THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Emergency Management Plan establishes the policy, procedures, and organizational structure to respond, control and recover from emergency situations.

The Incident Command System (ICS) is used to organize the Emergency Management Team in functional positions (e.g. Command, Planning, Operations, Logistics and Finance/Administration). The plan adopts an "all hazards" approach to include responses to all types of emergencies, including Acts of Terrorism, Civil Disturbance, Explosion, Fire, Flooding, Food borne Illness, Hazardous Material, Severe Storm and Utility Failure.

The plan recognizes and establishes the following priorities for emergency response and restoration of operations:

  1. Prevention-Mitigation: Decrease likelihood event will occur; reduce loss of life and property damage
  2. Preparedness: Development of policies and protocol; training and exercises
  3. Response: Action to contain and resolve an emergency
  4. Recovery: Actions to restore educational operations

Details of this plan are only available to members of the Emergency Management Team.
