5 Eastern Kentucky University Emergency Actin Plan Table f Cntents The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Emergency Actin Plan (EAP) is the base layer f the University s Emergency Management Prgram. This functin is crdinated thrugh the Divisin f Public Safety and it is a cllabrative effrt between the Plice Department, Emergency Management, Envirnmental Health and Safety, Risk Management and Insurance, 911, and the rest f the University Cmmunity. The EAP is meant t prvide all members f the cmmunity with imprtant infrmatin that is relevant bth at wrk and at hme n varius emergencies that may ccur. The EAP replaces the University s Campus Emergency Respnse Plan (CERP) and it is the fundatin upn which each building and department can participate in crafting individualized Building Emergency Actin Plans (BEAP). The frmulatin f the EAP was based n the Internatinal Assciatin f Campus Law Enfrcement Administratrs (IACLEA) Campus Emergency Operatins Planning Guide alng with research, best practices, and the experience f fficials within the EKU Divisin f Public Safety.

The fire alarm is capable f being perceived abve ambient nise r light levels by persns in the affected prtins f the building. The alarm is distinctive and recgnizable as a signal t evacuate the area r t perfrm actins designated under the emergency actin plan. If yu hear any ther alarm that yu d nt recgnize, use cautin, prtect yurself, cntact EKU Public Safety at 911 r , and reprt the alarm. Evacuatin Plan Upn being alerted t an emergency requiring evacuatin, all ccupants shuld immediately leave their area, clsing the drs behind them, and prceed t the nearest exit r exit stairway. Occupants shuld exit and/r ascend/descend the stairs and exit in an rderly manner. Upn exiting the building, all ccupants shuld gather in the Emergency Assembly Area. The Emergency Assembly Area lcatin is the grass area t the east f the Clubhuse, by the Mail Center. This plan was and can be further develped with input frm the staff f EKU Public Safety, taking int accunt specific building and ccupant needs. EKU Public Safety can be reached at Sheltering In Place Because sheltering in place may be the prtective actin recmmendatin fr several emergencies with differing risks, and because smetimes the initial recmmendatin is t shelter in place fllwed by relcatin, there is n single set f shelter in place prcedures. Based n the type f emergency, such as Trnad, Hstile Intruder, r Hazardus Material Release Outside, yu shuld cnsult each relevant sectin fr guidance. Emergencies change as they prgress. The questins t ask yurself are: Am I safer inside r utside? Where am I safest inside? Where am I safest utside? Disabilities With regard t persns requiring assistance in evacuatin f Grand Campus Clubhuse: The Grand Campus Clubhuse has 4 exits. All exits are at grade and are accessible fr individuals with mbility impairment. There is an exit n the nrth side f the building (main entrance t the clubhuse). The secnd exit is lcated n the east end f the building near the sutheast crner. The third exit is lcated n the suth side f the building. The final exit is lcated at the suthwest crner f the building. If smene with mbility impairment cannt exit, they may take refuge in a rm. 12

13 With regard t persns requiring assistance in evacuatin f Grand Campus Building 1: Grand Campus Building 1 has fur exit stairways. The west stairway n the nrth end f the building serves the first thrugh furth flrs. Each apartment has an exit that empties t the west breezeway, which then leads t the stairways n either end. The east stairway n the nrth end f the building serves the first thrugh furth flrs. Each apartment has an exit that empties t the east breezeway, which then leads t the stairways n either end.

The west and east breezeways, n the first flr, exit at grade and are accessible fr individuals with mbility impairment. If smene with mbility impairment cannt exit, r if they cannt climb r descend the stairs, they may take refuge in a rm. With regard t persns requiring assistance in evacuatin f Grand Campus Building 2: Grand Campus Building 2 has fur exit stairways. The nrth stairway n the west end f the building serves the first thrugh furth flrs. Each apartment has an exit that empties t the nrth breezeway, which then leads t the stairways n either end. The nrth stairway n the east end f the building serves the first thrugh furth flrs. Each apartment has an exit that empties t the nrth breezeway, which then leads t the stairways n either end.

The suth stairway n the east end f the building serves the first thrugh furth flrs. Each apartment has an exit that empties t the suth breezeway, which then leads t the stairways n either end. The nrth and suth breezeways, n the first flr, exit at grade, n the east end f the building, and are accessible fr individuals with mbility impairment. If smene with mbility impairment cannt exit, r if they cannt climb r descend the stairs, they may take refuge in a rm. Yur safety is very imprtant t EKU. Maintaining yur safety is a jint respnsibility, between yu, the University, and emergency respnse agencies. The persn mst respnsible fr yur safety is yu. Here is sme imprtant advice s that yu can take respnsibility fr yur wn persnal safety and make infrmed decisins abut actins yu can take in an emergency. Generally, during an emergency, where evacuatin is the prtective actin recmmendatin, like a fire r fire alarm, everyne shuld evacuate. If smene cannt evacuate, fr any reasn, they shuld take refuge in a safe place, like an enclsed stairwell r in a rm. Any individual in need f rescue must call 911 (frm a campus phne) r r (frm a cell phne) and reprt their lcatin t emergency respnders. The individual shuld ask smene, wh is evacuating, t relay their lcatin and their need fr assistance t the emergency respnders. Individuals with hearing lss can call Public Safety via TDD at and/r text message smene wh can infrm authrities. Wherever and whenever pssible, an individual with special needs, that might require assistance, shuld identify a trustwrthy individual t assist them as much as is reasnable in an emergency. This principle shuld be thught f as a buddy system. It is recmmended that individuals with disabilities r ther special needs btain a cell phne fr use in emergencies. It is als recmmended that a flashlight and light clred clth be kept handy. The clth can be fastened t the utside clsure f a refuge area r they can wave a flashlight r light clred clth frm a windw t let the Fire/Rescue Department knw where they are lcated. Help will take time t arrive because respnders must assess the situatin, make the area safe, and have resurces available t cnduct rescue peratins. If there is n life threatening emergency, the Fire/Rescue Department will nt attempt t cme t yur specific lcatin. Mre infrmatin abut disability preparedness can be fund at: and 13

14 Grand Campus Clubhuse Evacuatin Prcedures These prcedures represent best practices and are included here fr reference. These prcedures may be in effect during regular business hurs if there are sufficient faculty and staff members present and available t implement them. Individuals shuld determine their best curse f actin based upn the infrmatin presented in this Emergency Actin Plan. When Alerted t an Emergency Requiring Evacuatin - Evacuate. Prir t Evacuatin: Cmmunicatin shuld be accmplished in persn, thrugh telecmmunicatins, r thrugh the use f runners. A high visibility vest and/r ther apprpriate equipment/materials may be lcated in the clubhuse ffice. The Facility Leader, their Alternate, r their designee (Resident Assistant) may bring ut this equipment.

