5 CSU Channel Islands Campus Emergency Management Plan INTRODUCTION The Califrnia State University Channel Islands Campus Emergency Management Plan is a basic guide that will be used t fr respnding t emergencies and disasters that may ccur n ur campus. All persnnel assigned respnsibility under this plan, are expected t knw and understand the plicies and prcedures utlined in the plan. The emergency respnse t any majr disaster will be cnducted within the framewrk f this plan. Exceptins r changes t this plan must be apprved by the Emergency Operatins Directr prir t implementatin. PURPOSE The Campus Emergency Management Plan is designed t effectively crdinate the use f University and cmmunity resurces t prtect life and campus facilities immediately fllwing a majr disaster. The plan clearly defines the emergency management cmmand structure as well as the pririties and respnsibilities fr each psitin within the structure. It is activated whenever an emergency affecting the campus cannt be managed thrugh nrmal channels. Examples f the types f emergencies where the plan may be activated include: Earthquakes Fires and Explsins Hazardus Materials Releases Extended Pwer Outages Flds Civil Disturbances This plan has been structured s that it is cnsistent with the state f Califrnia s Standardized Emergency Management System, and therefre cmplies with regulatins utlined in the Califrnia Cde f Regulatins Title ORGANIZATION The emergency rganizatin is cmpsed f tw separate grups: 1. Emergency Plicy Grup: Reprts t the Emergency Plicy Executive (President) and is cmpsed f the senir university executives and special supprt staff. The plicy decisins f this grup will be implemented by the Emergency Operatins Grup. 2. Emergency Operatins Grup: Reprts t the Emergency Operatins Directr and includes campus emergency peratins representatives wh will carry ut the tactical and peratinal aspects f the respnse The rganizatinal structure f ur emergency management team (cmpsed f bth grups) is cnsistent with the Natinal Incident Management System (NIMS) and Califrnia Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). The use f NIMS/SEMS is required by all public agencies in the state and is intended t facilitate pririty setting, interagency cperatin, and the efficient flw f resurces and infrmatin during an emergency. NIMS/SEMS utilizes the Incident Cmmand System (ICS) which grups the emergency management team int five sectins which all reprt t the Emergency Operatins Directr: Management: directs the EOC sectins during the incident. Operatins: implements pririties established by management. Planning/Intelligence: gathers and assesses infrmatin. Lgistics: btains the resurces t supprt the peratins. Finance: tracks all csts related t the peratins. Page 1

9 CSU Channel Islands Campus Emergency Management Plan RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL Executive Cntrl fr the Campus Emergency Management Plan and all activities cnducted during it s activatin are the respnsibility f the President (Emergency Plicy Executive) r in his/her absence, the highest ranking senir executive n campus. Operatinal Directin f activities cnducted under the plan are the respnsibility f the Directr f Public Safety (Emergency Operatins Directr) r in his/her absence the highest ranking member f the University Plice Department. ACTIVATION OF PLAN Activatin f the Campus Emergency Management Plan must be authrized by the President r their designee. Upn activatin f the Plan, the Emergency Operatins Directr, r in his/her absence the highest ranking member f the University Plice Department, will cmmence activatin f the Emergency Operatins Center (EOC), The EOC is a central lcatin where all members f the campus emergency management team gather t crdinate the respnse t a disaster. Our EOC is currently lcated in the Plice Building. Members f the emergency management team will be ntified f a campus disaster in the fllwing ways: Situatin #1: If telephne services are peratinal: 1. The Emergency Operatins Directr will pen the Emergency Operatins Center. 2. The EOC Dispatcher will immediately begin calling the members f the Emergency Operatins Grup. If the assigned individuals are nt available, the designated alternate will be cntacted. 3. The EOC Dispatcher will peridically advise the Emergency Operatins Directr f the availability and estimated time f arrival f the emergency management staff. 4. After ntifying the Emergency Operatins Grup, the Dispatcher will call the members f the Emergency Plicy Grup and advise them t cme t the EOC. Situatin #2: If the telephne services ARE NOT peratinal: 1. Designated members f the Emergency Operatins Grup and Emergency Plicy Grup will immediately travel t the EOC as sn as they are aware that a majr emergency has effected the campus. This includes individuals wh may be ff campus. 2. If designated emergency management persnnel d nt reprt t the EOC in a reasnable amunt f time, messengers may be dispatched. Page 5

