Cosand Center Crisis Management Plan

I. PURPOSE The purpose of this plan is to establish guidelines and the general course of

action to be taken to protect the lives, property, public health, and safety of all employees, students, and visitors of the Cosand Center and to avert or attempt to lessen the threat of a crisis or emergency situation that includes but does not limit, all man-made disasters, natural disasters, and/or technological disasters. While it is likely that outside assistance would be available in most large-scale emergencies, a short-term plan of operation must be put into effect to carry out a coordinated response to the crisis until further assistance can be obtained.

II. OBJECTIVE To establish the basic organizational and operational procedures to be used in the

event of any and all emergency situations that occur at the Cosand Center. To establish within these procedures a structured command and an effective span of

control that will enable us to commit all the resources available towards minimizing the threat of the crisis and towards protecting property, and protecting our student population, our employees and visitors to the campus.

To create a safe learning and working environment through the use of three

phases: prevention, intervention, and response. It is our hope that by concentrating on prevention, we shall attempt to reduce the necessity of intervention and response.

III. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS A. SITUATION 1. The Cosand Center is located in downtown St. Louis,

Missouri, at 300 South Broadway, east of Busch Stadium. 2. The Center houses the Administrative functions of the St.

Louis Community College District. Normal operation is from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. House staff is present 188 hours a day with exception of Saturday and Sunday.

3. The Cosand Center can sufficiently handle small emergencies with

current resources of manpower, designated safe areas, and limited supplies of medical equipment. The Cosand Center, however, depending upon the severity and magnitude of the emergency, may

not be able to cope with the situation and must therefore rely on outside agencies for assistance.

4. A hazard analysis was conducted for the Cosand Center and it was

found that this Center is vulnerable to many different types of natural disasters, technological disasters, man-made disasters, and criminal acts.

B. ASSUMPTIONS 1. While we cannot possibly plan for all types of possible

scenarios that may take place in any or all of the emergency situations listed above, we can set forth plans to help prevent, mitigate, respond to, and minimize their threats.

2. That officials and employees of the Cosand Center are

aware of the possible occurrence of an emergency situation or disaster and are aware of their responsibilities in the execution of this plan and will fulfill these responsibilities at the appropriate times.

3. That some situations may occur even after the

implementation of warnings and other preparedness measures, while others may occur without any warning at all.

4. That the proper implementation of this plan will prevent or

reduce the loss of lives and damage to property. 5. That during most emergencies, a command center will be

established with appropriate communications ability and an established chain of command that will direct and coordinate activities and responses to the emergency.

IV. ROLES OF EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS

Every employee can potentially play a role in this plan. The most critical aspect of the plan is communication; accurate reports from the scene are essential to providing adequate emergency services. The staff must also receive up-to-date instructions concerning disaster response procedures and news of the evolving events.

V. ROLE OF STAFF

Every member of the staff should read and understand the Cosand Center Crisis Management Plan and familiarize themselves with evacuation routes, safe areas, and their responsibilities

should an emergency occur. Employees must be prepared to assess situations quickly but thoroughly, and use common sense in determining a course of action. They should follow this plan and its procedures when reporting fires or other emergencies that require immediate attention, establish contact with appropriate departments and evacuate staff, students, and/or employees under their control to pre-designated areas in an orderly manner. Faculty members and employees of the Center are seen as leaders by students and subordinates and should be prepared to take care of and direct their charges to assembly areas in the event of an emergency.

VI. CRISIS MANAGEMENT TEAM (CMT)

The Crisis Management team of the Cosand Center is the essence of the emergency operations organization. The team's responsibilities will relate closely to their normal authority and functions. It will implement strategy and plans for the recovery, and will communicate with field personnel, issue instructions to particular units, and monitor progress in carrying out the instructions. The Cosand Team will consist of many of the same members as the District Team.

Crisis Team Members Chancellor Vice Chancellor of Business Services Vice Chancellor of Education Vice Chancellor for Technology & Educational Support Services General Counsel Manager of Risk Management Director of Human Resources Comptroller Manager of Purchasing Manager of Physical Facilities Director of Community Relations Director of Information and Telecommunication Systems

VII. AUTHORIZATION TO ACTIVATE CRISIS MANAGEMENT

TEAM

The crisis team will not be active until the Chancellor or his designate has given their personal notification. The team is subject to additional members if the event deems necessary.

VIII. TRAINING, DRILLS, AND EXERCISES In order for this plan to be effective, the campus must maintain a constant

state of readiness to ensure the effective and orderly transition from

routine activities to those associated with crisis/emergency situations. A planned program of training, drills, and exercises for CMT members and employees of Cosand Center is essential.