Call (911) Fr Help Reprt t Emergency Respnders Infrmatin abut the Fire/Smke/Need fr Rescue H. Have A Plan Yu Must Prtect Yurself Be Knwledgeable Abut Fire Safety and Take Every Alarm Seriusly Fire Safety Infrmatin A building ccupant is required by law t evacuate the building when a fire alarm sunds. Knw at least tw escape rutes frm wherever yu are. Review escape rutes with thers in yur area. Practice escaping frm each rm with and withut light(s). Never use the elevatr t evacuate. In case f fire, always use the stairs t get ut. Make sure t practice using the stairs as part f yur escape plan. If smene has difficulty climbing up r dwn stairs, make sure t incrprate a cntingency fr this in yur evacuatin plans. D nt re-enter the building r wrk area until yu have been instructed t d s by the emergency respnders. T prtect yurself, it is imprtant t understand sme basic characteristics f fire. Fire spreads quickly; there is n time t gather valuables r make extraneus phne calls. In just tw minutes, a fire can becme life-threatening. In five minutes, a residence can be engulfed in flames. Heat and smke frm fire can be mre dangerus than the flames. Inhaling the super-ht air can sear yur lungs. Fire prduces pisnus gases that make yu disriented and drwsy. Instead f being awakened by a fire, yu may fall int a deeper sleep. Asphyxiatin is the leading cause f fire deaths, exceeding burns by a three-t-ne rati. What t d during a fire: If yur clthes catch n fire: Stp, Drp, and Rll - until the fire is extinguished. Running nly makes the fire burn faster. T escape afire: Ht Dr D nt pen. Escape thrugh a windw if yu can. If yu cannt escape, hang a white r light-clred clth utside the windw, alerting Fire/Rescue t yur presence. Seal yurself in fr safety if yu cannt exit due t smke r fire. Call the fire department t reprt yur exact lcatin. Gather in a rm with a windw t await their arrival. Clse all drs between yu and the fire. Use duct tape r twels t create a seal arund the dr and ver air vents in rder t keep smke frm cming in. Cl Dr Open slwly and ensure fire and/r smke is nt blcking yur escape rute. If yur escape rute is blcked, shut the dr immediately and use an alternate escape rute. If clear, leave immediately thrugh the dr and clse it behind yu. Be prepared t crawl. Smke and heat rise. The air is clearer and cler near the flr. Mre infrmatin abut fire safety can be fund n the EKU Envirnmental Health & Safety Webpage: 38

39 Check clsed drs fr heat befre yu pen them. If yu are escaping thrugh a clsed dr, use the back f yur hand t feel the tp f the dr, the drknb, and the crack between the dr and dr frame befre yu pen it. Never use the palm f yur hand r fingers t test fr heat - burning thse areas culd impair yur ability t escape a fire (i.e., ladders and crawling). Crawl lw under any smke t yur exit - heavy smke and pisnus gases cllect first alng the ceiling. Clse (but d nt lck) drs behind yu as yu escape t delay the spread f the fire. Stay ut nce yu are safely ut. D nt reenter. Once utside, mve t a clear area away frm the affected building(s) r t a designated assembly area. Keep streets, fire lanes, hydrants, and walkways clear fr emergency respnders. Check in with yur family and check in with smene wh has respnsibility fr yu. Seek medical attentin if needed. Basic First Aid fr Burns: Stp, Cl, and Cver. Stp the burn. Cl the burn with cl running water. Cver the burn lsely with sterile dressings. (When cling the burn make certain that there is n cntact with electricity) (Lse sterile dressings can help prevent infectin) Fire Extinguishers: Yu shuld nly cnsider using a fire extinguisher if yu have been trained n hw t use ne and nly if yu feel cnfident that yu can use ne safely. A prtable fire extinguisher can save lives and prperty by putting ut a small fire r cntaining it until the fire department arrives; but prtable extinguishers have limitatins. Because fire grws and spreads s rapidly, the number ne pririty is t get ut safely. Safety Tips: Use a prtable fire extinguisher when the fire is cnfined t a small area, such as a wastebasket, and is nt grwing; everyne has exited the building; the fire department has been called r is being called; and the rm is nt filled with smke. T perate a fire extinguisher, remember the wrd PASS: Pull the pin. Hld the extinguisher with the nzzle pinting away frm yu, and release the lcking mechanism. Test it by discharging a shrt blast nt the flr befre yu enter where the fire is. Aim lw. Pint the extinguisher at the base f the fire. Squeeze the lever slwly and evenly. Sweep the nzzle frm side-t-side. Fr the hme, select a multi-purpse extinguisher (can be used n all types f hme fires) that is large enugh t put ut a small fire, but nt s heavy as t be difficult t handle. Chse a fire extinguisher that carries the label f an independent testing labratry. Read the instructins that cme with the fire extinguisher and becme familiar with its parts and peratin befre a fire breaks ut. Lcal fire departments r fire equipment distributrs ften ffer hands-n fire extinguisher trainings. Install fire extinguishers clse t an exit and keep yur back t a clear exit when yu use the device s yu can make an easy escape if the fire cannt be cntrlled. If the rm fills with smke, leave immediately. Knw when t g. Fire extinguishers are ne element f a fire respnse plan, but the primary element is safe escape. 39

Flying debris frm trnades causes mst fatalities and injuries. Trnades are nature s mst vilent strms. Spawned frm pwerful thunderstrms, trnades can cause fatalities and devastate a neighbrhd in secnds. A trnad appears as a rtating, funnel-shaped clud that extends frm a thunderstrm t the grund with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hur. Damage paths can be in excess f ne mile wide and 50 miles lng. Every state is at sme risk frm this hazard. Sme trnades are clearly visible, while rain r nearby lw-hanging cluds bscure thers. Occasinally, trnades develp s rapidly that little, if any, advance warning is pssible. 40

41 Befre a trnad hits, the wind may die dwn and the air may becme very still. A clud f debris can mark the lcatin f a trnad even if a funnel is nt visible. Trnades generally ccur near the trailing edge f a thunderstrm. It is nt uncmmn t see clear, sunlit skies behind a trnad. The fllwing are facts abut trnades: They may strike quickly, with little r n warning. They may appear nearly transparent until dust and debris are picked up r a clud frms in the funnel. The average trnad mves Suthwest t Nrtheast, but trnades have been knwn t mve in any directin. The average frward speed f a trnad is 30 MPH, but may vary frm statinary t 70 MPH. Trnades can accmpany trpical strms and hurricanes as they mve nt land. Watersputs are trnades that frm ver water. Trnades are mst frequently reprted east f the Rcky Muntains during spring and summer mnths. Peak trnad seasn in the suthern states is March thrugh May; in the nrthern states, it is late spring thrugh early summer. Trnades are mst likely t ccur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., but can ccur at any time. Be alert t changing weather cnditins.

What t d during a Fld Preparing fr Fld: Be aware f streams, drainage channels, canyns, and ther areas knwn t fld. Flash flds can ccur in these areas with r withut such typical warnings as rain cluds r heavy rain. Cnstruct barriers (levees, beams, fldwalls) t stp fldwater frm entering yur area. Flding can ccur due t a Fire Emergency. If yur area is prtected by an autmatic sprinkler system, it can activate during a fire. In an autmatic sprinkler system, a netwrk f piping filled with water under pressure is installed behind the walls and ceilings, and individual sprinklers are placed alng the piping t prtect the areas beneath them. Because the water is in the piping, the fire sprinkler system is always "n call". If fire breaks ut, the air temperature abve the fire rises and the sprinkler activates when the air temperature gets high enugh. The sprinkler sprays water frcefully ver the flames, extinguishing them cmpletely in mst cases, r at least cntrlling the heat and limiting the develpment f txic smke until the fire department arrives. Only the sprinkler(s) nearest the fire activate. Smke will nt activate sprinklers. The activatin f an autmatic sprinkler system will cause flding and water damage t areas beneath the sprinkler heads. Yu shuld take precautins t prtect prperty frm water damage. Items shuld nt be placed directly n the flr and valuables shuld be insured. Evacuatin Tips: Secure yur area. If yu have time, bring utdr prperty inside. Mve essential items t an upper flr r at least up ff f the flr. Turn ff utilities at the main switches r valves if instructed t d s.

