4 UNIVERSITY OF TULSA EMERGENCY AND DISASTER PLAN 1.0 INTRODUCTION The University of Tulsa (TU) is subject to emergencies or disasters which result from major incidents or natural phenomena. TU s Emergency and Disaster Plan provides guidance and procedures to enable the University to effectively respond to and recover from these types of situations or other emergencies on the campus. Response must be timely, vigorous, and directed toward containing the situation, minimizing the loss of life and property, averting undue hardship or suffering, and maintaining the maximum operational capabilities of the University. Although this plan will establish a general framework of action that should be followed where possible, the exact nature of the situation may necessitate a response differing from that contained herein. Response actions may also differ in conjunction with city, state or federal emergency response plan implementation. An emergency is a condition or situation which requires immediate attention beyond that which can be provided in a routine manner. An emergency will exist when there is an unexpected threat to people, property, or equipment. Most emergencies follow some recognizable build-up period during which actions can be taken to achieve an appropriate state of maximum readiness. General departmental actions are detailed in the appropriate sections of this plan. A disaster is a sudden catastrophic event resulting in great damage, loss or destruction. It is acknowledged that disasters are unique occurrences, which require specific actions dependent upon the type, nature, and extent of the emergency. Both will be referred to as "incidents" in this plan. In this regard, this document is not all-inclusive, nor does it limit or restrict reasonable or prudent actions. It is the responsibility of the University to protect life and property from the effects of hazardous events (emergencies and/or disasters) within its own confines. TU has the primary responsibility of initial emergency management activities. The guidelines and protocols are based upon the emergency management functions of various organizations involved in emergency management which will generally parallel normal day-to-day functions or operations. To the extent possible, the same personnel and material resources will be employed in both cases. Day-to-day functions that do not contribute directly to the emergency may be suspended for the duration of any emergency. The efforts that would normally be required for those functions will be redirected to the accomplishment of emergency tasks by the department(s), division(s), or agency(ies) concerned. The purpose of this plan is to: Provide guidance for emergency operations and the utilization of all available TU and governmental resources for the protection of lives, property, and the continuance of University operations in the event of a natural or man-made disaster or national emergency including attacks, or threats. 3

5 Outline the duties and responsibilities of departments and/or individuals during University emergency operations. Establish guidelines for emergency planning and coordination of activities relating to disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery as related to local, county, state and federal governments. Assign responsibilities for specific duties/activities related to emergency operations and disaster recovery. The University is exposed to many hazards, some of which have the potential for disrupting the campus community and causing widespread damage and casualties. Possible hazards include, but are not limited to: Tornadoes, fires, winter storms, threat of terrorism related activities associated with biological, nuclear, incendiary, chemical, and explosive weapons. Other disaster situations could develop from a hazardous materials incident, major transportation accident, civil disobedience, disease or other unknown or unpredictable occurrences. Listed below are some basic assumptions the University should be cognizant of: TU will continue to be exposed to the hazards and situations noted above, as well as others that may develop in the future. Outside assistance will be available in most emergency situations affecting the University. Although our plan defines the procedures for coordinating such assistance, it is essential for the University to be prepared to carry out disaster response and short-term actions on an independent basis. It is possible for a major disaster to occur any time and any place in or near the University. In some cases, timely dissemination of warnings and increased readiness measures may be possible. However, many disasters and events can, and will, occur with little or no warning. University officials and representatives must recognize their responsibilities for the safety and well-being of students, employees, and visitors; and assume their responsibilities in the implementation of this emergency plan. Proper implementation of our Emergency and Disaster Plan will reduce or prevent disasterrelated loses. Regardless of the threat or type of emergency, it is possible that the following results may be encountered: Death or injury to people or animals Interruption or disruption to transportation Interruption or disruption to normal communications Interruption or disruption to utilities and other essential services Congregation of large number of people at the scene, at central locations, at shelters, etc. Significant numbers of people being displaced, requiring some or all of the following: evacuation, shelter, feeding, welfare, and other assistance Structural damage to streets, buildings, utilities, and other property Contamination of food, water, personnel, vehicles, property, and other substances Shortages of essential items Periods of civil unrest or disorder, including looting, rioting, mob scenes, violence, etc. 4