The manager of Risk Management will primarily be responsible for setting

up crisis management training. Training Objectives: a. To establish the capabilities for protecting employees, students,

and visitors to the campus from the effects of crisis/disasters. b. To respond effectively to an actual occurrence of a crisis/disaster. c. To provide for recovery in the aftermath of a crisis/disaster. d. To validate plans and assure preparedness.

Training Program 1. Train all members of the campus on the plan. 2. Conduct tabletop exercises with the CMT staff. 3. Conduct annual Fire, Earthquake, and Disaster drills to ensure the employees' awareness of emergency procedures. 4. Conduct an annual review and make any necessary changes to the plan.

IX. NATURAL DISASTERS

A. EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCIES During a major earthquake, there will be no warning. You may experience

shaking that starts out to be gentle and, within seconds, grows violent and knocks you off your feet. You maybe jarred by a violent jolt's though a truck has hit the building. A second or two later, you will feel the shaking and find it very difficult to move from one room to another. The shaking will last no more than 20 to 60 seconds. Most injuries are from falling debris during those few seconds.

When you feel the building shaking: 1. Immediately get under a desk or table, or stand in a doorway or comer. 2. Stay away from windows, outside walls, and glass cases. 3. Do not use elevators.

4. Do not attempt to leave the building.

When the ground and building stop shaking: 1. Be prepared for aftershocks. 2. Check yourself and others around you for injuries. If necessary and

possible, render first aid. 3. Turn off non-essential electric light switches, computers, radios, and

other electric appliances near you. 4. Do not use the telephone. 5. If conditions permit, exit the building by means of the stairways. Assist others

around you, especially individuals with disabilities. Reassemble outside on the west side of the parking lot at Broadway and Spruce. The Evacuation Coordinators will attempt to perform a head count.

6. If you are trapped or cannot get to a stairway exit, remain calm and

wait for help to arrive. When you hear someone coming, call out to him/her in order to help direct them to where you are.

Rescue operations or actions to restore the Joseph P. Cosand College Center to a normal environment will be dependent upon the severity of the earthquake and the extent of the physical damage to the building.

XI. MAN-MADE DISASTERS A. BOMB THREATS • Try to gather as much information as possible (See form). • After call, contact Risk Management. If after hours, see

emergency call list. • If instructed to do so, call 911 and report it. 1. THE THREAT ITSELF

Of cardinal importance is the fact that the manifestation of the threat is the only connection that we have with the perpetrator of the hoax or the actual placing of the explosive device. The overwhelming majority of bomb threats are conveyed by means of a telephone call. It is very important that we utilize this tie to the wrongdoer to the utmost to identify and apprehend him. It is of absolute, prime importance that the receiver of the call obtain the exact message as given by the caller and to hold the caller on the line as long as possible. An attempt should be made to trace the call. To assist in keeping the caller engaged in conversation, a recommended procedure is to have a prepared list of questions, so worded as to elicit more specific information about the location of the explosive device. The fact that the person calls indicates that the threat is a hoax or that the threat is a desire at least to see that no one is hurt. One who would place a destructive device with intent to injure someone certainly would not call to warn the prospective victims. Any background noises heard while the call is in progress should be noted (i.e. a jukebox, tinkling of glasses, loud and noisy conversation). Try to determine from the voice characteristics the sex, approximate age, and mental condition of the caller. Notice if the caller is apparently intoxicated (slurred speech). Employees should be instructed never to disregard any such message but immediately notify their supervisor and the Police Department (911). The time of the day and the day of the week may indicate a discernable pattern. Since such calls can originate from disgruntled employees or clients who have a feeling of animosity towards the organization, it should be determined, if possible, whether the call is coming from within or outside the building.

2. SEARCH OF PREMISES No call or threat should be disregarded. A search must be carefully and properly made. First, consider how the bomb could have been brought into the building. Bombs, which have been found, have been located in public area of the building corridors, toilets, near elevators, etc. This clearly indicates where the most intensive search should be conducted. Too frequently the reaction to a telephoned bomb threat is to evacuate the building helter-skelter, await the arrival of the police, and allow them make the search. It is important that any search must be made by someone familiar with the area in order to note something alien to the surroundings. A policeman conducting a search by himself would have no way of knowing what does belong and what does not belong to the surroundings. Thus, it is most important that the search be made by those who occupy the area or who are familiar with it. Certainly, this possesses a problem in view of the hysteria engendered by the threat itself and the occasional instances when a bomb is actually found.