Encurage the negtiatin prcess and keep the fcus n utside cntact. Capitalize While encuraging a negtiated release r sme ther peaceful cnclusin, remain alert t rescue effrts and escape pprtunities. Drink water and eat if fd is available. Rest when yu can. It is imprtant t keep yur strength up and remain as healthy as pssible. If medicatins, first aid, r restrm privileges are needed by anyne, say s. If things change and the intruder becmes an active killer: As a victim yu have tw basic ptins Get Out Escape any way pssible: thrugh drs, windws, r stairs, and run at angles away frm the threat, placing cver r bstacles between yu and the danger until yu are safe. Take Out Disarm and disable the intruder as quickly as pssible with as much frce as needed. When Plice Arrive D nt pse a threat. Shw and empty yur hands. Get dwn n the grund. Fllw the rders f the plice. Hstile Intruder and Hstage Situatins may be thught f as being f three basic types. Type One is encuntered when the intruder r hstage taker is disturbed in their behavirs, feelings, and attitudes. What they d, hw it makes them feel, and hw and what they think abut their actins can be exacerbated by the influences that they may be under. Influences cntributing t r driving their behavir can include alchl, drugs and emtinal states. The individual may nt be sane and ratinal. The purpses fr their actins may r may nt be clear. Part f a successful reslutin t this issue is t think fr the ther persn the way that they wuld think fr themselves in 24 hurs when they are n lnger under the influences that they are currently under. This is a typical service that plice fficers perfrm when they are called t a scene t deal with disturbed individuals. Type Tw is the traditinal situatin in which the hstage takers try t use hstages as leverage t negtiate fr smething else f value. Type Three ccurs when an individual r a grup takes hstages t accmplish a plitical, scial, r ecnmic agenda r are bent n causing death and destructin t make sme statement. One pssible gal f the hstage taker(s) might be t destry the will f an enemies decisin makers rather than t directly cnfrnt anther s military frces. As a situatin develps, a ptential hstage needs t immediately assess the intruder s intent as being either fr attentin, negtiatin r murder. Hstage situatins may g thrugh three typical phases. Recgnizing these phases and knwing what t d in each is fundamental t surviving the situatin. 48

49 Phase One: Capture This is the mst dangerus phase and the ne during which the intruder is trying t take cntrl f the envirnment and the hstages. Victims need t assess the intruder s intent rapidly, avid attentin, and stay lw. If the intruder s intent appears t be detaining peple and/r cntrlling a facility fr attentin r negtiatin purpses, victims will mst likely mve thrugh phases tw and three. If, hwever, the intruder is actively shting r using ther deadly physical frce t kill, immediate actin is necessary. As a victim, yu have tw basic ptins: Get Out Escape any way pssible: thrugh drs, windws, r stairs, and run at angles away frm the threat, placing cver r bstacles between yu and the danger until yu are safe. Take Out Disarm and disable the intruder as quickly as pssible with as much frce as needed. Cnsider that if yu are in public with ther peple n yur side yu prbably utnumber the hstage taker(s). Remember United Airlines Flight 93 n September 11 th, The decisin t fight r play incapacitated (as listed in the Active Shter Emergency Actin Guide) is extremely risky. If yu fight, yu must be valiant, vicius, and victrius and yu must knw that yu will prbably be hurt, inured, disabled, r killed. Yu might hwever prevent a greater harm frm cming t yu r thers by putting up a gd fight. If yu d nt fight, yu might be spared. Yu culd play incapacitated and the intruder might pass yu by. Unhindered thugh, an intruder has an pprtunity t inflict multiple wunds, regrup, relad, and generally have his r her way until they are cnfrnted with deadly frce. Cnsider als that there is a traditin in warfare f making sure that the enemy is dead, by inflicting mrtal wunds n bdies that a sldier passes by. Again, the decisin is a risky ne. Phase Tw: Internment Assuming that yu are dealing with smene in need f attentin r intent n negtiating fr what they really want, an internment perid will fllw. This may last a few hurs, a few days, r even weeks. This is the time when negtiatins are taking place and the time t d sme planning fr varius cntingencies. During this time, hstages shuld emply the 3 C s. Calm Stay as calm as yu can. When hstages panic, hstage takers panic, and the situatin can escalate beynd the intruders riginal intentins. Be alert but maintain a lw prfile. Yu can appear calm by fllwing directins and aviding sensitive tpics in any cnversatin with the hstage taker. Maintain eye cntact with the captr when speaking with them but d nt stare. Be as plite and friendly as pssible. Avid drastic actin if yu are nt in immediate danger f death r serius physical injury. Be bservant. Yu may be released r yu may escape. The persnal safety f thers may depend n yur memry. Cnnect By empathizing r appearing t empathize with yur captr, yu may becme a persn t them rather than a bargaining chip. In sme cases, by creating a bnd, hstages have been able t make their captrs unwilling t harm them. By cnnecting and persnalizing the interactins, yu buy yurself time by slwing things dwn. Encurage the negtiatin prcess and keep the fcus n utside cntact. Capitalize While encuraging a negtiated release r sme ther peaceful cnclusin, remain alert t rescue effrts and escape pprtunities. Drink water and eat if fd is available. Rest when yu can. It is imprtant t keep yur strength up and remain as healthy as pssible. If medicatins, first aid, r restrm privileges are needed by anyne, say s. Phase Three: Reslutin Research indicates that a majrity f all hstages wrldwide survive their rdeal ne way r anther. Reslutins are typically characterized by ne f three ptins: Negtiated Release A negtiated release is the safest and smetimes lngest utcme, requiring patience and calmness frm all invlved. Rescue Success f a rescue peratin depends n the rescuer s ability t distinguish between the hstages and the hstage taker(s). Cperatin f the hstages is critical. Avid being miscnstrued as the criminal by aviding threatening psture. D nt grab and hld n t any weapns, and make sure the rescuers can see yur empty hands. Once the plice arrive, bey all cmmands. This may invlve yur being handcuffed r made t put yur hands up in the air. This is dne fr safety reasns, and nce circumstances are evaluated by the plice, they will give yu further directins t fllw. If yu are nt sure what t d, drp t the grund and stay lw until instructed t d therwise. Escape Escape is a risky reslutin. If an pprtunity presents itself, and the risk f staying is greater than the risk f ging, yu shuld take the risk and escape. Recgnize that yu are betting with yur life. If at any time yur intruder develps int an active shter r killer, refer back t the Phase One instructins t Get Out r Take Out. 49

The schl shting at Clumbine, and similar incidents, have caused a shift in law enfrcement training and tactics. Instead f being taught t wait fr a specialized team t arrive, fficers train n hw t take immediate actin and rapid deplyment during incidents that clearly invlve suspects use f deadly frce. 52