10 CSU Channel Islands Campus Emergency Management Plan Appintment f Emergency Operatins Grup Representatives Until designated emergency peratins persnnel arrive, the Emergency Operatins Directr will immediately appint available individuals t fill the critical Emergency Operatins Grup Assignments. The first fur appintments will be: Operatins Sectin Manager Planning and Intelligence Manager Lgistics Manager Finance Manager These appintments will remain in effect until the individual designated fr the psitin arrives r a mre suitable temprary appintment is made by the Emergency Operatins Directr. MANAGEMENT OF THE EMERGENCY PRIORITIES Califrnia State University Channel Islands respnse t an emergency n campus will be guided by the fllwing fundamental pririties: 1. Life safety 2. Secure and preserve infrastructure and facilities 3. Restratin f the academic prgram Mre specific emergency respnse pririties will fllw frm these gals and the Emergency Operatins Grup will use these pririties when determining hw university persnnel and equipment will be utilized. While the cntextual characteristics f a particular emergency event (such as the time r day when an incident ccurs) may require sme adjustments, the fllwing respnse pririty categries shuld be used by the Emergency Operatins Grup: Buildings used by dependent ppulatins Residences & leased spaces Occupied classrms and wrk areas Occupied stadiums, special event venues Buildings critical t health and safety Student Health Center Ptential shelters, fd supplies Sites cntaining ptential hazards Facilities that sustain the emergency respnse Energy systems Infrmatin & cmmunicatin systems Transprtatin systems Classrms and academic space Administrative buildings Page 6

11 CSU Channel Islands Campus Emergency Management Plan INFORMATION FLOW Under the Incident Cmmand System (ICS), infrmatin within the EOC is transferred via the cmmunicatin paths depicted in the Emergency Respnse Organizatin chart shwn n page 2. It is particularly imprtant fr EOC team members t use their respective Sectin Managers fr cmmunicating with the Incident Cmmander. Fr example, the persns respnsible fr Traffic Cntrl and Public Health wuld send and receive infrmatin t/frm the Incident Cmmander thrugh the Operatins Sectin Manager. This rigid system fr managing the flw f infrmatin and resurces ensures that n ne persn is given cntrl fr mre infrmatin than they can effectively manage. EMERGENCY CHECKLISTS T assist EOC team members review their respnsibilities and duties fr their psitin, a psitin specific Emergency Checklist has been develped fr mst f the EOC Psitins Fr thse psitins that d nt have specific checklists, the General checklist will be used. These checklists are intended t prvide a gd starting pint fr issues that might need be cnsidered and/r addressed during an emergency. GENERAL APPROACH FOR EOC TEAM MEMBERS The apprach fr cnducting business in the EOC may be much different than the apprach used by EOC members in the curse f nrmal (nn-emergency) university business. It is quite likely that persns in the EOC will have t cllect and analyze tremendus amunts f infrmatin and then have t make decisins based n this infrmatin in a very shrt perid f time. T help functin in this type f an envirnment the fllwing general apprach shuld be used: 1. COLLECT INFORMATION 2. SHARE INFORMATION 3. PRIORITIZE Life safety Prperty Restre academic functin 4. PLAN AND THINK FOR AN OPERATIONAL PERIOD OF TIME (e.g. the next tw hurs ) This apprach, cupled with the Emergency Checklist fr yur assigned functin, will prvide the basic tls fr perating in the EOC. DEPARTMENT OR SPECIAL TEAM EMERGENCY PLANS Departments and designated special teams that will have an active rle in respnding t a campus emergency have develped Emergency Plans which describe the actins they will take. These plans are specific t their department r team and are cnsistent with Campus Emergency Management Plan. The emergency activities f these departments and special teams will be crdinated thrugh the EOC under the apprpriate Sectin Manager r branch crdinatr (in many cases this persn will be frm the department r special team). T ensure cnsistency with the Campus Emergency Management Plan all plans will have the fllwing basic elements: Rster f key persnnel in department which includes wrk and hme telephne numbers, as well as pager and cell phne numbers.

