What To Do In Case Of An Emergency...
After the initial threat has passed, all attempts to resume normal business activity shall be initiated, providing it is safe to do so. Employees should evaluate their work area (building) to see if it is safe to work. If not, evacuate to the emergency assembly location. If so, resume activities. If the Emergency Operations Center is operational, communications will be initiated from Public Relations via all available media outlets as well as on campus communications (see the Media Guide of this Plan).
In the event of severe and widespread damage to the campus infrastructure, employees should stay away from their building. To aid in the recovery of operations and assist students who may be displaced by the emergency, employees can report to the Emergency Operations Center to offer assistance. An Operations Group member of the Emergency Operations Center will be responsible for coordinating "volunteer" assistance.
Residence Life Procedures:
Residence life staff, under the direction of the Director of Residence Life and the Vice President for Student Affairs, will attempt to account for and accommodate the resident students. Resident students who choose to evacuate campus will be urged to report their plans before leaving campus.