53 Guidance t Faculty, Staff and Students Active shter situatins are dynamic and prgress rapidly. It bears sme frethught as t what yu might d if yu are cnfrnted with in-prgress vilence. Any actin yu take in any given circumstance will invlve risk. N ne can tell yu, in the here and nw, that there is ne actin that yu can take that will guarantee yur safety. We, all f us, must try t manage ur risks and cnsider what is reasnable in any given situatin. Once ntified f an active shter incident, University Plice will be the first emergency respnders n the scene. Other law enfrcement fficers and emergency respnders (Fire/Rescue/HAZMAT/EMS) will fllw and be deplyed as needed. Plice are trained t respnd t an active shting incident by prceeding t the rigin f the vilence thrugh their present sense perceptin such as the sunds f gunfire, the screams f victims, infrmatin btained frm fleeing individuals and reprts and infrmatin cming in t the Dispatch Center r Incident Cmmand Pst. The plice will mve quickly int and thrugh the affected area until the shter is lcated and stpped r is n lnger a threat t life and safety. If yu are wunded, r with smene wh may be wunded, expect the fficers t bypass yu in their search as they must find the shter and eliminate the threat. T assist the fficers, please remain as calm as yu can and patient during this time t prevent any interference with plice peratins. If yu knw where the suspect is r have a descriptin f the persn, tell the plice. Rescue teams will fllw sn t aid yu and thers. During an active shter incident, the pririties f law enfrcement fficers change. Nrmal Law Enfrcement Pririties: Officer Safety Hstage/Public Safety Perpetratr Apprehensin Perpetratr Safety Active Shter Law Enfrcement Pririties: Neutralize Perpetratr Hstage/Public Safety Officer Safety Perpetratr Safety The imperative is t stp the vilence immediately. The Thery f Operatin: Enter the area. Mve quickly t the sunds and the surce f the vilence. Search nly when the surce f the vilence is r becmes unknwn. Mve past secured areas, victims and threats such as imprvised explsive devices. Engage and neutralize the perpetratrs. Search fr, evacuate, and tend t the living, the ill, and the injured. Preserve the crime scene and hlding area security fr investigative purpses. As described in the Hstile Intruder and Hstage Situatin sectin, if things change frm an intruder r hstage situatin t an active killer situatin, yu have tw basic ptins: Get Out r Take Out. Yu may find yurself in a place where yu becme aware f an active shter situatin and the killer is nt in yur immediate vicinity. If this is the case, there are a few additinal reasnable ptins t cnsider. Generally speaking, criminals take the path f least resistance. Yu prbably want t make it as difficult as pssible fr the perpetratr t get t yu and t victimize yu. There are several ptins that are reasnable althugh they may all be debated and they all invlve risk. Overall, what yu must cnsider is that yu are planning fr yur wn survival and nt relying n thers t save yu. Emergency actin during an active shter incident includes prtecting yurself first and warning thers as time and circumstances permit. 53

54 A gd general principle t remember is that time, distance, and shielding are imprtant in prtecting yu frm a threat. The farther away in time yu get frm when an event was suppsed t have happened r did happen, the safer yu tend t be. The farther away yu get frm the physical danger f an event, the safer yu tend t be. The mre shielding that yu can place between yu and the harmful event, the safer yu tend t be. There are als the cncepts f cncealment, cver, and being a mving target. Cncealment can hide yu frm a threat. If the shter cannt see yu, they will have a hard time hitting yu. Cver can stp, deflect r impede the prgress and minimize the damage caused frm prjectiles. A classic example f this cncept is in plice wrk. Getting dwn behind the dr f a plice cruiser can prvide cncealment frm a perpetratr with a handgun but it will nt stp a bullet. Getting dwn behind the engine blck f a plice cruiser hwever can prvide cver and the engine wuld likely stp r slw dwn the bullet. Finally, if yu are being targeted by an assailant, it is significantly harder fr them t hit a mving target. A gd tactic wuld be t mve away frm the perpetratr as fast as pssible. Mve at angles away frm the shter. Try t put bjects r cver between yu and the shter, which may impede the prgress f bullets, shrapnel and debris. Bear in mind thugh, that if yu run away and tpple bkshelves n the way ut, thers might be trying t run ut after yu and they will have t scramble ut ver tp f what yu pulled dwn. D nt run in a straight line away frm a shter which wuld cause yu t be in their sights fr a lng perid f time. Run away frm the shter if yu can, but if yu cannt r if yu think that running might place yu in mre danger, then shelter and shield yurself frm the danger. Lck yurself dwn alng with thers in yur immediate vicinity int a secured lcatin and call fr help. If yu are a persn in respnsible charge f ther peple then yu have sme ther things t cnsider, such as assembling and accunting fr thse fr whm yu are respnsible. Hwever, this shuld nt be t the detriment f the majrity f the individuals whse safety yu are trying t guard. Yu must cnsider the gd f the many ver the gd f the few r the ne. In ther wrds, what if yu were a teacher respnsible fr 30 students and 25 students were in yur classrm and 5 were smewhere else. Shuld yu leave the 25 t search fr the 5? Shuld yu lck the 25 in a classrm and g hunt fr the thers? Shuld yur students pen the classrm fr yu when yu return? Hw wuld they knw it is really yu asking t be let in? What if smene cmes t the dr saying that they are emergency respnse persnnel and asking t be let in? The plice will be able t prperly identify themselves and pen the dr withut yu having t pen it fr them. If yu shelter yu shuld quickly gather thse arund yu and mve swiftly frm the pen and public areas int an ffice r classrm. Clse the drs and windws and lck them. If the drs and windws will nt lck, then barricade them. Mve heavy bjects like desks and bkshelves in frnt f them s that they bstruct the entrances and impeded sight lines and the aim f shters. Clse the blinds r therwise bstruct the view f the perpetratr lking in thrugh windws and drs. Turn ff the lights and any audi vide equipment, get dwn and stay lw. Get under r behind sme sturdy furniture if pssible. Mve away frm the drs and windws s that yu are nt in the direct line f sight f a shter and ut f the path f prjectiles and debris. Be quiet and pretend that n ne is hme. D nt answer r pen the dr. Wait fr plice fficers t help yu ut f the area. If yu are caught in the pen and yu cannt run and cannt shelter, yu may try t hide frm the attacker. Make sure it is a well hidden space r yu may be fund as the intruder mves thrugh the area lking fr mre victims. If yu hide, take int cnsideratin the area in which yu are hiding. Will yu be fund there? Is it really a gd spt t remain hidden? Hiding is akin t playing incapacitated and yur survival is left t chance. If yu are cnfrnted by an active shter, if yu are in imminent danger f death r severe physical injury, and if the ptins f running r sheltering and shielding have failed, then yur viable ptins becme fight r play incapacitated. As described abve under the ptin f Take Out: Disarm and disable the intruder as quickly as pssible with as much frce as needed. Cnsider that if yu are in public with ther peple n yur side yu prbably utnumber the intruder(s). The decisin t fight r play incapacitated is extremely risky. If yu fight, yu must be valiant, vicius, and victrius and yu must knw that yu will prbably be hurt, injured, disabled, r killed. Yu might hwever prevent a greater harm frm cming t yu r thers by putting up a gd fight. If yu d nt fight, yu might be spared. Yu culd play incapacitated if ther victims are arund yu and the intruder might pass yu by. Unhindered, thugh, an intruder has an pprtunity t inflict multiple wunds, regrup, relad, and generally have his r her way until they are cnfrnted with deadly frce. If yu are caught by the intruder and yu are nt ging t fight back, d nt lk the intruder in the eyes, and bey all cmmands. D nt appear t pse a challenge and be submissive. Eventually the plice will cme fr yu. As stated earlier, their first pririty is t engage and neutralize the perpetratrs. When fficers arrive, things will be very tense. Avid being mistaken as a pssible intruder by aviding threatening psture. D nt grab and hld n t any weapns, and make sure the rescuers can see yur empty hands. Obey all cmmands given by the plice. This may invlve yur being handcuffed r made t put yur hands up in the air. This is dne fr safety purpses, and nce circumstances are evaluated, they will give yu further directins t fllw. If yu are nt sure what t d, drp t the grund, stay lw, and keep yur empty hands visible until instructed t d therwise. * This Guideline was adapted frm Surviving a Hstage Situatin by Andrew Taylr with infrmatin cmpiled frm three surces a telecnference hsted by the University Risk and Insurance Managers Assciatin, the Safe Travel Institute, and the Natinal Hstage Survival Training Center.

68 ENHANCED SHELTER IN PLACE (ESIP) SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Excerpted frm the Operatins & Maintenance Manual) (Enhanced Shelter In Place) (See Manual fr full peratins and maintenance infrmatin) Alumni Cliseum, Cmbs Building, Mdel Gymnasium, Perkins Building, Thmpsn Hall, University Building, and Whitlck Building are equipped with Cllective Prtectin Systems (CPS). These buildings have been mdified t prvide Enhanced Shelter In Place (ESIP) prtectin fr persnnel in the event f a hazardus chemical release at the nearby Blue Grass Army Dept. The ESIP prtectin system cnsists f permanent architectural sealing measures, mdificatins t the HVAC systems, and installatin f an ESIP cntrl panel (See Panel Lcatins page fr Panel Lcatins). The Majr System Cmpnents: Cntrl Panel Dampers Perimeter Drs HVAC System Activatin f the cntrl panel will: shut dwn the heating, ventilatin, and air-cnditining system and clse designated mechanical islatin dampers. Clsure f the exterir perimeter drs and windws will seal the prtected area, reduce utside air infiltratin, and prvide a level f prtectin fr the persnnel inside until the hazardus release has been cleared. Emergency Switch The emergency switch is a red buttn lcated n the frnt lwer right hand side f the cntrl panel. Pushing the emergency switch will start the ESIP system int peratin. Once the system is in peratin, pushing the emergency switch again will deactivate the ESIP system. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SYSTEM START UP Mve all persnnel int the prtected area when ntified that a hazardus event has ccurred. Manually clse and latch all perimeter drs. Verify that all exterir windws in the prtected area are clsed and latched. Start the ESIP prtectin system by pushing the red start buttn n the face f the cntrl panel. Check t insure that all green pilt lights n the face f the cntrl panel are illuminated. The ESIP system is perating prperly if all cntrl panel pilt lights are illuminated. Prceed t the trubleshting sectin f the manual if any f the cntrl panel pilt lights fail t illuminate. Keep all drs and windws clsed and remain in the prtected area until ntified that the hazard has been cleared. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SYSTEM SHUT DOWN After being ntified that the hazard has been cleared, stp the ESIP prtectin system by pushing the red start buttn again n the face f the cntrl panel. All pilt lights n the face f the cntrl panel shuld g ff verifying that the system has shut dwn. Perimeter drs may nw be pened and persnnel shuld exit t the utside.

72 Eastern Kentucky University and the Chemical Stckpile Emergency Preparedness Prgram (CSEPP) Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Richmnd Campus and Madisn Cunty facilities lie in several Znes (2E, 2D, 1C, and 3D). In rder t maintain EKU cntinuity f peratins, and t make a safe cmmunity respnse as fast as pssible, we have extended the cncept f an autmatic, default, Prtective Actin Decisin (PAD), used at Mdel Labratry Schl and Burrier Child Develpment Center, f Sheltering In Place (SIP), t all EKU facilities in Madisn Cunty. On Richmnd Campus (Znes 2E and 2D), individuals shuld g t an Enhanced Shelter In Place (ESIP) Building, withut delay, and activate their Cllective Prtectin Systems (CPS). At ther lcatins, like Meadwbrk Farm (Zne 1C) and Central Kentucky Reginal Airprt (Zne 3D), individuals shuld Shelter In Place using SIP Kits. The prmpt t Shelter In Place shuld be any mass ntificatin made, abut a cmmunity-wide hazardus materials incident, thrugh the Advisr Alert Radis (Vice Message), the Outdr Siren System (Alternating High/Lw Wail), and/r the EKU Emergency Ntificatin System Alert Methds. Updated infrmatin, such as exactly where a chemical plume is anticipated t g, what znes are truly affected, and when the plume is prjected t arrive, will be disseminated when that infrmatin becmes available.

If bth Richmnd Campus znes are actually affected, bth znes will take the same secndary prtective actins, if pssible, and relcate t the same decntaminatin and/r relcatin area. The pre-designated lcatin fr Zne 2E t relcate t is the Jacbsn Park in Lexingtn. This is the mst likely area fr bth znes t relcate t. (Burrier and Mdel Schls have different evacuatin/relcatin lcatins specific t daycare and schl ppulatins). Althugh all campus facilities in all znes tk the same initial prtective actins, it may be deemed necessary fr facilities in different znes t take different secndary prtective actins. Persnnel and students in ne zne may nt have truly been affected, and therefre may be tld t exit Shelter In Place and stay where they are. Persnnel and students in anther zne, which may have been affected, may be given a mre cautinary set f instructins, and be tld t relcate t a specific lcatin as determined by the Madisn Cunty Emergency Management Agency.

76 Earthquake Earthquake EMERGENCY ACTION Identify safe places indrs and ut. Under sturdy furniture like a heavy desk r table Against an inside wall Away frm where glass culd shatter arund windws, mirrrs, pictures, r where heavy furniture culd fall ver In the pen, away frm buildings, trees, telephne and electrical lines, verpasses, and elevated expressways Take Cver and prtect yur head, neck and trs. Remain Indrs until the shaking has stpped and yu are sure it is safe t exit. Evacuate if the alarm sunds r if tld t d s by Emergency Respnders. Mve Away frm buildings and ther things that may cllapse and fall. Earthquakes ccur mst frequently west f the Rcky Muntains, althugh histrically the mst vilent earthquakes have ccurred in the central United States. Earthquakes ccur suddenly and withut warning. Earthquakes can seriusly damage buildings and their cntents; disrupt gas, electric and telephne services; and trigger landslides, avalanches, flash flds, fires and huge cean waves called tsunamis. Aftershcks can ccur fr weeks fllwing an earthquake. In many buildings, the greatest danger t peple in an earthquake is when equipment and nn-structural elements such as ceilings, partitins, windws and lighting fixtures shake lse. What t d During an Earthquake Stay as safe as pssible during an earthquake. Be aware that sme earthquakes are actually freshcks and a larger earthquake might ccur. Stay indrs until the shaking has stpped and yu are sure exiting is safe. If Indrs DROP t the grund; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table r ther piece f furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stps. If there isn t a table r desk near yu, cver yur face and head with yur arms and cruch in an inside crner f the building. Stay away frm glass, windws, utside drs and walls, and anything that culd fall, such as lighting fixtures r furniture. Stay in bed if yu are there when the earthquake strikes. Hld n and prtect yur head with a pillw, unless yu are under a heavy light fixture that culd fall. In that case, mve t the nearest safe place. Use a drway fr shelter nly if it is in clse prximity t yu and if yu knw it is a strngly supprted, lad bearing drway. Stay inside until shaking stps and it is safe t g utside. Research has shwn that mst injuries ccur when peple inside buildings attempt t mve t a different lcatin inside the building r try t leave. Be aware that the electricity may g ut r the sprinkler systems r fire alarms may turn n. DO NOT use the elevatrs. If Outdrs Stay there. Mve away frm buildings, streetlights, utility wires, and ther structures. CAUTION: Avid dwned pwer r utility lines as they may be energized. D nt attempt t enter buildings until yu are advised t d s by the prper authrities. Once in the pen, stay there until the shaking stps. The greatest danger exists directly utside buildings, at exits, and alngside exterir walls. Many f the 120 fatalities frm the 1933 Lng Beach earthquake ccurred when peple ran utside f buildings nly t be killed by falling debris frm cllapsing walls. Grund mvement during an earthquake is seldm the direct cause f death r injury. Mst earthquake-related casualties result frm cllapsing walls, flying glass, and falling bjects. 76

77 If in a Mving Vehicle Stp as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle fr the shelter it prvides. Avid stpping near r under buildings, trees, verpasses, and utility wires. Prceed cautiusly nce the earthquake has stpped. Avid rads, bridges, r ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake. If Trapped Under Debris D nt light a match. D nt mve abut r kick up dust. Cver yur muth with a handkerchief r clthing. Tap n a pipe r wall s rescuers can lcate yu. Use a whistle if ne is available. Shut nly as a last resrt. Shuting can cause yu t inhale dangerus amunts f dust. After the Initial Shck Be prepared fr aftershcks. Aftershcks are usually less intense than the main quake, but can cause further structural damage. Prtect yurself at all times. Evaluate the situatin and call 911 fr emergency assistance, if necessary. D nt use lanterns, trches, lighted cigarettes, r pen flames, since gas leaks culd be present. Open windws, etc., t ventilate the building. Watch ut fr brken glass. If a fire is caused by the earthquake, implement the FIRE PROCEDURES. Determine whether r nt anyne has been caught in the elevatrs r was trapped by falling bjects. If s, call 911. DO NOT USE THE TELEPHONE UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR EMERGENCIES. Heavy use f the telephne will tie up the lines and prevent emergency calls frm ging ut. If the structural integrity appears t be deterirating rapidly, evacuate the building. Damaged facilities shuld be reprted t Facilities Services. If the evacuatin alarm sunds, fllw established building evacuatin prcedures. Shuld yu becme trapped in a building, DO NOT PANIC! If a windw is available, place an article f clthing (shirt, cat, etc.) utside the windw as a marker fr rescue crews. If there is n windw, tap n the wall at regular intervals t alert emergency crews f yur lcatin. Emergency Respnders will check buildings immediately after a majr quake. Other Cnsideratins Inspect yur facility fr any item that culd fall, spill, break r mve during an earthquake. Take steps t reduce these hazards: Mve large and heavy bjects t lwer shelves r t a platfrm n the flr. Hang heavy items away frm where peple wrk. Secure shelves, filing cabinets, tall furniture, desktp equipment, cmputers, printers, cpiers and light fixtures. Secure fixed equipment and heavy machinery t the flr. Add bracing t suspended ceilings, if necessary. Install safety glass where apprpriate. Secure large utility and prcess piping. Review prcesses fr handling and string hazardus materials. Have incmpatible chemicals stred separately. Designate areas in the facility away frm exterir walls and windws where ccupants shuld gather after an earthquake if an evacuatin is nt necessary. D nt use the elevatrs. Use stairways t leave the building if it is determined that a building evacuatin is necessary. 77

78 Civil Disturbances Civil Disturbances EMERGENCY ACTION Civil disturbances include rits, demnstratins, threatening individuals r assemblies that have becme disruptive. If yu bserve such disturbances: Call the plice. Dial 911, use an Emergency Call Bx, r Dial r frm yur cell phne if yu are n campus. Prvide the address, lcatin, and any details available t the dispatcher. D nt prvke r becme part f the disturbance. Secure yur wrk area, lg ff cmputers and secure sensitive files, if safe t d s.

Mst campus demnstratins such as marches, meetings, picketing, and rallies will be peaceful and nn-bstructive. A student demnstratin shuld nt be disrupted unless ne r mre f the fllwing cnditins exists as a result f the demnstratin: Physical harm r the threat f physical harm t persns, prperty, r facilities. Preventin f access t the facilities r functins f the University. Interference with the nrmal peratins f the University. 78

79 Disturbance Type Specific Prcedures Peaceful, Nn-Obstructive Demnstratins Generally, demnstratins f this kind shuld nt be interrupted. Demnstratrs shuld nt be bstructed r prvked, and effrts shuld be made t cnduct University business as nrmally as pssible. Plice shuld be called n standby in the event that the demnstratin suddenly becmes vilent. If demnstratrs are asked t leave but refuse t leave by regular facility clsing time: Arrangements may be made with the Chief f Plice r their designee t mnitr the situatin during nn-business hurs: and/r Determinatin will be made t treat the vilatin f regular clsing hurs as a disruptive demnstratin. Nn-Vilent, Disruptive Demnstratins In the event that a demnstratin blcks access t University facilities r interferes with the peratins f the University: Demnstratrs will be asked t terminate the disruptive activity by the President r their designee. The Chief f Plice r their designee will cnsider having a videgrapher available t dcument events. Key University persnnel and student leaders may be asked t g t the area t persuade the demnstratrs t desist. The demnstratrs will be asked t discntinue the disruptive activities r disperse and leave the area. If the demnstratrs persist in the disruptive activity they will be apprised that failure t discntinue the specified actin within a determined length f time may result in disciplinary actin including suspensin r expulsin and/r pssible criminal charges. Effrts shuld be made, using phtgraphs and vide, t secure psitive identificatin f demnstratrs in vilatin f rules and laws t facilitate later charges and testimny. After cnsultatin with the President, the apprpriate Vice-President(s), and the Executive Directr f Public Safety, r their designees, the determinatin f the need fr interventin by gvernment authrities will be made. If determinatin is made t seek the interventin f gvernment authrities, the demnstratrs shuld be s infrmed. Upn arrival f the plice, the demnstratrs may be warned by plice f the intentin t make arrests. Vilent, Disruptive Demnstratins In the event that a vilent demnstratin ccurs, and injury t persns r prperty happens r appears imminent, the plice shuld be ntified and they will take immediate and apprpriate actin t safeguard life and prperty. Such actin may invlve the use f physical frce t disperse the demnstratrs, make arrests, and prtect themselves, the cmmunity in general, prperty, and facilities frm harm. 79