6 Initial confusion of the affected population, with probable delays in University response to disaster events Extensive need for public information Disruption of business activities Other matters of minor to serious impact or inconvenience The President may declare a campus state of disaster or emergency. The effect of the declaration is to activate the recovery and rehabilitation aspects of the plan and to authorize furnishing aid and assistance. When the needs for the emergency exceed local capability to respond, outside assistance will be required from neighboring jurisdictions and/or the local or state government. The guidelines and protocols are predicated on an all-hazard approach and acknowledge that most responsibilities and functions performed during an emergency are not hazard specific. Likewise, these guidelines and protocols, account for activities before and after, as well as during emergency operations; consequently, all phases of emergency management are addressed as discussed below: Mitigation Mitigation activities are those which eliminate or reduce the probability of a disaster occurring. Also included are those long-term activities, which lessen the undesirable effects or unavoidable hazards. Preparedness Preparedness activities serve to develop the response capabilities needed in the event an emergency should arise. Planning and training are among the activities conducted under this phase. Response Response is the actual provision of emergency services during a crisis. These activities help reduce causalities and damage, and speed recovery. Response activities include warning, fire evacuations, rescue, and other similar operations. Recovery Recovery is both a short-term and long-term process. Short-term operations seek to restore vital services of the University and provide for the basic needs of employees, students, and visitors. Long-term recovery focuses on restoring the University to its normal pre-disaster, or an improved state of affairs. The recovery period is also an opportune time to institute future mitigation measures, particularly those related to the recent emergency. Examples of recovery actions would be provision of temporary housing and food, identification of damaged areas with assessment of needs, restoration of non-vital University services, application for disaster assistance, reconstruction of damaged areas, and other similar required actions. Building Emergency Plans (BEP s) have been developed and posted in each building as a summary guide to be followed for incidents that occur within a building. The BEP is included by reference as a component of this plan. This plan expands upon the BEP and will cover predictable incidents which may occur on any TU property, both indoors and outdoors, and provide a more comprehensive and detailed guide to TU's policies regarding incident prevention, response, recovery and responsibilities. 5

7 In addition, the library follows an emergency recovery plan entitled "Basic Guidelines for Disaster Planning in Oklahoma" prepared by Toby Murray and emergency response specific to the TU resident population is provided in The University of Tulsa's "Resident Living Handbook." Effective July 1, 2008, TU assumed management responsibility for the Thomas Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, OK. The museum has its own Emergency Response Plan which is included as Appendix I. The plan is specific to the museum; however, it covers many of the same topics as the plan for the TU campus. This plan will be reviewed and updated, as necessary, if applicable regulations are revised, the plan failed during an emergency, facility operations have changed in a way that affects the plan, the roster of emergency personnel has changed, or if the emergency equipment listed has been altered; but at least annually, by Wayne Paulison, Associate V.P. of Human Resources &. This plan and others referenced can be found at: and%20safety.aspx. 2.0 APPLICABILITY The TU Emergency and Disaster Plan shall apply to all persons working, attending school, in residence, or visiting on university properties. It includes provisions to comply with the following regulatory agencies and regulations that require written plans and notifications and is designed to also comply with the National Response Team Integrated Contingency Plan.

