EEmergency Procedures

A new warning siren has been installed at Geiger that insure all campsites and activity areas can be alerted in case of emergencies. The system can be activated at camp and is connected to the Andrew County Emergency system.

Emergency procedures for all common eventualities have been developed. A fire drill is held each week. All units are expected to participate as instructed in the emergency procedures. 

Severe storms are common at Geiger. Specific procedures have been established. All campers and visitors are expected to follow these procedures. The procedures include shelters for campers in basements or concrete block structures. 

Emergency procedures are provided to all leaders at the pre-camp meeting and when checking in to camp. The procedures are specific to the campsite assigned to the unit. It is important that these procedures are shared with all unit leaders, including youth leadership.