81 Seasnal and Pandemic Flu Take 3 Against Flu 1 Vaccinate A flu vaccine is the best way t prtect against flu. The flu vaccine prtects against three different flu viruses. Getting a vaccine is very imprtant fr peple at high risk fr serius flu cmplicatins and their clse cntacts. Peple at high risk include infants, pregnant wmen, peple with chrnic health cnditins like asthma, diabetes r heart disease, and peple 65 and lder. 2 Stp Germs Cver yur cugh. Cver yur muth and nse with a tissue when yu cugh r sneeze, r cugh r sneeze int yur upper sleeve, nt yur hands. Thrw the tissue away after yu use it. Clean yur hands ften with sap and water, especially after yu cugh r sneeze. If yu are nt near water, use an alchl-based hand cleaner. Stay away as much as yu can frm peple wh are sick. If yu get the flu, stay hme frm wrk r schl. If yu are sick, d nt g near ther peple s that yu dn t make them sick. Try nt t tuch yur eyes, nse, r muth. Germs ften spread this way. 3 Antiviral Drugs There are flu antiviral drugs that can treat the flu r prevent infectin with flu viruses. Fr treatment, antiviral drugs shuld be started within 48 hurs f getting sick. Fr preventin, antiviral drugs are 70% t 90% effective in preventing infectin. These drugs must be prescribed by a health care prvider. If yu develp flu-like symptms (usually a high fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cugh, sre thrat, runny r stuffy nse, muscle aches, stmach symptms, such as nausea, vmiting, r diarrhea), r are expsed t the flu befre yu get a flu vaccine, yur health care prfessinal will decide whether yu shuld take antiviral drugs. Sme cmmn terms regarding the flu include: Epidemic: The rapid spread f a disease that infects sme r many peple in a regin at the same time. Pandemic: An utbreak f a disease that affects large numbers f peple arund the wrld. Influenza (Flu): A cntagius respiratry illness caused by particular strains f viruses. Influenza (Flu) Pandemic: A glbal utbreak f the influenza disease that ccurs when a new influenza virus appears in the human ppulatin. Because peple have little r n immunity t the new strain, serius illness can ccur, and the virus can spread easily and rapidly frm persn t persn with n vaccine immediately available. Seasnal Influenza (Flu): A cntagius respiratry illness caused by influenza viruses. In the U.S., there is a "flu seasn" that begins every fall and ends every spring r "seasnally." Mst peple have sme immunity and a vaccine is available, but it still affects an average f 5 t 20 percent f the U.S. ppulatin, causing mild t severe illness and at times can lead t death. Vaccine: An injectin that stimulates an immune respnse that can prevent an infectin r create resistance t an infectin. Vaccines are usually given as a preventive measure. 81

82 Antiviral: A medicatin that may be used t treat peple wh have been infected by a virus t help limit the impact f sme symptms and reduce the ptential fr serius cmplicatins. Peple wh are in high risk grups are ften given antiviral drugs because f their increased ptential t develp additinal health issues. Practice ther gd health habits. Get plenty f sleep, be physically active, manage yur stress, drink plenty f fluids, and eat nutritius fd. Mst healthy peple recver frm the flu withut cmplicatins. If yu get the flu: Stay hme, Get lts f rest, drink plenty f liquids, and avid using alchl and tbacc. There are ver-the-cunter (OTC) medicatins t relieve the symptms f the flu (but never give aspirin t children r teenagers wh have flu-like symptms, particularly fever). Remember that serius illness frm the flu is mre likely in certain grups f peple including peple 65 and lder, pregnant wmen, peple with certain chrnic medical cnditins and yung children. Cnsult yur dctr early n fr the best treatment, but als be aware f emergency warning signs that require urgent medical attentin. Emergency Warning Signs Children, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attentin include: Fast breathing r truble breathing Bluish skin clr Nt drinking enugh fluids Nt waking up r nt interacting Being s irritable that the child des nt want t be held Flu-like symptms imprve but then return with fever and wrse cugh Fever with a rash Adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attentin include: Difficulty breathing r shrtness f breath Pain r pressure in the chest r abdmen Sudden dizziness Cnfusin Severe r persistent vmiting Seek medical care immediately (call yur dctr r g t an emergency rm) if yu r smene yu knw is experiencing any f the signs abve. When yu arrive, tell the receptin staff that yu think yu have the flu. Yu may be asked t wear a mask and/r sit in a separate area t prtect thers frm getting sick. Sme mre cmmn flu terms are: Scial Distancing: A disease preventin strategy in which a cmmunity impses limits n scial (face-t-face) interactin t reduce expsure t and transmissin f a disease. These limitatins culd include, but are nt limited t, schl and wrk clsures, cancellatin f public gatherings and clsure r limited mass transprtatin. Quarantine: The physical separatin f healthy peple wh have been expsed t an infectius disease fr a perid f time frm thse wh have nt been expsed. Islatin: The physical separatin f a persn suffering frm an infectius r cntagius disease frm thers in a cmmunity. Avian Influenza: Cmmnly knwn as bird flu, this strain f influenza virus is naturally ccurring in birds. Wild birds can carry the virus and may nt get sick frm it; hwever, dmestic birds may becme infected by the virus and ften die frm it. H5N1: The scientific name fr a subtype f the avian influenza (bird flu) virus that has spread frm birds t humans. 82

83 Taking actin against the flu An influenza pandemic culd significantly impact yu and yur family... Yu may need t rerganize yur life t care fr lved nes r t receive care. Yu may lse incme if yur wrkplace clses r yu becme ill. Schl clsures can result in the need fr hme-schling r ther activities fr hmebund children. Access t fd and ther husehld gds may becme limited.

84 Staying healthy There are sme actins that everyne can practice t slw the spread f the flu and reduce its impact, whether the viruses invlved are seasnal r pandemic flu. Practicing these actins nw will make them easier t d later. Hand washing Wash yur hands with sap and water r clean them with an alchl-based hand sanitizer. Wash hands fr at least 15 secnds. This will reduce the chance f spreading flu frm ne persn t anther. Fr visibly siled hands, first wash with sap and warm water. When using sap and water: Wet hands with water and apply an amunt f sap recmmended by the manufacturer t hands Rub hands tgether vigrusly fr at least 15 secnds, cvering all surfaces f the hands and giving added attentin t fingernails and surfaces where jewelry is wrn Rinse hands with water Dry thrughly with a dispsable twel Use twel t turn ff faucet Fr hands that are nt visibly siled, wash with sap and water, use an alchl-based hand sanitizer (60 percent t 95 per alchl) r d bth. When using hand sanitizer: Use the amunt f sanitizer directed in the instructins n the prduct Rub thrughly ver all surfaces f the hands, including nail areas and between the fingers. Cntinue t rub until prduct dries Other healthy habits Cver yur muth and nse with a tissue when yu cugh r sneeze, and clean yur hands afterwards.

85 Pandemic Influenza A virulent influenza (flu) caused by a new flu virus strain t which humans have nt been expsed. It is mre serius than a typical seasnal flu because there is n natural resistance r immunity t it and infects large numbers f peple f different ages all ver the wrld, causing serius illness and pssibly death. Smetimes, a new type f flu virus may emerge t which the general public has n resistance. The lack f immunity enables the virus t spread quickly and easily frm persn t persn impacting cmmunities arund the wrld in a very shrt time, causing serius illness and death. This kind f flu is called pandemic flu. Research suggests that it may take tw t seven days t shw symptms when a persn catches the flu, and the symptms may last fr up t a week. A persn infected with the flu may transmit the flu fr ne t tw days befre they have symptms, and fr five t seven days after symptms begin. Pandemic flu is mre serius than seasnal flu. Mst peple wh get seasnal flu recver within a week r tw and usually d nt require medical treatment. Pandemic flu is different because mre peple wh get it might nt recver, even with medical treatment, and peple f every age may be at risk f serius illness r death. Unlike seasnal flu, there is n vaccine fr pandemic flu until researchers and pharmaceutical cmpanies are able t create ne, which takes time. Even if a vaccine is develped fr the pandemic flu, it will be a challenge t manufacture and dispense the vaccine t everyne in a timely manner. Scientists cannt accurately predict whether the avian influenza virus (H5N1) will cause the next human pandemic flu r when the next pandemic will ccur. During a flu pandemic, gvernment fficials may be required t limit cmmunity mvement r impse travel restrictins t help prevent the flu virus frm spreading. Things t keep in mind: Yu may be asked t stay hme fr an extended perid f time even if yu are nt sick. Schls, wrkplaces and public gatherings such as sprting events r wrship services may clse temprarily. Mass transprtatin such as subways, buses, trains and air travel may be limited. Yu, yur family and friends may need t rely n each ther when yu cannt depend n the services yu nrmally use. Think abut hw yu handle stress and knw yur strengths. Take steps t plan fr, get thrugh and recver frm a flu pandemic... Planning at Hme Stre a tw-week supply f fd. Select fds that d nt require refrigeratin, preparatin r cking. Ensure that frmula fr infants and any child s r lder persn s special nutritinal needs are a part f yur planning. Plan fr yur pets as well. Be sure t have a manual can pener.

