Procedures

Notification of the Emergency Response Plan
In the event of an emergency situation, the Crisis Management Team in collaboration with the Emergency Response Planning Committee will convene to assess the situation, and determine whether to activate the Emergency Response Plan. Emergency Response Planning Committee and the Crisis Management Team members should bring available lap top computers with them to the Conference Room in the Classroom Building. The alternate location will be the Conference Room on the second floor of the Hank Sanders Technology Center if the Classroom Building is not available.

Activation of the Emergency Response Plan
Whether the Emergency Response Plan is activated depends upon the type of emergency situation, its potential for escalation, its geographical extent, and other factors. The Emergency Response Plan will be activated whenever a crisis, man-made or natural, disrupts operations, threatens life, creates major damage, and occurs within the college community. While it is likely that outside assistance would be available in most large-scale crisis/emergency situations affecting the College, the College must be prepared to carry out crisis response and short-term recovery operations on an independent basis.
