Question:

In case of evacuation due to hazardous material spills _________.

A Students should be led upwind at least 300 feet.
explanation

Some tips to determine a safe place:
A safe place will be at least 100 feet off the road in the direction of oncoming traffic. This will keep the students from being hit by debris if another vehicle collides with the bus.
Lead students upwind of the bus if fire is present.
Lead students as far away from railroad tracks as possible and in the direction of any oncoming train.
Lead students upwind of the bus at least 300 feet if there is a risk from spilled hazardous materials.
If the bus is in the direct path of a sighted tornado and evacuation is ordered, escort students to a nearby ditch or culvert if shelter in a building is not readily available and direct them to lie face down, hands covering their head.
They should be far enough away so the bus cannot topple on them. Avoid areas that are subject to flash floods.
