Choosing Classroom Lockdown Kits
Classroom lockdown kits give teachers immediate access to sanitation, privacy,
lighting, communication, and basic safety supplies when students must remain
inside a secured classroom. Many schools place one kit in every regularly
occupied instructional space so teachers do not need to leave the room to
obtain essential supplies.
Standard and Premium Configurations
The Standard Classroom Lockdown Kit focuses on sanitation,
privacy, lighting, signaling, and basic comfort. Its 5-gallon bucket, toilet
seat, waste supplies, privacy tarp, flashlight, whistle, blanket, and HELP/OK
placard support classrooms when restrooms and other areas are inaccessible.
The Premium Classroom Lockdown Kit includes the same core
supplies plus long-shelf-life emergency food and drinking water. It is intended
for schools that want additional support for longer shelter-in-place events.
Review each product’s contents carefully before selecting a configuration.
Planning for a School or District
Lockdown kits complement—not replace—classroom evacuation bags, student kits,
first aid resources, and school-wide emergency supplies. More Prepared can help
schools standardize kit contents by classroom type, grade level, building, or
campus and coordinate replenishment when food, water, or medical components
reach the end of their shelf life.
Purchase orders, tax-exempt purchasing, cooperative contracts, volume pricing,
custom labeling, and multi-site delivery are available for qualifying schools
and districts.

Classroom Lockdown Kit FAQs
Does every lockdown kit include food and water?
No. The Standard kit focuses on sanitation, privacy, lighting, communication,
and basic safety supplies. The Premium kit adds emergency food and drinking
water for extended sheltering.
Why does the kit include a bucket and toilet supplies?
Students and staff may be unable to access restrooms during a lockdown. The
bucket, toilet seat, waste bags, deodorizer, privacy tarp, and hygiene supplies
provide an emergency sanitation option inside the classroom.
How many lockdown kits does a school need?
Schools commonly place one kit in each occupied classroom or instructional
space. Additional kits may be appropriate for libraries, offices,
multipurpose rooms, portable classrooms, and other areas where people may need
to remain secured.
How often should lockdown kits be inspected?
Inspect kits at least annually and after any use. Confirm that the container is
accessible, packaging is intact, batteries remain functional, and dated food,
water, first aid, or medical components have not expired.
Can lockdown kits be customized?
Yes. Available options include upgraded first aid or bleeding-control supplies,
additional privacy and sanitation materials, district-specific contents,
custom labeling, and standardized packaging for multi-school deployments.
