EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES

Below is a summary of the emergency response and evacuation procedures that will occur during a crisis:

1.Contact the Crisis Management Team (CMT) Leader unless a life-or-death situation, in which case contact 911.

2.CMT Leader will investigate the crisis. Gathering the information, identifying the appropriate level of response and depending on time allowed determine appropriate response.

•Level I: a minor, localized event that is quickly resolved using limited outside help. An Incident Level I event has minimal impact on normal operations and is used primarily for documentation. Examples include: minor medical emergencies, plumbing failures, and brief power outages.

•Level II: a major emergency that disrupts a significant portion of the campus community and may require outside assistance. Level II emergencies may threaten physical safety. Examples include: building fire, prolonged power outage, and criminal activity.

•Level III: a major emergency/disaster that impacts the campus and the surrounding neighborhood or community. Campus operations are suspended and the effects of the incident are far-reaching. Examples include: active shooter, major earthquake, and local terrorist activity.

Questions that would likely need responses as part of the investigation include:

What happened?

When did it happen?

Where did it happen? Was it on Institute's premises?

Did anyone call 911 or the police? Is there an official report?

What was the chronology of events?

Who is involved?

Who is affected?

Who witnessed the event? Who can provide a firsthand account?

Where are the parties now?

What did the institute do to prevent/deter the situation?

Could there have been steps in place?

How can the administration provide relief/aid to the situation?

Who besides the immediate parties know about the situation?

What affect will it have on normal operations?

Who needs to be notified about the situation?

Develop the Response

•The CMT, under the direction of the lead, will thoroughly discuss and deliberate appropriate response alternatives for the Institute, developing several courses of action, then thoughtfully select the best as determined by consensus and/or

CRIME SAFETY AND SECURITY REPORT

CAREER CARE INSTITUTE

Campus Director. Including whether or not to activate campus alerts, community alerts, etc. Develop action items and assign tasks to each member of the team.

Information that would likely need to be included in the response(s) include:

Type of event

When it happened

How it happened

Assistance that has been requested

Who is involved

Who is affected and what affect will it have on normal campus operations

Implement/Activate the Response through a variety of alert options

•The communication tree network. Each department manager is required to maintain a current list of his or her employees’ emergency contact information. A phone tree shall be developed, under the direction of the CMT lead (both at

administrative offices and on campus) which shall be invoked only under the direction of the appropriate CMT leader. After receiving direction to do so, designated departmental managers will:

• Contact their respective associates as listed.

•Each associate may be requested to contact others on the list, depending on the predefined rules governing how the

communication on the tree will flow.

•If unable to make contact with a person on the tree, the caller will be responsible for contacting the people under the out-of-contact person to ensure the tree is fully contacted.

•Once a caller has communicated to everyone on his/her tree, he/she should report back to the CMT leader on the results of the contact effort. Who was reached? Who was not and what is the plan to follow up?

•College Email Blasts

•Recorded message on main campus phone number

•Depending on campus, update monitors and message boards

•Fire Alarm

•College website and student portal page

•External media (community television, radio and newspaper)

•In research and development stages of implementing an SMS text messaging notification System

Debrief the Response

•After the crisis/emergency is over, an update (including an “all clear”) will be sent via one of the systems/methods above.

Timely Warnings and Notification

•Career Care Institute will without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless the notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

Below is a list of the titles of the persons or organizations responsible for carrying out this process:

Procedures for disseminating emergency information to the larger community

•In any crisis situation, it will be imperative for the appropriate persons to be notified immediately in order to set the plan in motion and provide an appropriate and swift response. If an associate believes that he or she is one of the first persons who know about an incident, he or she must immediately notify a member of the Crisis Management Team (CMT). They should follow the chain of command outlined below until they reach and notify one of the members of the team. Every associate should have the emergency contact numbers of the CMT. Once they have notified a CMT member, he or she should not convey any further information to anyone else until further directed by a member of the CMT.

Structure

•The CMT is comprised of College or campus leaders. They will follow a well- defined protocol on how to provide additional communication to various audiences. This team will be responsible for assessing the situation/damage, organizing a response team and developing a response and communications plan.

Communication Sequence

•As implied above, the first responder to a crisis should contact the individual designated as “leader” on the Crisis Management Team, or “second” if the leader is unavailable. At that point, the following protocol should be used

CRIME SAFETY AND SECURITY REPORT

CAREER CARE INSTITUTE

Communication Process

The CEO or his/her designee shall serve as the designated media spokesperson pertaining to the College and its operations, as well as any crisis situation.

Once the threat level has been determined and enough information has been gathered, the CEO will determine the appropriate communication and course for disseminating information to all audiences - students, associates, families, and the public-at-large. Please look to the CEO to prepare letters, statements and conduct communications briefings.

Generally the team lead will have a crafted statement that should be read verbatim. If time allows, a quick “frequently-asked-questions” document will accompany the statement so that those who are calling will be able to answer some (likely not all) questions as they reach out to those on the emergency number contact tree. In the event of a major emergency, it is likely that no such “FAQ” will be delivered.

During the post-emergency period of time, an investigation will be required by the CMT leader and thorough documentation will be expected (including the gathering of information, verification of information, coordination of information and documentation of information). The College will continue to provide updates to all audiences - students, associates, families, and the public-at-large.

Procedures to test the emergency response and evacuation process

•The College will test the alert system and emergency response and evacuation procedures on an annual basis. The tests conducted may include fire drills, unannounced and announced alert notifications and/or table top exercises and drills. Documentation of all drills, exercises, and/or tests conducted will include information about the type of drill, exercise or test conducted, the date and time of the test and whether it was announced or unannounced. The documentation

CRIME SAFETY AND SECURITY REPORT

CAREER CARE INSTITUTE

will also include evaluative information about lessons learned. Typically these tests will occur during the third quarter.

This emergency notification requirement does not replace the timely warning requirement. They differ in that the Timely Warning applies only to Clery reportable crimes, while the emergency notification requirement addresses a much wider range of threats (i.e., gas leaks, tornadoes, contagious viruses, etc.). An institution that follows its emergency notification procedures is not required to issue a timely warning based on the same circumstances, but must provide adequate follow up information to the community as needed.
