EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS OVERVIEW
One measure of an organization's strength is its ability to respond well in an emergency. Presidents or their designees are responsible for emergency procedure planning, coordinating training, putting a plan into execution at their respective institutions, and updating plans in response to changes in circumstances.
Success in dealing with disasters is contingent upon the following:
- Planning - Identifying both natural and person-made disasters that could affect the campus and developing measures on how to respond to potential emergencies.
- Coordinating - Incorporating support from local government, civic agencies, and contractors that would be available to help both during and after the emergency.
- Training and Practicing - Developing a training program for the emergency management team to ensure they are aware of their responsibilities in dealing with emergencies. Practicing various scenarios with staff and faculty.
- Updating - Periodically updating the plan as situations at or around the campus change.
- Executing - When a crisis happens, putting the emergency plan into action, keeping in mind that as the situation develops, adjustments may be necessary.
The types of potential disasters that can affect a campus can be classified as natural or person-made disasters. Natural disasters for the most part are geographic in nature, while person-made disasters could take place at any property. Paramount in emergency planning is ensuring that all plausible emergency types are considered in the planning process.
Since every scenario cannot be predicted, an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) must also be able to quickly adapt to events as they unfold. The plan designates areas of responsibility and defines for the City University of New York the administrative framework responsive to emergency situations.The ERP is tailored to respond to campus emergencies at JJC. It is divided into two sections; administrative framework and response framework. It is imperative that individual departments develop response plans for situations that may develop under their purview. They will submit these plans to their immediate reports annually. The College response needs to be quick, professional, supportive, and meet the emerging demands of any emergency or crisis situation.