RECOVERY PLAN DEACTIVATION When emergency cnditins have stabilized and nrmal university peratins resume, the Campus Emergency Management Plan will be deactivated. If the nature f the incident requires an extensin f certain emergency services, then special task grups may be established t crdinate these cntinuing activities. These grups may need t cnsider: Academic r administrative space reallcatins Supprt services fr impacted students, faculty r staff Cst recvery issues PLAN EVALUATION Immediately fllwing the cessatin f emergency peratins, a survey f the Emergency Plicy Grup and the Emergency Operatins Grups will be cnducted t evaluate the effectiveness f the respnse effrt. Results f the survey will be used t determine whether the Campus Emergency Management Plan must be mdified t address any deficiencies which were discvered during it s activatin. A written After-Actin Reprt will be cmpiled and will be distributed t members f the emergency management team. Page 8

14 CSU Channel Islands Campus Emergency Management Plan MUTUAL AID If it is determined that lcal, state, r federal aid will be needed t respnd t the emergency, a request will be made t the jurisdictin in which the campus is lcated t prclaim a Lcal Emergency. Subsequently, a frmal request will be sent t the State Office f Emergency Services (OES) requesting that the Gvernr prclaim a State f Emergency. Under SEMS, mutual aid requests are crdinated by the OES manager fr ur Regin. All requests fr mutual aid frm OES must be crdinated with the Emergency Operatins Executive. The university als maintains mutual aid agreements with ther Califrnia State University campuses fr additinal Plice persnnel (Critical Respnse Unit) and fr Chemical Emergency Respnse. Requests fr these resurces shuld be crdinated thrugh the Law Enfrcement Branch Crdinatr (Plice) and the Hazardus Materials Branch Crdinatr (Chemical Emergency Respnse). VITAL RECORDS PROTECTION Vital recrds are recrds that are essential t the peratin f the university. Examples f Vital Recrds include: Academic recrds, payrll and persnnel recrds, and current cntracts r legal agreements. A majrity f these recrds are utilized and maintained electrnically via the university s main cmputer system. The data in this system is backed up in the fllwing manner: 1. Daily: Any data that has been changed within the last 24 hurs is backed up. The backed up data is stred 2. Weekly: Tw backup cpies f all data n the system are generated. One cpy is kept in the data safe, and the ther is maintained ff site at a cmmercial safe data strage lcatin. Vital surce dcuments and/r dcuments that are nt cnverted t an electrnic frmat are prtected in the fllwing ways: Student Recrds: All student recrds are stred ff site at a cmmercial safe data strage lcatin. If these recrds are needed fr any reasn (e.g. the student re enrlls in the university) the recrds are cnverted t the electrnic frmat. Persnnel Recrds: All nn-electrnic persnnel recrds are stred in lcked, fire prf dcument cabinets. Page 10

136 Returning hme can be bth physically and mentally challenging. Abve all, use cautin. General tips: Keep a battery-pwered radi with yu s yu can listen fr emergency updates and news reprts. Use a battery-pwered flash light t inspect a damaged hme. (Nte: The flashlight shuld be turned n utside befre entering - the battery may prduce a spark that culd ignite leaking gas, if present.) Watch ut fr animals, especially pisnus snakes. Use a stick t pke thrugh debris. Use the phne nly t reprt life-threatening emergencies. Stay ff the streets. If yu must g ut, watch fr fallen bjects; dwned electrical wires; and weakened walls, bridges, rads, and sidewalks. Befre Yu Enter Yur Hme Walk carefully arund the utside and check fr lse pwer lines, gas leaks, and structural damage. If yu have any dubts abut safety, have yur residence inspected by a qualified building inspectr r structural engineer befre entering. D nt enter if: Yu smell gas. Fldwaters remain arund the building. Yur hme was damaged by fire and the authrities have nt declared it safe. Ging Inside Yur Hme When yu g inside yur hme, there are certain things yu shuld and shuld nt d. Enter the hme carefully and check fr damage. Be aware f lse bards and slippery flrs. The fllwing items are ther things t check inside yur hme: Natural gas. If yu smell gas r hear a hissing r blwing sund, pen a windw and leave immediately. Turn ff the main gas valve frm the utside, if yu can. Call the gas cmpany frm a neighbr s residence.

138 Thrughut the recvery perid, it is imprtant t mnitr lcal radi r televisin reprts and ther media surces fr infrmatin abut where t get emergency husing, fd, first aid, clthing, and financial assistance. The fllwing sectin prvides general infrmatin abut the kinds f assistance that may be available. Direct Assistance Direct assistance t individuals and families may cme frm any number f rganizatins, including: American Red Crss. Salvatin Army. Other vlunteer rganizatin These rganizatins prvide fd, shelter, supplies and assist in clean-up effrts. The Federal Rle In the mst severe disasters, the federal gvernment is als called in t help individuals and families with temprary husing, cunseling (fr pst-disaster trauma), lw-interest lans and grants, and ther assistance. The federal gvernment als has prgrams that help small businesses and farmers. Mst federal assistance becmes available when the President f the United States declares a Majr Disaster fr the affected area at the request f a state gvernr. FEMA will prvide infrmatin thrugh the media and cmmunity utreach abut federal assistance and hw t apply. Cping with Disaster The emtinal tll that disaster brings can smetimes be even mre devastating than the financial strains f damage and lss f hme, business, r persnal prperty. Understand Disaster Events Everyne wh sees r experiences a disaster is affected by it in sme way. It is nrmal t feel anxius abut yur wn safety and that f yur family and clse friends. Prfund sadness, grief, and anger are nrmal reactins t an abnrmal event. Acknwledging yur feelings helps yu recver. Fcusing n yur strengths and abilities helps yu heal. Accepting help frm cmmunity prgrams and resurces is healthy. Everyne has different needs and different ways f cping. It is cmmn t want t strike back at peple wh have caused great pain.

139 Children and lder adults are f special cncern in the aftermath f disasters. Even individuals wh experience a disaster secnd hand thrugh expsure t extensive media cverage can be affected. Cntact lcal faith-based rganizatins, vluntary agencies, r prfessinal cunselrs fr cunseling. Additinally, FEMA and state and lcal gvernments f the affected area may prvide crisis cunseling assistance. Recgnize Signs f Disaster Related Stress When adults have the fllwing signs, they might need crisis cunseling r stress management assistance: Difficulty cmmunicating thughts. Difficulty sleeping. Difficulty maintaining balance in their lives. Lw threshld f frustratin. Increased use f drugs/alchl. Limited attentin span. Pr wrk perfrmance. Headaches/stmach prblems. Tunnel visin/muffled hearing. Clds r flu-like symptms. Disrientatin r cnfusin. Difficulty cncentrating. Reluctance t leave hme. Depressin, sadness. Feelings f hpelessness. Md-swings and easy buts f crying. Overwhelming guilt and self-dubt. Fear f crwds, strangers, r being alne. Easing Disaster-Related Stress The fllwing are ways t ease disaster-related stress: Talk with smene abut yur feelings - anger, srrw, and ther emtins - even thugh it may be difficult. Seek help frm prfessinal cunselrs wh deal with pst-disaster stress. D nt hld yurself respnsible fr the disastrus event r be frustrated because yu feel yu cannt help directly in the rescue wrk. Take steps t prmte yur wn physical and emtinal healing by healthy eating, rest, exercise, relaxatin, and meditatin. Maintain a nrmal family and daily rutine, limiting demanding respnsibilities n yurself and yur family. Spend time with family and friends. Participate in memrials. Use existing supprt grups f family, friends, and religius institutins.

140 Ensure yu are ready fr future events by restcking yur disaster supplies kits and updating yur family disaster plan. Ding these psitive actins can be cmfrting. Helping Children Cpe with Disaster Disasters can leave children feeling frightened, cnfused, and insecure. Whether a child has persnally experienced trauma, has merely seen the event n televisin, r has heard it discussed by adults, it is imprtant fr parents and teachers t be infrmed and ready t help if reactins t stress begin t ccur. Children may respnd t disaster by demnstrating fears, sadness, r behaviral prblems. Yunger children may return t earlier behavir patterns, such as bedwetting, sleep prblems, and separatin anxiety. Older children may als display anger, aggressin, schl prblems, r withdrawal. Sme children wh have nly indirect cntact with the disaster but witness it n televisin may develp distress. Wh is at Risk? Fr many children, reactins t disasters are brief and represent nrmal reactins t abnrmal events. A smaller number f children can be at risk fr mre enduring psychlgical distress as a functin f three majr risk factrs: Direct expsure t the disaster, such as being evacuated, bserving injuries r death f thers, r experiencing injury alng with fearing ne s life is in danger. Lss/grief: This relates t the death r serius injury f family r friends. On-ging stress frm the secndary effects f disaster, such as temprarily living elsewhere, lss f friends and scial netwrks, lss f persnal prperty, parental unemplyment, and csts incurred during recvery t return the family t predisaster life and living cnditins. What Creates Vulnerabilities in Children? In mst cases, depending n the risk factrs abve, distressing respnses are temprary. In the absence f severe threat t life, injury, lss f lved nes, r secndary prblems such as lss f hme, mves, etc., symptms usually diminish ver time. Fr thse that were directly expsed t the disaster, reminders f the disaster such as high winds, smke, cludy skies, sirens, r ther reminders f the disaster may cause upsetting feelings t return. Having a prir histry f sme type f traumatic event r severe stress may cntribute t these feelings. Children s cping with disaster r emergencies is ften tied t the way parents cpe. They can detect adults fears and sadness. Parents and adults can make disasters less traumatic fr children by taking steps t manage their wn feelings and plans fr cping. Parents are almst always the best surce f supprt fr children in disasters. One way t establish a sense f cntrl and t build cnfidence in children befre a disaster is t engage and invlve them in preparing a family disaster plan. After a disaster, children can cntribute t a family recvery plan.

141 A Child s Reactin t Disaster by Age Belw are cmmn reactins in children after a disaster r traumatic event. Birth thrugh 2 years. When children are pre-verbal and experience a trauma, they d nt have the wrds t describe the event r their feelings. Hwever, they can retain memries f particular sights, sunds, r smells. Infants may react t trauma by being irritable, crying mre than usual, r wanting t be held and cuddled. The biggest influence n children f this age is hw their parents cpe. As children get lder, their play may invlve acting ut elements f the traumatic event that ccurred several years in the past and was seemingly frgtten. Preschl - 3 thrugh 6 years. Preschl children ften feel helpless and pwerless in the face f an verwhelming event. Because f their age and small size, they lack the ability t prtect themselves r thers. As a result, they feel intense fear and insecurity abut being separated frm caregivers. Preschlers cannt grasp the cncept f permanent lss. They can see cnsequences as being reversible r permanent. In the weeks fllwing a traumatic event, preschlers play activities may reenact the incident r the disaster ver and ver again. Schl age - 7 thrugh 10 years. The schl-age child has the ability t understand the permanence f lss. Sme children becme intensely preccupied with the details f a traumatic event and want t talk abut it cntinually. This preccupatin can interfere with the child s cncentratin at schl and academic perfrmance may decline. At schl, children may hear inaccurate infrmatin frm peers. They may display a wide range f reactins sadness, generalized fear, r specific fears f the disaster happening again, guilt ver actin r inactin during the disaster, anger that the event was nt prevented, r fantasies f playing rescuer. Pre-adlescence t adlescence - 11 thrugh 18 years. As children grw lder, they develp a mre sphisticated understanding f the disaster event. Their respnses are mre similar t adults. Teenagers may becme invlved in dangerus, risk-taking behavirs, such as reckless driving, r alchl r drug use. Others can becme fearful f leaving hme and avid previus levels f activities. Much f adlescence is fcused n mving ut int the wrld. After a trauma, the view f the wrld can seem mre dangerus and unsafe. A teenager may feel verwhelmed by intense emtins and yet feel unable t discuss them with thers. Meeting the Child s Emtinal Needs Children s reactins are influenced by the behavir, thughts, and feelings f adults. Adults shuld encurage children and adlescents t share their thughts and feelings abut the incident. Clarify misunderstandings abut risk and danger by listening t children s cncerns and answering questins.
