Protocol

Communications plan

CCMS-SEC-SOP-001 §7

Primary, secondary, contingency, emergency. You will not invent a net during gunfire or a nursery code.

  1. 1

    Primary: short-range radios. Low volume. Plain language. Callsigns confirmed in the Sunday huddle.

  2. 2

    Secondary: a runner. If the radio is a circus, walk.

  3. 3

    Contingency: a pre-shared text thread for the team. Not a public church group chat.

  4. 4

    Emergency: AV booth can put a short instruction on the screen or a child's check-in code without a speech.

  • Medical: radio the on-call medic and send a runner. 911 is not a radio code; it is a phone call.
  • Children in distress: text or display the check-in code. Do not announce a child's name over the house.
  • If radios fail in a critical incident, the plan is still 911, then runners, then the Team Leader's voice.

This field guide does not replace 911, a medical director, or licensed clinical judgment. It does not authorize anyone to practice beyond license and current training.
