Disaster and Crisis Management Plan![]()
The first responses in a declared emergency are going
to be one or more of the following tasks:
A Room Evacuation may be the result of a fire,
earthquake, or any other event which requires leaving a building.
If an earthquake occurs, the Room Evacuation will be preceded by the
duck, cover and hold procedure (during the shaking).
A Campus Evacuation will occur if the campus is
deemed unsafe and uninhabitable by civil authority or by administration.
This will usually be the result of an earthquake, extensive campus fire,
range fire, aircraft disaster, chemical threat, or local police action.
A Lock Down procedure will occur if a threat
occurs on campus or in the local neighborhood which requires students to be
taken indoors where it is less likely that they will be injured.
This will usually be the result of an attack by an armed person on campus
or gun shots fired on campus (or in the near neighborhood).
Some emergency situations may require a secondary
response beyond those listed above. Such
situations may include an extended stay on campus due to a major earthquake.
See the Secondary Response in an Emergency Situation section below for
this information.
