7 Emergency Management Office of Emergency Management: University-Wide/ Gables Campus Emergency Managers: Medical & RSMAS What is Emergency Management? 1. Mitigation: Protecting infrastructure and systems 2. Planning: Thinking about what to do ahead of time 3. Response: Executing your plan to protect life, property & Operations 4. Recovery/ Continuity: Restoring Critical Functions & getting back to normal New All-hazard Approach Focus on broad response concepts, not specific types of disaster
8 Emergency Management Steps to Preparedness at the Unit/ Sub-Unit Level 1. Review & Dissemination of University & Campus Plans 2. UReady Plan Completion/ Annual Update What is UReady? Who utilizes it? How is it accessed? What are the benefits? When do I do it?
9 Emergency Management Steps to Preparedness at the Unit/ Sub-Unit Level 3. Contact Information Collection myum: Collection of Emergency/ Evacuation Contact Information Unit/ Sub-Unit Telephone Tree/ Data Warehouse Emergency Notification Network (ENN) Used to notify EVERYONE in event of critical life-safety emergency Voice, text, , social media, web, tv and other notifications Tested annually
10 Risk Management Photo Documentation Each Unit/Sub-Unit is responsible for completing their own photo documentation process annually If property damaged during disaster, such as a hurricane, photo documentation may be only way to assure replacement and reconditioning. Take pictures/video of all space and significant property and collect proof of purchase documentation. Save files in multiple locations in electronic and printed form. In the Event of a Disaster Impact Take Pictures/ Video of all damaged space and significant property Complete a Claims Worksheet, itemizing all damages: Assemble the post disaster pictures/video with the pictures/video you created prior to a storm and submit with claims worksheet to Risk Management. For more information visit Risk Management s hurricane planning website:

19 Division of Veterinary Resources (DVR) Cryopreserve embryos of critical rodent lines No DVR animals or animal records should be removed from campus by a PI at any time Voluntarily postpone animal orders and surgeries prior to imminent storm Arrangements for animals requiring special care beyond established husbandry practice should be made in advance Cat 1, 2, 3 - Animals will not be moved pre-storm Cat 4 or 5 - Relocate large animals if possible; important rodent lines should have been cryopreserved by the PI
20 Environmental Health & Safety CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS Update your chemical inventory list Clean all laboratory benches as completely as practical. Dispose of biohazardous material Confirm that the spill control kit is stocked and its location marked. Store chemicals and biological agents in isolated and windowless rooms. If an isolated windowless room is not available, store chemicals in cabinets or closets that can be locked or secured. Use care when handling and storing chemicals to avoid an accidental release. Chemicals should be segregated based on their compatibility. Do not store chemicals in fume hoods, close tightly when not in use
21 Physical Plant & Facilities Do not plug extension cords into emergency power red plugs The system can be easily overloaded resulting in harm to equipment For buildings with generator power, HVAC will supply animal areas only Unplug all non-essential equipment prior to leaving the lab Prior to and after a storm Physical Plant will: Secure all buildings Maintain fuel in generators Monitor buildings for water intrusion Coordination with national vendors for clean up
22 Information Technology Documentation and Data Safety DATA should NOT be stored on local PC hard drives, external USB drives, or USB keys. DATA should only be stored on IT-provided file shares, which are backed up regularly. DATA on laptops and other portable devices should be backed up or replicated to IT-provided file shares. In the event of an imminent storm or other natural disaster, all nonessential equipment, including computers and printers, should be powered-off and covered Equipment near exterior glass should be relocated to a safer area such as an enclosed hallway Equipment on floors should be elevated where possible For more information please view IT s policy on hurricane preparedness online:
