Emergency Procedures
First Aid Station
Jekyll 4-H does not provide an on-site nurse and we strongly
recommend that each school bring appropriate first aid supplies.
Minor incidents can be treated in the first aid station located
in the EE office by the breezeway in the dorms. An adult must
accompany a student to the first aid station. You must check
your students medical forms and/or call parents before dispensing
first aid supplies. Please sign our Incident Report Form located
on the clipboard in the first aid station.
Medication/Permission Slips/Medical Insurance
Visiting teachers and/or school nurses are responsible for
keeping up with student medication. Refrigeration can be provided
if necessary for medication. Visiting teachers are also responsible
for keeping up with permission slips. Jekyll will not collect
these for each child. Jekyll is not responsible for your group’s
medical insurance. Inexpensive insurance may be available through
your local Extension Office.
Accidents & Illnesses
The Jekyll staff is not authorized to treat illnesses or accidents.
We strongly recommend that an adult with your group drive a
vehicle to Jekyll that can be used to transport individuals
in the event of an emergency. We do have a local 911/EMS service
that can send ambulances to respond to emergencies. In case
of an extreme home emergency after hours, your school can contact
the Georgia State Patrol at 912-635-2303; the patrol can relay
a message to the center. During regular office hours, messages
can be relayed through the Jekyll Island 4-H Center main office
at 912-635-4115 (or 4117).
Fire
The fire alarm would alert individuals of a fire. All people
would be evacuated from the building. No one would be allowed
re-entry into a burning building. Evacuations should take place
around the outside of buildings (and not under breezeways or
hallways).
Weather Issues/Lightning
Jekyll runs classes rain or shine. The most comfortable participants
are those that are prepared with ponchos, rain jackets, hats,
and/or rain pants. In the event of lightning, we will move
classes indoors until we haven’t seen lightning for at
least 15 minutes. In sudden sever weather emergencies, move
inside as quickly as possible (take cover) and stay away from
windows and appliances. If you are trapped outside, avoid tall
trees and open fields, and lie flat in a ditch if necessary.
Missing Persons
It is the responsibility of the visiting adults to maintain
group counts. Notify a Jekyll staff member if an individual
is missing ASAP.