8 This plan will provide general response information that may be useful for a broad range of situations. Specific situations that will be addressed by this plan are: - Fire or explosion - Injuries - Hazardous spill or contaminant release - Severe weather - Violence, civil disobedience, bomb threats, or other criminal activities - Disruptive crisis or out-of-control behavior - Building operations emergency, such as a major gas leak or flooding - Active Shooter Protocol - Other incidents not specifically listed will be addressed where possible within the same structure as outlined within this plan - Evacuation for those persons with physical disabilities 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND OPERATIONS This plan applies to buildings occupied by The University of Tulsa located at the main campus, address of 800 South Tucker Drive, in general bounded by East 3rd Street on the north, East 11th Street on the south, S. Columbia Avenue on the west, and Harvard Avenue on the east. In addition, it includes the Henneke Building located on 1204 S. Harvard and the West Park Apartment Building located on 2504 E. 4 th Place S. The plan also applies to The University of Tulsa's Petroleum Research Campus, address of 2450 East Marshall Street. Appendix A contains a topographical map and site plans of both campus locations. A listing of buildings and hazards associated with each, not including those hazards that might be associated with normal operation of a building can be found in Appendix B. Effective July 1, 2008, TU assumed management responsibility for the Thomas Gilcrease Museum. The museum is located at 1400 N. Gilcrease Museum Road, Tulsa, OK This plan also applies to the Zarrow Center for Arts & Education (Matthews Building) located at 124 East Brady Street in downtown Tulsa. Educational pursuits, both undergraduate and graduate, comprise the major activities of the university. These may include projects involving chemicals, biological material, vertebrate or invertebrate species, lasers, machinery for working with various materials, welding, pressurized systems, electricity, low-level radioactive sources or materials, and other potentially hazardous instrumentation and equipment. In addition, research work at the Petroleum Research Campus facilities includes testing scale drilling, other petroleum characterization systems. The physical and maintenance operations of the university may include work with chemicals (mainly associated with materials such as paints, glues, automotive products, cooling tower and pool chemicals, and cleaning products), metal and woodworking machinery, pressurized systems, electricity, hot and cold water lines, confined spaces, welding, excavations, repair and maintenance of equipment, elevated areas, building renovation and upkeep. 7

9 In addition, biohazards may be encountered by health care workers, sports medicine personnel, and other employees as identified in the TU Exposure Control for Bloodborne Pathogens plan. Hazards of university activities are expected to be low-risk where appropriate safety precautions are implemented. Campus Security is responsible for the security and safety of the campus community with regards to criminal activity. Campus Security personnel patrol the campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Off-duty City of Tulsa police officers are employed by the university and patrol the main campus 24/7, 365 days a year. The Tulsa Police Department officers are available for assistance at any time they are needed. 4.0 CHAIN OF COMMAND Definition: a major incident would include events such as death or serious injury, extensive property damage, bomb threat, evacuation, fire, civil violence, environmental contamination, active shooter, etc. In the event of a major incident or those that may become a major incident the following procedure should be followed: Call 911 (if necessary) Notify Campus Security, Contact the TU Primary Contact, Kevan Buck or cell The Emergency Response Primary Contact will coordinate response and call or delegate call to the President, Crisis Team and all other necessary individuals. The Primary Contact will determine the need to open the Crisis Communication Center (CCC) located in the Campus Security offices at 3115 E. 8 th Street. The alternate Primary Contact person is Kayla Acebo, or cell The responsibility of directing the overall response will be transferred to the lead offsite emergency responding organization if such organization is necessary to respond to the incident, with the TU Primary Contact acting to assist. The initial directing of emergency response may be carried out by other TU authorities until the Primary Contact or alternate arrive onscene. For all other non-major incidents or critical conditions, the following procedure should be followed: Contact supervisor or other person responsible for activity Notify Campus Security, , if needed Contact a member of the Crisis Team if needed (Campus Security can make the contact if requested) The Crisis Team may contact other appropriate individuals to respond to the incident. The President may override any response decisions made or take the lead TU Primary Contact position at his/her discretion. Authorization for employees not to report to work or to leave work 8

