for emergency medical response.
10. RESTORE READINESS AFTER INCIDENT: Replace every consumed or expended item immediately following the incident. Inspect expiration dates on purification tablets, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, and sterile first aid supplies. Log the deployment date and all replacements on the kit's log sheet to maintain a documented readiness record.