Security, maintenance, and management personnel should be constantly alert to spot persons acting in a suspicious manner. Furtiveness is perhaps the attitude and action that bears watching. 3. PROBLEM OF EVACUATION Hasty evacuation can endanger more lives through panic than an explosion would. There should be a prearranged plan for evacuation. Certain personnel should be directed to particular staircases. Elevators should not be used. Of course, since stairways of a building are generally public areas and thus more likely to be the area where a bomb would be placed, it follows that personnel using these stairways to leave the building may be exposing themselves to greater danger than they would had they remained in their offices protected by the surrounding walls and partitions. Generally, most offices are occupied continuously during working hours and it is less likely that an explosive device would be placed there; further, personnel would more readily detect a strange object in the offices they use daily. The decision to evacuate the premises is a managerial decision. Whoever has the responsibility must be aware that it is a mistake to

move a large number of people unless complete control of the situation is maintained. In determining whether to evacuate or not, the responsible executive should consider the various factors- the source of the information about the threat: is this the first time or have there been repetitive threats, searches and evacuation: are employees or students excused from work or school because of such threats: did a first bomb threat, followed by evacuation, possibly precipitate another bomb call. There are considerations that assist in evaluation of the threat's validity. And, of course, the size of the building, the number of occupants, the type of occupancy, and the locale are other factors in determining whether to evacuate.

Some organizations evacuate their employees to a large open area such as an auditorium or cafeteria. This also may be more dangerous than to have personnel remain in their own offices, protected by partitions, filing cases, etc. 4. PROCEDURE IF SUSPICIOUS OBJECT IS FOUND

It is important not to move or touch the suspected object itself or any article nearby. Guards should be stationed at a safe distance to cordon off the danger zone. If it is feasible to do so, flammables should be removed from the area; gas and fuel lines feeding into the location should be shut off. Again, DO NOT TOUCH, leave in position found. A trained explosive team will respond to safely remove all suspect packages.

*Review Bomb Threat Checklist B. CIVIL DISTURBANCE This category will consist of the following: Murder Kidnapping Bombing/Threats Assault Abduction Rape Bomb Threats

When the capabilities of the existing visitor policy and procedures are exceeded or crimes are committed, The St. Louis Police Department is to be notified by calling 911.

Cosand College Center Security will take the necessary steps to safeguard all staff and visitors. These actions include, but not limited to evacuation and lock down of floors.

C. HOSTILE/ARMED INTRUDER SITUATION

In the event that a hostile/armed intruder is actively causing danger or serious bodily injury or the threat of imminent death or serious bodily injury to person(s) within a building, the following procedures shall be implemented:

1. Staff should immediately lock the office door. If possible, cover any windows or openings that have a direct line of sight into the hallway.

2. Call security immediately, if possible. 3. Do not sound the fire alarm. A fire alarm would signal people to

evacuate the building and thus place themselves in potential harm as they attempt to exit.

4. Close blinds and curtains. 5. Stay away from windows. 6. Turn off lights and all audio equipment. 7. Remain calm. 8. Keep everyone together. 9. Keep office/area secure until police arrive. 10. If you are not in an office, try to get to one. 11. Stay out of open areas. 12. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT IN THE OPEN, YOU MUST DECIDE

WHAT YOU WILL DO. THIS IS A VERY CRUCIAL TIME AND IT CAN MEAN LIFE OR DEATH.

a. You can try to hide, but make sure it is well hidden. b. If you think you can make it to safety out of the area

by running, then do so. c. If you decide to run, do not run in a straight line,

zigzag. Use cover such as desks, cabinets, etc. d. If you feel you are unable to run or hide, you may

choose to play dead if other victims are around you. e. Your last option if caught in the open is to fight back.

This is dangerous, but depending upon your situation, but could be your last option.

f. If you are caught by the intruder and are not going to fight back, obey all commands and do not look the intruder in the eyes.

g. Once the police arrive, obey all commands. This may involve your being handcuffed, or keeping hands in the air. This is done for safety reasons. Once the police evaluate circumstances, they will give you further instructions.

D. SUSPICIOUS LETTER OR PACKAGE In the event that a suspicious letter or package is received, the following

measures shall be implemented: * Do Not Panic. 1. Do not shake, open, or empty the packages or letter. 2. Do not try to clean up powders or fluids. 3. Isolate the piece. Try to cover it with plastic bags, clothing,

trashcan, etc. 4. Leave the area and close the door, or section off the area to

prevent others from entering. 5. Wash your hands with soap and water to prevent spreading any

powder to your face or skin. 6. Notify Security/Risk Management. 7. Notify your supervisor. 8. Make a list of all people who were in the room where the package

was found. 9. Remove heavily contaminated clothing and place in a plastic bag

that can be sealed. 10. Shower with soap and water as soon as possible. Do not use

bleach or disinfectant on your skin.

Some typical characteristics that ought to trigger suspicion include letters or parcels that have the following:

a. Powder substance on the outside. b. Excessive postage. c. Handwritten or poorly typed addresses. d. Incorrect titles. e. Title, but no name. f. Misspellings of common words. g. Oily stains, discolorations of colors. h. No return address. i. Excessive weight. j. Lopsided or uneven envelope. k. Protruding sides or aluminum foil. 1.