10 during normal operating hours shall be given by the President or designee, unless an emergency requires the Primary Contact to make that decision in the President s absence. Appendix C shows the chain of command and communication flowchart to be implemented in part or as a whole depending on the extent of the incident. Names, titles and phone numbers of principle emergency contacts are provided under Section 6.0 "Responsibilities." 5.0 CRISIS COMMUNICATION CENTER (CCC) The Crisis Communication Center (CCC) will be the TU location for directing response to incidents of such magnitude that the Primary Contact determines that opening the Center is necessary. The Center will be located in the Campus Security offices at 3115 E. 8 th Street. For incidents occurring on the Petroleum Research Campus, the CCC will be the Drill Building conference room. The Primary Contact will provide overall administrative decisions for the Center and communicate with the President and Board of Trustees, as necessary. The Primary Contact generally will remain at the scene of the incident, but will maintain communication with the CCC. A person designated by the Primary Contact will direct the organization of responders who report to the Center, in liaison with the Primary Contact. All persons responding to an incident should report to the Center either through verbal communications or in person. Responder s activities, as time permits, should be reported to the Center in a timely manner. The Center will remain in operation until such time as the Primary Contact determines that normal university functions can take over response activities till final resolution of the situation. At least one dedicated phone line will be used for incoming incident query calls from the campus community and the public, while other lines will be assigned for incident control, media communications and outgoing communication. CMT members and responders will have a cell phone that can be used for communication as long as the cell towers are operational. The Center will store a supply of emergency items (see Appendix D). The Center may be used for triage, temporary refuge, counseling sessions, in addition to communication and directing response to the incident. In general, press conferences will be held in the Donald W. Reynolds Center Interview Room. If the incident has escalated to where off-site emergency responders require an on-site command center, the center may be set up in the Mabee East Lot, Harwell Field, Donald W. Reynolds Center North Lot and H.A. Chapman Stadium area; or Sharp Chapel Plaza, and the U. 6.0 RESPONSIBILITIES EMERGENCY CONTACTS Off-Campus Emergency Assistance (e.g. fire, disaster, accident, crime) Poison Control Call Rape Hot Line Helpline (volunteer crisis intervention and information)

Physical Plant personnel will assist in response to damage to residential buildings. 6.8 CRISIS MANAGEMENT TEAM The Crisis Team (CMT) may be called upon by the Primary Contact, as a whole or in part, to assist in supervision and coordination of university responses in the event of a campus crisis. In a nonmajor event the CMT Chair is usually notified by Campus Security. The CMT Chair would ensure that the appropriate CMT members and the university official responsible for the affected area has been notified and that the proper responses, depending on what type of incident, have taken place. When a major campus crisis has occurred, is occurring, or may possibly occur, the Primary Contact should be notified. After ascertaining the details of the incident and what remedial steps have been taken, the Primary Contact shall determine whether the CMT as a whole should be assembled to consider the situation or whether the matter can be managed by a team of selected members of the CMT and/or other members of the university community. The CMT will remain actively involved with responses to the incident and recovery efforts until normal university activities have resumed or the Team has been excused by the Primary Contact or the President.

24 7.8 ACTIVE SHOOTER PROTOCOL Armed Security Officers will respond to the situation, including containment and confronting an armed suspect and assisting responding law enforcement. HOSTILE INTRUDER(S) IN A NON-RESIDENT HALL BUILDING When a hostile person(s) is actively causing deadly harm or the imminent threat of deadly harm within a campus building, the following procedures are recommended. Each situation is different and may require a different response. Contact Authorities Use Emergency 911 Contact Campus Security at Be aware that the 911 system may be overloaded. Program TU Campus Security ( ) into your cell phone for emergency use or consider . may be an option when unable to speak Secure Immediate Area Lock and barricade doors Use chairs, desks tables, etc. Some doors require a key, try to make a habit of carrying your keys with you Turn off lights Close blinds/block windows Use large tables if able to If not, stay away from the windows Turn off radios and computer monitors Keep occupants calm, quiet, and out of sight Keep yourself out of sight and take adequate cover/protection i.e. concrete walls, thick desks, filing cabinets (cover may protect you from bullets) Silence cell phones Place signs in exterior window to identify the location of injured person(s) Un-Securing an Area Consider risks before un-securing rooms Remember, the shooter will not stop until they are engaged by an outside force Attempts to rescue people should only be attempted if it can be accomplished without further endangering the person(s) inside a secure area Try to make decisions that benefit the greatest number of people Stay in a secured area until emergency response personnel tell you it is alright to leave What to Report Your specific location building name and office/room number Number of people at your specific location Injuries number of injured, types of injuries Assailants(s) location number of suspects, race/gender, clothing description, physical features, types of weapon(s) (long gun, or hand gun), backpack, shooter identity if known, separate explosives from gunfire, etc. Campus Security Response Respond to area with Tulsa Police Department Secure immediate surroundings Activate Campus Security Active Shooter Protocol in coordination with Tulsa Police Department 23

