Code Green is paged for which situation?

• A. A Child is Missing
• B. A medical emergency
• C. A security threat
• D. A power outage

Answer: (A)

In this coding system, different colors are used to quickly signal the type of emergency to staff. Code Green is designated for a missing child, so when it’s paged, staff and security coordinate a focused search of the building and grounds, check classrooms and common areas, review surveillance, verify attendance records, and contact the child’s family or guardians. The aim is to locate the child quickly and ensure safety, while keeping other operations as calm and discreet as possible.

A medical emergency would trigger a different code that summons medical personnel immediately, a security threat would prompt a code that mobilizes security and possible lockdown procedures, and a power outage would call for a facilities-related code. In this context, the situation described matches a missing child, which is why the appropriate code is used.
