Emergency Management Plan - A Model For EMT

Transcription

1 Eastern Florida State College Emergency Management Response Plan October 23, 2013 Scope: The purpose of the Emergency Management Response Plan (EMRP) is to provide a standard administrative guideline to define the functions, response and actions needing to be implemented for specific emergency and disaster events that may impact the operation of the College. The sole intent of the guideline is to create a response to minimize the impact an event has on quality of life, operations of College activities and continuation of instructional and business functions. Organization: The organization of EMRP is developed to promote efficient and effective decision making and response to an emergency or disaster event that occurs on any of the four campuses of the College or within an area outside the boundaries of each campus that will impact the delivery of instructional programs and business functions. EMRP Leadership Team is responsible for determining emergency response policy to guide decision making during the emergency situation. Membership of the EMRP Leadership Team is: President Vice President, Academic Affairs & Chief Academic Officer Vice President, Finance & Technical Service Vice President, Enrollment Management/Student Services Executive Management Team (EMT) is responsible for decisions required during an emergency or disaster event. The membership of the EMT is: Vice President, Finance & Technical Services Associate Vice President, Facilities Associate Vice President, Public Safety Institute and Security Associate Vice President, Communication Associate Vice President, Information Technology Executive Management Team Back Up is responsible for representing their executive on the EMT. If the primary member of the EMT cannot be reached, contact the support group.

3 Financial Services Human Resources Information Technology Communication Purchasing Safety Security Communication: Media communications are an essential component to the success of effectively managing emergency events. At the onset of an emergency event at the College, the Associate Vice President for Communication will be contacted to prepare, coordinate and respond to inquiries by the local and regional news media. The Communication Department is a vital member of the ERT and the CCT. Sheltering Plan: The Eastern Florida State College Sheltering Plan has been developed to conduct critical analysis of the buildings on the four campuses to determine which buildings are suitable to support emergency evacuations initiated for Brevard County. The plan establishes criteria for shelter occupancy and management that is essential in transitioning a building from its intended use to an emergency shelter. The plan articulates the various support requirements provided by agencies assigned specific responsibilities for the opening and effective management of an emergency shelter. Working in concert with the Brevard County Emergency Management team, members of the Red Cross and representatives of Brevard County Sheriff s Office, the emergency shelter plan has been developed. EFSC will be responsible for providing primary evacuation shelters for zone 4 and back-up sheltering in zone 6 identified in the Brevard County Hurricane Evacuation Shelter Plan dated December, The shelters will be managed and operated by the Red Cross. Security will be provided by the Cocoa Police Department for the Clark Maxwell Life Long Learning Center (Bldg. 3) on the Cocoa campus and the Melbourne Police Department for the Parrish Student Center (Bldg. 10) on the Melbourne campus. The Provost of the Cocoa and Melbourne campus will be the College s shelter representative for the shelters on their respective campuses. Zone 4 addresses the sheltering needs of Cocoa, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral residents north of State Road 520 and south of State Road 528. The Clark Maxwell Life Long Learning Center (building 3) on the Cocoa campus will be used as the primary evacuation shelter. The HCVAS Health Science Center (building 20) on the Cocoa campus has been identified as the primary evacuation shelter for local law enforcement and emergency responders. Zone 6 provides sheltering for residents in the areas of Patrick Air Force Base south to Indian Harbour Beach; McCaw Lane on Merritt Island south to Mathers Bridge; and Mainland from Barnes Blvd. to Aurora Road, Melbourne. The back-up evacuation shelter for zone 6 will be located in Parrish Student Center (building 10) on the Melbourne campus. 3

4 Evacuation Procedure for Persons with Disabilities The College recognizes the differences in campus buildings, the limitations presented by various types of disabilities, and the range of possible circumstances that could be presented by different types of disasters. The objective of this procedure is to provide a standard operational method to assist the mobility impaired person with evacuation from a campus building. 1) When circumstances require evacuation from a campus building, people with disabilities are to evacuate the building by the safest and nearest exit and follow the general procedures for emergency evacuation. 2) When evacuation from the building is only possible by use of the elevator, follow the procedures outlined below: a. The person with a mobility impairment should proceed or ask for assistance to the nearest "safe refuge area" and remain there. Enclosed building stairwells and classrooms are designated as "safe refuge areas," and have a fire resistive rating of 20 minutes or more. The person with mobility impairment should notify an individual, his/her co-worker, supervisor, or instructor of his/her specific location. If possible, the person can notify of his/her location. b. Make sure the door is closed. Open doors will violate the integrity of the "safe refuge area" and will allow smoke, and possibly fire, into the area. c. Once outside, the co-worker, supervisor, or instructor will inform the first emergency responding personnel that there is a person with mobility impairments in a safe refuge area, which floor the person is on, and location of the safe refuge area. Evacuations will be made by first emergency response personnel. 3) The first emergency responders will remove the person with mobility impairment from the building. 4) Any people with mobility impairments who would have difficulty in evacuating any campus building should request from the Office for Students with Disabilities that a copy of their schedule for each semester be placed on file by building and by time of day with the Campus Security Department. The person with mobility impairment is responsible for reporting any schedule changes to the Office for Students with Disabilities. That office will initiate a schedule revision with Campus Security. Threats to the College: Bomb Threat Building Evacuation Building or Campus Lockdown Criminal Behavior Fire or Explosion 4