25 HOSTILE INTRUDER(S) IN A RESIDENCE HALL When a hostile person(s) is actively causing deadly harm or the imminent threat of deadly harm within the residence hall, the following procedures are recommended. Each situation is different and may require a different response. Lock yourself in your room If communication is available, call Campus Security at or call 911 If away from your room, join others in a room that can be locked Do not stay in the open hall Do not sound the fire alarm. A fire alarm would signal the occupants in the rooms to evacuate the building and thus place them in potential harm as they attempted to exit Barricade yourself in your room with desks, beds, or anything you can push against the door Lock your window and close the blinds or curtains Stay away from the window Turn all lights and audio equipment off Try and stay calm and be as quiet as possible If you are caught in the open such as hallways and lounge areas, you must decide what you are going to do. This is a very crucial time and can possibly mean life or death depending on your actions. You can try to hide, but make sure it is a well hidden space or you may be found as the intruder moves through the dorm looking for more victims. If you think you can safely make it out of the building by running, do so. If you decide to run, do not run in a straight line. Keep any objects you can between you and the hostile person(s) while in the building. Once outside, do not run in a straight line. The last option you have if caught in an open area in the dorm maybe to fight back. This is dangerous, but depending on your situation, this could be your last option. Once the police arrive, obey all commands. This may involve your being handcuffed or made to put your hands in the air. This is done for safety reasons, and once circumstances are evaluated by the police, they will give you further directions to follow. HOSTILE INTRUDER(S) ON THE GROUNDS OF THE UNIVERSITY INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE When a hostile person(s) is actively causing death or serious physical injury or the threat of imminent death or serious physical injury to person(s) on the campus, the following procedures are recommended. Each situation is different and may require a different response: Run away from the threat if you can, as fast as you can Contact Campus security at or call 911 on a cell phone Do not run in a straight line Keep vehicles, bushes, trees, and anything else that could possibly block your view from the hostile person(s) while you are running If you can get away from the immediate area of danger, summon help and warn others If you decide to hide, take into consideration the area in which you are hiding. Will I be found here? Is this really a good spot to remain hidden? If the person(s) is causing death or serious physical injury to others and you are unable to run or hide, you may choose to play dead if other victims are around you The last option you have if caught in an open area outside may be to fight back This is dangerous, but depending on your situation, this could be your last option Once the police arrive, obey all commands. This may involve your being handcuffed or made to put your hands in the air. This is done for safety reasons and once circumstances are evaluated by the police they will give you further directions to follow. 24

