DESCRIPTION:

A lockdown is an emergency protocol that usually prevents people or information from leaving an area. The protocol can usually only be initiated using wired or wireless secured push buttons, covered by special case, cell phone, desktop, etc. and locks down a facility, broadcasting alert message over all facility on PA, controlling doors, gateways etc. based on pre-configured sequence of operation.
Lockdowns can also be used to protect people inside a facility or, for example, a computing system, from a threat or other external event.
Of buildings, a partial lockdown usually means that doors leading outside are locked such that no person may enter or exit.
A full lockdown usually means that people must stay where they are and may not enter or exit a building or rooms within said building. If people are in a hallway, they should go to the nearest safe, enclosed room.

SCHOOLS

Lockdown procedures vary by school district. Generally, a lockdown means that interior and exterior doors are locked, and all students and staff must remain in their location from the time the lockdown is announced. Windows are covered, and students are to stay away from windows.

Since the early 2000s, lockdown procedures in schools have been constantly changing. Some schools direct teachers to continue with standard procedures while remaining quiet, while some recommend an active approach against threats.

PRISONS

In its most common usage in corrections units, the term lockdown can be defined as a course of action to control the movement of inmates. Confining all prisoners, except workers, to their cells until the end of the day is an example of a “lockdown period” in a corrections schedule.However a “full lockdown” is used when all prisoners are locked in their cells to prevent prison riots or unrest from spreading or during an emergency.

HOSPITALS

In US guidelines, occasions for preventing entry into a hospital may include: power failure, earthquake, flooding, fire, bomb threat, hostage crisis and active shooter. Occasions for preventing both entry and exit from a hospital may include: external contamination, civil disturbance and abduction of an infant or child.