5 Hazardous Material or Radiation Spill Severe Weather Plan Utility Failure Emergency Response Levels: Minor Disaster - Level 1 denoted by a "purple global alert" on the web site is considered a minor event and is usually localized to a particular area within a campus. Emergency plan carried out at the local level by the Provost with support from IT, Maintenance and Security as needed. Examples of a Level 1 emergency would be a localize fire or hazardous substance spill in a room in a building, a person getting sick or injured that required emergency medical care, vehicular accident on campus, etc. Major Disaster - Level 2 denoted by a "red emergency global alert" is considered an emergency event and will impact a section or entire campus. Portions of the ERT will be activated and work closely with the Provost to initiate complete evaluation of the event and determination of response needed for the resumption of instructional programs and business functions. CEM will keep members of the EMT informed about events occurring during the Level 2 response. Examples of a Level 2 would be a building fire; hazardous substance closes building; power outage to a building or campus, etc. Catastrophic Disaster - Level 3 denoted by a "red emergency global alert" is considered a disaster event and will impact the entire operation of a campus or the College. The EMT, ERT and CCT are activated. Examples of a Level 3 event would be a hurricane, tornado, explosion on or off campus, etc. Emergency Notification System Eastern Florida State College operates a number of emergency notification systems to alert faculty, staff and students. The emergency notification system can be activated by the Executive Management Team. The CEM will notify the Associate Vice President, Communication of the nature of the event and the type of message needing to be broadcast. The Associate Vice President, Communication will initiate the appropriate notification using the College's emergency notification system. Emergency Notification System Implementers Primary Associate Vice President, Information Technology Secondary - Manager, Technology & Network Operations Each media is to be tested once each semester to insure its functionality and operational stability. The media manager is to provide a written analysis of the test result to the ECM of each test. The message to be used for the test is as follows: This is a test of the EFSC emergency notification system. This is only a test. EFSC will conduct a test during each semester of the emergency notification system. If this had been 5

6 an actual emergency situation alert, appropriate directions would have followed. Thank you and have a great day.

8 College or Campus Emergency Closures The closing of the College or campus is an extremely serious matter and the EMRP Leadership Team must consider many aspects and ramification that will occur when the College or a campus is closed. When a decision is made to close the College or a campus, the steps following below will be in effect. a. Evacuation of all or part of the campus will be announced by the College through the use of classroom phones, text messaging, cell phone notification and the use of local radio and television stations. b. All persons (except essential personnel) are to vacate the campus immediately and relocate to an off campus location as directed by the notification or campus officials. c. Faculty and staff are to monitor the EFSC website and local radio or television stations for news concerning the closure and re-opening of the campus or College. Campus Emergency Closing Decision Matrix When the anticipation of the length of the emergency event is determined by ongoing repair or restoration of utilities at a campus, the decision matrix below will be used to determine closure of a campus. a. The emergency notification system to be used will be text message blasts, classroom phones, s, web announcements, TV crawls and campus signs. b. Classes will be cancelled for the 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. time slot, if the power or the utility is not restored or the repair made by 7 a.m. c. When power disruption, utility outages or breakdown occur during the first 15 minutes after the hour, the current and next class session will be cancelled. d. When power disruptions, utility outages or breakdown occur between 15 minutes after the hour to the hour, the current class session and the next two class sessions will be cancelled. e. The power disruption, utility outage or breakdown will be monitor and if additional class sessions will need to be cancelled, notification will be provided to faculty and students no later than 45 minutes prior to the beginning of that class session. Specific Threat Response The specific treat responses in this section provide general guidelines to be followed should a threat occur. Please note that when a call is made to 911, Campus Security is automatically notified of the call.