26 7.9 BUILDING ALARM (Mechanical or Verbal) - Leave the building; go to staignh area (shut down equipment if time permits) - Contact Campus Security at Wait for further instructins by someone in authority - Occupants may go back into building only when someone in authority, such as the Fire Marshall or university personnel in authority, says it is safe to do so 7.10 POWER OUTAGE/GAS LEAK/FLOODING - Leave area if in immediate danger (shut sown equipment and secure critical research operations, if time permits) - Contact Physical Plant work control at Contact Campus Security at For power outage, move to area of emergency light or window light - Be alert for any changes incircumstances, suc h as smoke or elecgtricla sparks - If problem requires leaving of the work or activity area, wait for further instructions by university personnel in authority or offsite emergency response authority before returning 7.11 OTHER - If the city siren system should alarm, immediately take shelter and tune to radio or television for informational broadcasts. Follow any instructions given by city Fire Marshal, Emergency Agency personnel, City/County Health Department, Federal authorities, or TU authorities. Do not attempt to leave shelter unless instructed or allowed to do so by above authorities. - For other emergency incidents not listed contact Campus Security at EVACUATION FOR THOSE PERSONS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES Individuals who use wheelchairs or are otherwise mobility impaired: - If on ground floor Leave the building at the nearest safe exit - If on above or below ground floor - Predetermine the safest plan of action considering your particular physical circumstances and the areas you will be in, with advice from your physician, and concurrence or assistance from the Director of the Center for Student Academic Support ( ) or with the Building Contact for staff and faculty The following general procedures are suggested by fire department and emergency personnel: - In all areas you frequent, become familiar with location of at least two exits, alarm provisions, safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, storm shelter areas, and evacuation staging areas - Before an emergency, choose at least two peers or fellow employees who are willing and able to assist you, if assistance may be needed in carrying you with or without the wheelchair to safety. Ask faculty, supervisor, or Building Contact (Director of the Center for Student Academic Support) if help is needed in getting volunteers. - Discuss with assistants and practice, if possible, the safest method for moving you up or down a stairway. If you have difficulty being understood, develop a card containing all appropriate instructions and carry it with you. - Carry a loud whistle or similar device you can operate, for use in the event you become trapped 25

27 - During an emergency if not in immediate danger, wait till traffic has thinned, inform faculty, supervisor, or Building or Area Monitor where you will be, then go with assistants to a designated rescue area, usually beside an exit stairway or a room near the exit stairway with a door that closes, a window and preferably a telephone. If near a telephone, dial 911 and/or and inform dispatchers where you are. Assistants should then exit to alert emergency responders. Wait for trained emergency responders to assist you from the building. - If in immediate danger, inform assistants of safest way to move you up or down stairs Notes: Persons on respirators should be given priority assistance in emergencies involving smoke or fumes because their ability to breathe is seriously jeopardized There are many different types of wheelchairs which have many movable or weak parts which are not built to withstand the stress of lifting Remove batteries from an electric wheelchair before attempting to transport it Individuals with Vision Limitations or Hearing Impairment: - Follow the process above in predetermining emergency evacuation routes and assuring a volunteer (which could be a faculty or staff member) is assigned to inform you of the danger and assist you, if needed, out the safest evacuation route. It may be advisable to wait until the traffic has thinned. 8.0 RECOVERY Recovery will focus, as applicable, on: - immediate personal needs of employees and students - power, water and telephone services - providing access and clearing debris to university roads and buildings - damage assessment, structural evaluation, and remediation including any necessary asbestos abatement - evaluation and safe removal of released hazardous chemicals/products - reinstating classes and other university functions - general cleanup - cost and insurance determinations and application for state and federal aid, where available - continuous communication of status of recovery efforts - final incident response assessment For those incidents where persons cannot return to their homes due to such possibilities as severe flooding or closure of roadways due to fallen trees, utility poles, etc.; TU will provide temporary shelter and food (from stock on hand) for a brief time period not expected to exceed a 24 hour period. Shelters will be set up at Pat Case Dining Center, Allen Chapman Student Union, or the Mabee Gym and come under the jurisdiction of Housing and Dining. Any need for psychological support or counseling for both the TU community and individuals close to the people who make up the TU community will be determined by Counseling and Psychological Services in liaison with the Chaplain s Office. Psychological debriefing services will typically be available. Employees may have sustained injuries or damage to their homes where Human Resources may provide assistance, adjust work schedules with the agreement of supervisors, and provide leave, as appropriate. The Vice President for Enrollment and Student Services may need to work with students in communicating with parents or other family members, class rescheduling, housing and other personal needs. The Sharp Chaplain will direct 26

