safe room

The Lake Hamilton School District Tornado Safe Room is located at the Primary School, 136 Oakbrook Street, Pearcy, AR. This facility plays a crucial role in our emergency preparedness plan. Please review and follow these guidelines during a tornado warning:

  • Activation: The Safe Room doors will be remotely unlocked by the sheriff's department when a tornado warning is issued.

  • Priority: During school hours, students and staff have priority for Safe Room occupancy. Community members will only be admitted once all students have been safely sheltered.

  • Public Access: The Safe Room is open to the public only while a tornado warning is active and must be evacuated immediately once the warning is lifted.

  • Pet Policy: Pets are not allowed unless they are contained in an owner-provided, airline-approved carrier.

  • Food and Beverage: No food or drinks are permitted in the Safe Room.

  • Smoking: Smoking or the use of tobacco products is prohibited in the Safe Room and on all school property, in accordance with Arkansas law.

  • Electronic Devices: Personal mobile devices, including radios, smartphones, and tablets, may be used only with individual earphones.

  • Door Protocol: Safe Room doors must remain closed at all times.

Thank you for following the directions of the Safe Room manager and school administrators. Your cooperation ensures the safety and security of our entire community during severe weather events.