Keeneland Drive Richmnd, KY The Chemical Stckpile Emergency Preparedness Prgram (CSEPP) is a jint venture between the United States Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) t assist state and lcal gvernments t imprve emergency planning and preparedness in cmmunities near chemical weapns strage sites in the United States. Even thugh an accidental chemical agent release is highly unlikely, this planning prcess is imprtant because it requires crdinatin f lcal military and civilian effrts and ensures that decisins will be made and carried ut effectively in a crisis. The tw remaining stckpiles are secured at the Blue Grass, KY. and Puebl, CO., U.S. Army installatins. Each cmmunity prvides its residents imprtant emergency preparedness infrmatin. The chemical stckpiles at the Edgewd Area f Aberdeen Prving Grund in Maryland, the Pine Bluff Aresnal in Arkansas and the Newprt Chemical Dept in Indiana were cmpletely destryed. In 2000, a stckpile n Jhnstn Atll, an island in the Pacific Ocean, was als cmpletely destryed. 95

96 Adviser Alert Radis (AARs) Beginning in the spring f 2011, Adviser Alert Radis (AARs) were sent ut t eligible addresses within Madisn Cunty. These radis replaced the riginal Tne Alert Radis (TARs) distributed in Madisn Cunty in the mid-1990s. The AARs have a lnger battery life, text display, AM/FM radi capabilities, and additinal user-friendly features. This upgrade als extended the cverage area within the cunty. Previusly, TARs were distributed t a 6.2 mile radius frm the chemical limited area at the Blue Grass Army Dept. Nw, AARs are distributed t a 9.2 mile radius as well as t residents within the city limits f Berea. Madisn Cunty EMA/CSEPP recmmends residents utside this area purchase a weather radi at a lcal retailer. All special ppulatin facilities received an AAR, n matter what their lcatin in the cunty. Special ppulatin facilities include schls, daycares, lng-term care facilities and hspitals. Old TARs are n lnger peratinal, s there is n need t keep an ld TAR, but they d nt belng in the garbage they will be prperly recycled by Madisn Cunty EMA/CSEPP.

97 Outdr Warning System Sirens are designed as an utdr warning system. They alert peple wh are utside that an emergency has ccurred r is imminent. The purpse is t mve persns int a shelter, and have them tune t Emergency Alert System (EAS) radi statins fr mre infrmatin. WEKY 1340 AM WEKU 88.9 FM WCBR 1110 AM WLFX FM WCYO FM WIRV 1550 AM Time Warner Cable Ninety (90) sirens are lcated thrughut Madisn Cunty. The sirens are strategically placed in mre heavily ppulated areas f the cunty, including Richmnd, the Eastern Kentucky University campus, Berea, Frt Bnesbrugh, White Hall, Kingstn, Unin City, and Kirksville. The siren system has three (3) different wails r tnes. Different tnes are used fr different types f emergencies. Each tne lasts fr frty-five (45) secnds, and is fllwed by a fifteen (15) secnd vice message. The steady wail is the severe weather tne. It is a cntinuus frty-five (45) secnd screech that sunds like a cnventinal siren. A vice message will either state that the Natinal Weather Service has issued a severe weather warning, instructing listeners t tune t lcal radi and televisin statins, r it will state the type f warning (thunderstrm r trnad) and instruct listeners t seek shelter immediately. The alternate steady wail is the chemical incident tne. It is a series f tw high-pitched beeping sunds. The beep last fr frty-five (45) secnds, and are fllwed by a message that tells residents an incident has ccurred, and t listen t lcal EAS radi statins. Westminster Chimes is the testing wail. Tests are cnducted n the first Saturday and the third Wednesday f every mnth at 12:20 in the afternn. 97

98 SHELTER IN PLACE What is Sheltering in Place? "Shelter in Place" is ne f the basic instructins yu may receive frm EMA fficials during a chemical emergency in Madisn Cunty. Sheltering in place during a chemical emergency ffers yu and yur family immediate prtectin fr a shrt time in yur hme. Here and all acrss the natin, emergency fficials may advise sheltering in place in any ne f these cnditins: A chemical leak is expected t last fr a shrt time, A chemical has a lw health hazard and its release des nt warrant an evacuatin, There is nt time t evacuate, Chemical fumes culd quickly vertake yu if yu are utside. If yu are tld t shelter in place, take yur children and pets indrs immediately. In the event f a chemical emergency at the Blue Grass Army Dept, peple in Kentucky wh are within 6.2 miles f the Dept wuld be advised t shelter in place. This area is called the Immediate Respnse Zne (IRZ). Peple utside these areas, may nt need t shelter in place, but this wuld be determined n a case by case basis. Infrmatin prvided by the Natinal Institute fr Chemical Studies (NICS). Visit them nline at The fllwing general infrmatin is a guide n hw yu can be ready and set t act quickly in a chemical emergency. BEFORE A CHEMICAL EMERGENCY A chemical emergency may ccur anywhere hazardus materials are manufactured, stred r transprted. Chemical plants are bvius surces f ptential accidents. Less bvius are highways, railways and strage cntainers at places such as swimming pls (chlrine). Study yur surrundings fr fixed and mbile surces f hazardus materials. Find ut hw yu wuld be alerted in the event f a chemical emergency. Learn abut the public warning systems where yu live and wrk. These systems will be tested n a regular schedule. Learn when the tests are cnducted. Keep yur shelter-in-place kit in an easily accessible place. The kit shuld cntain duct tape fr sealing cracks arund drs and windws; plastic t cver windws and the dr; scissrs and a battery perated AM/FM radi. Yu may als want t add these items: a flashlight with fresh batteries; bttled water; tys fr yung children; candles; matches; first aid kit; medicine and ther items essential fr yur family's cmfrt. Fr mre infrmatin call the Madisn Cunty EMA at (859) Fr a place t shelter, select a rm in yur hme r business that has few r n windws. The rm shuld have a telephne, althugh yu shuld use it nly fr emergency calls. If yu use it therwise, yu may be taking up a line needed by emergency respnse fficials. Measure the windw(s) and dr and cut pieces f plastic t fit them. Hint: Cut the plastic at least 6 inches wider than the actual size. This makes it easier t put the plastic up if needed. Use a marker t write n the individual sheets and where they g. Fld and place back in yur shelter in place kit. Ensure everyne in yur family knws where they kit is stred. Check the kit every six mnths t make sure all the supplies are still there and that they are fresh. Lcal radi and televisin statins usually carry emergency bradcasts. In sme cmmunities, cable cmpanies have als agreed t carry emergency messages. Infrmatin will nt be bradcast n satellite based services that d nt carry lcal prgramming. 98