28 response to the death of a university employee or student in conjunction with other applicable TU entities such as the President s office, Human Resources, Student Services, and Director of Marketing & Communications. Physical Plant personnel will provide damage assessment in liaison with the Dean or other TU authority associated with each damaged building or area. The structural integrity of a damaged building shall be determined by a qualified engineer prior to allowing any general entry. Outside professionals such as structural engineers may be contracted as needed. Physical Plant personnel will maintain emergency generators, access to emergency water supplies, and portable toilet facilities as necessary and where possible. A primary consideration in recovery will be to restore any damaged utility services as soon as possible. Physical Plant personnel will provide or have persons available for contracting to clear obstacles from TU roadways and access to buildings. They will determine if buildings are structurally sound and determine that no asbestos hazards exist before allowing reentry into any damaged building. Repairs, overhaul of equipment, and returning all building functions to normal working operation will be under the direction of the Associate V.P. of Operations & Physical Plant. In situations where emergency supplies are donated by the public or emergency agencies, following an incident, the Associate V.P. of Operations & Physical Plant will designate persons responsible to inventory and distribute the supplies. Continuation or restoration of telephone and computer services will be under the direction of the Vice President and Chief Information Officer. It may be necessary for some or all TU employees and students to help in general cleanup of their work or activity areas. The Associate V.P. of Human Resources & will be apprised of any suspected hazardous chemical/product spill or release and will determine response. Abatement of an emergency spill (see Section 7.3) may be under the direction of the Tulsa Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response Team, a contracted waste disposal company, or the Associate V.P. of Human Resources &, depending on the severity of the incident. Persons are not to reenter damaged buildings that contain chemical use laboratories or other areas with potentially hazardous quantities of chemicals/products until monitoring or observation indicates that it is safe to do so. The Provost will work with appropriate groups, such as the President's office, deans of applicable colleges, Business and Finance, and Student Services in determining instructional delays, class rescheduling or relocation, and possible rental or purchase of temporary class meeting units. The President's office, in liaison with appropriate groups, will determine the status of institutional operations, when shut down is necessary and when business can be resumed. The Office of Business and Finance will approve and monitor emergency spending, act to shut down buildings or operations as designated by the President, determine insurance assessment needs and applicability of state or federal aid, where available. The libraries will follow the Oklahoma Conservation Congress "Basic Guidelines for Disaster Planning in Oklahoma" in salvage and restoration efforts in regards to books and other holdings. The Director of Marketing & Communications will direct continuous communication of the university's recovery efforts to the university community and the public, primarily through the media, as necessary. Resources, such as the university radio station (KWGS FM89), audix system, employee newsletters, computer network communications, meetings, and flyers will be employed as deemed appropriate. The Director of Marketing & Communications will also address any public relations issues that may be associated with the incident and recovery. 27

29 Following the recovery phase of an incident or after initial recovery efforts are underway, the Crisis Team with possible addition of others who were actively involved in response activities, will meet to evaluate the incident and response. If needed, the Emergency and Disaster Plan will be revised to make needed corrections or additions. 9.0 TRAINING AND PRACTICE Those who have responsibility under the Building Emergency Plan are offered a briefing of the contents and response necessary under a variety of incident scenarios. Resident Directors and Assistants are trained in specific conditions and responses to housing of students and possible emergency situations at the beginning of the school term. On-campus residence hall occupants are provided emergency orientation by the Residence Directors and/or Assistants during the school year. A summary of emergency response actions that should be taken during an incident has been distributed to faculty, staff, and students. Response to emergencies is provided during New Employee Orientation training. Key responders meet under the Crisis Team's direction to plan, review, and challenge incident response guidelines. Many of the responder s responsibilities, in particular during the recovery phase, are those which are included in their normal work responsibilities, and thus the responders have current professional training in their area of expertise. Once a year, a listing of storm shelter areas for each of the buildings is mailed to the entire TU community with instructions for responding to severe weather. A copy is included as Appendix F. Fire or move to shelter drills are planned annually for all two story buildings, at a minimum. 28
