FOREWORD

The purpose of Snow College General Emergency Preparedness/Operation Plan is to assist Snow College officials in providing timely, adequate and effective response to any natural or manmade disaster that may affect Snow College. It is designed to assist all College entities in taking steps to mitigate potential disasters, and to develop plans and strategies to cope with and mobilize resources for appropriate response and recovery.

This plan recognizes the importance of maintaining the College’s existing organizational structure, to every extent possible, during emergencies. By doing so, involved individuals may already be familiar with whom to contact when direction or assistance is necessary. In most instances, assigned tasks are routine. This benefits the campus community in general and also provides a certain degree of continuity with off campus emergency responders.
This plan establishes an Emergency Incident Team (E.I.T.) to direct the full resources of the College in the event of a campus-wide disaster or when deemed necessary for cooperative response of more than one campus entity and/or cities, counties and communities. This Emergency Team, under the direction of the Chair of the E.I.T., insures that the College is in a state of readiness to meet any disaster and directs all activities to abate and recover from such disaster. Each Vice President, Dean, Department Chair and Director is responsible for mitigation, preparation, response and recovery within their organizations. The Snow College Emergency Manager/Risk Manager will be responsible for coordinating efforts which require the cooperation of multiple entities for maximum effectiveness. He will be responsible for training programs to support the efforts of any college organization.

This plan represents a statement of the processes that Snow College will follow in emergency response and hazard mitigation roles, and should be reviewed at least annually and followed closely by those with mitigation, response, or recovery responsibilities.

The General Emergency Preparedness/Operation Plan is dynamic in nature since it will require continual revision and updating. Snow College’s Emergency Manager/Risk Manager will be responsible for administering and updating the general plan, and ensuring that current revisions, developed by designated College entities, are distributed to plan holders as appropriate. College organizations will ensure that specific appendices are current and that their personnel are trained to use the plan.

There is a humanitarian responsibility accepted by the College for all those affected by disasters occurring within Snow College’s Campuses and sphere of influence.

BASIC PLAN

Established: (Date)

I. PURPOSE 

  1. Purpose: The purpose of Emergency Preparedness at Snow College and this preparedness & operation plan is to provide an effective and efficient emergency management operation which will protect life and property and provide for recovery after a disaster impacting Snow College. This document, with its associated appendices, provides guidance and direction for Snow College organizations and personnel in the area of disaster mitigation, emergency preparedness, disaster response, and recovery operations. Specific purposes of this document include:
      1. Establishing responsibility for all phases of emergency management (mitigation, preparation, response and recovery) for the entire College community.
      2. Establishing an organizational structure for accomplishing emergency functions.
      3. Establishing an Emergency Incident Team (E.I.T.) with key individuals from critical College organizations, responsible for coordinating, through the means of an Emergency Operations Center (E.O.C.), the College’s response to disasters, and allocating Snow College scarce resources and recovery operations.
  2. Objectives: Specific objectives of the Snow College Emergency Preparedness Program are threefold:
      1. To save and protect lives.
      2. To protect property.
      3. To restore the college to full operations as quickly as possible after a disaster.
  3. Instructions: The instructions in this document apply to the entire College community. It is applicable for major emergencies or disasters which could affect significant portions of Snow College property or personnel (students, faculty, and staff). It does not address minor incidents which can be contained with minimum interference or disruption to normal academic and administrative activities. Potential emergencies and/or disasters are the primary concerns as listed in Section II-A.
  4. Conditions for activation: This plan will become effective:
      1. Automatically when a major incident significantly disrupts Snow College operations.
      2. Automatically when a State of Emergency for an area including Snow College has been declared by the Governor of the State of Utah.
      3. When the college president, his/her appointed representative, or the Chair of the E.I.T. directs implementation of the Snow College General Emergency Preparedness/Operation Plan.
      4. The plan will remain in effect until critical functions are restored.


II. POTENTIAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE 

  1. Potential Emergency Situations: During the operations of any unplanned events occur. These events cause disruption in the normal processes of the organization and interfere with achieving organizational goals and objectives. How fast the organization can be restored will be determined by the ability of members to recognize the emergency situation, prevent extensive damage to its property, and to operate under emergency conditions while restoring the organization’s critical functions. Snow College students and employees can possibly be affected by a number of natural and manmade disasters.
      1. The following disaster situations have been identified as possible occurrences that need to be evaluated and addressed in any Snow College emergency preparedness planning effort:
          1. Active Shooter.
          2. Bomb Threats/Terrorism. As the unrest of the bomb threats in the world increase, Snow College is no exception and could be a target of terrorist activities.
          3. Civil Disturbances
          4. Energy Failures. The interruption of either natural gas or electricity to the university for an extended period of time, particularly during the winter.
          5. Evacuations (mass). The potential for evacuations is relatively low, unless other major incidents occur.
          6. Hazardous Materials Incidents (spilled or exhausted into the air).
          7. Natural Disasters:
              1. Fires
              2. Floods
              3. Earthquakes
              4. Extreme Weather. Some effects of extreme weather are primary and others secondary, however, both could be devastating for large numbers of Snow College personnel.
          8. Transportation Accidents. Interstate 15 in Richfield and U. S. 89 in Ephraim are major transportation route carrying industrial and hazardous material cargo. The interstate runs directly west of the Snow College - Richfield and Snow College would be affected if there were an accident carrying such materials along that section of I-15. U.S. 89 runs between the two Snow College Ephraim Campuses and would be affected if there were an accident carrying such materials.
          9. War. (Conventional, Chemical, or Nuclear) The United States has been blessed by being able to fight most of its wars on foreign soil, but there is always the possibility that this could change. If so, Snow College could be directly affected.
      2. Outside organizations which can be expected to provide support to Snow College in the preparation and response to disasters include:
          1. The American Red Cross: Shelter management training, shelter operation emergencies or disasters, etc.
          2. Ephraim City: College stakes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the L.D.S. Institute and other local religious denominations may be called on for humanitarian assistance, mitigation, preparation, response and recovery efforts, victim accounting, and emergency manpower resources (Snow College Stakes).
          3. Richfield City: Stakes of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other religious denominations may be called on for humanitarian assistance, mitigation, preparation, response and recovery efforts, victim accounting, and emergency manpower resources.
          4. Ephraim City and Richfield City: All major fire fighting capability, response to major chemical spills, assistance in law enforcement operations which exceed Snow College Campus Police capability, etc.
          5. Sanpete County and Sevier County: Counties Disaster Plan.
          6. Bomb Squad Call for assistance from SLCPD or Utah County Sheriff Office
          7. S.W.A.T. (Utah State Prison Team /Utah County Team)
            The State of Utah: Training for Snow College’s Emergency manager and the support of the College Emergency Response Team program (CERT), exercise support, etc.
          8. National Guard.
          9. Utah Highway Patrol.
          10. F.E.M.A.: (Federal Emergency Management Agency).
  2. Response within the first 72 hours: During the first 72 hours after a major disaster, Snow College must be prepared to respond without assistance from outside agencies. For planning purposes, assume:
    1. Extensive damage to buildings has occurred.
    2. Telephones (including cellular phones) are inoperable.
    3. Mainframes, PC’s and other equipment are inoperable. The only assured computer support will be portable (laptop), battery-operated computers.
    4. Snow College offices (academic and administrative) are intact, but not accessible.
    5. Computer files and hard copy records are not accessible.
    6. Roads are impassable.
    7. Snow College must provide shelter for:
        1. All students from on-campus housing.
        2. Seventy-five percent of students (and families in the case of married or single parent students) from off-campus housing.
        3. Twenty-five percent of all employees and their families.
        4. All E.I.T. members and their families.
    8. The successful recovery of critical mission functions will be directly proportional to completion of essential mitigation and preparation efforts.
    9. The disaster with the most far-reaching effects would be a major earthquake. Therefore,
      preparations should be focused on this eventuality. If Snow College can be prepared for a major earthquake, Snow College can respond to any potential disaster of lesser impact.
    10. Snow College Dining Services contract requires them to maintains adequate food supplies to provide for the entire campus community for a minimum of 72-hours after a major disaster.
    11. This is not absolute. It provides guidance and procedures for recovery, but it is not a substitute for wise judgment, nor is it a set of rigid rules to be followed at any cost. Periodic testing of disaster plan effectiveness will be required. Proper training of Snow College personnel for disaster response will also be required.


III. ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES 

  1. Organization: The concept for disaster response is to follow the normal existing, day to- day functional structure for everyday operations as closely as possible. Response will be organized according to the principles of the Incident Command System (I.C.S.).
      1. As much as possible, Snow College entities will have the same responsibilities during disaster response that they would have under non-disaster situations. For example, Housing/Residence Life will be responsible for housing and sheltering, every day and during the disaster situations; Facilities Management will be responsible for providing utility service during day-to-day operations and under disaster conditions.
      2. The primary organizational structure change to meet disaster conditions will be the subordination of all College entities to the E.I.T., operating from the E.O.C. This is necessitated by the need to centralize and coordinate disaster response. This centralization ensures the most effective utilization of the scarce resources remaining after the impact of a major disaster.
      3. The E.I.T. will be organized along Incident Command Lines. A policy group will provide overall direction to responding staff and to support field responders. The remaining members of the E.I.T. will be organized into Operations Planning, Finance, and Logistics functions.
  2. Responsibility for Emergency Preparedness: The responsibility for emergency preparedness rests first with each individual. Employees and students must ensure that they and their families are prepared for disasters both at home and at Snow College. In the event of a disaster, the College will expect individuals to ensure the safety of their own families before attempting to assist Snow College with disaster response.
  3. Primary Responsibility: The primary responsibility for emergency preparedness at Snow College rests with the President of the College, and is based upon the assumption that personnel, assets and vital information can and should be protected.
      1. The President of Snow College has delegated the authority to coordinate the development of an emergency preparedness program to the Vice President of Student Success, who has delegated the responsibility to the Emergency Manager assigned to the Department of Public Safety.
      2. This delegation for coordination does not relieve Vice Presidents, Deans, Department Chairs and Directors, and other senior administrators throughout the College from their mitigation and preparation responsibilities.
      3. Under disaster conditions, the President of Snow College may delegate responsibility for directing the College’s response to the Vice President and/or key Staff members, acting in his/her capacity as the Chair of the E.I.T.
      4. The Snow College President or his Vice President designee has the sole authority to activate any “Emergency Alert/Warning” systems to any campuses affected by the emergency. In the Snow College President absents, this responsibility falls to the Vice President for Administrative Services, then to the Vice President for Academic Services, Then to the Vice President for Student Success. Once the decision to activate or issue a warning, key pre- selected staff members will send out the warning by way of cellular/text/computer systems and by the use of land based auditable alarm systems when in place
  4. Emergency Incident Team (E.I.T.): Snow College has established an E.I.T. with representatives from specified entities throughout the campus. Responsibilities for each organization, before and during a disaster, are as stated in Appendix-1. The following Snow College organizations will assign the indicated number of individuals to the E.I.T. and staff of the E.O.C. in the event of a major emergency or disaster:
      1. Vice President or Key member of his Staff (1) – Chair.
      2. Vice President for Academic (1).
      3. Vice President for Student Success (3).
      4. Vice President for Administrative Services (2).
      5. Director of Information Technology (1).
      6. Deans (4).
      7. Emergency Manager/Risk Manager (1).
      8. Director of Facilities & Maintenance (1).
      9. Director of the Wellness Center (1).
      10. Director of Residence Life/Housing (1).
      11. Snow College Police (1).
      12. Director of Purchasing (1).
      13. Director Public Relations (1).
      14. Fire Marshal (1).


IV. PRIORITIES OF OPERATIONS 

  1. Priorities:
      1. Life saving, Public Safety: Life saving and public safety functions have the highest priority. These functions directly prevent injury or the loss of life during an emergency or disaster and immediately after the event. See Appendix-2 for specific functions and organizations holding primary responsibilities.
      2. Second priority is life support functions. These functions are those necessary to sustain and support life during the response and recovery phases of a disaster. See Appendix-2 for specific functions and organizations holding primary responsibilities.
      3. Health and welfare functions have third priority. These functions provide appropriate assessments to establish aid requirements for the College, governmental organizations, and individuals. They also provide services and information which will assist victims and others through the recovery process. See Appendix-2 for specific functions and organizations holding primary responsibilities.
      4. Protection of property functions is the fourth priority. See Appendix-2 for specific functions and organizations holding primary responsibilities.
      5. Replacement of damaged property.
  2. Chain of Command:
    1. The President of Snow College has primary responsibility to protect life and property from the effects of hazardous events. The President has delegated authority to carry out this responsibility to the chair of the E.I.T., who has primary responsibility to direct management activities when multiple Snow College entities become involved in responding to disasters.
    2. This Emergency Preparedness/Operation Plan recognizes the concept that emergency functions for groups involved in emergency management generally parallel their normal day-to-day functions. To the extent possible, the same personnel and material resources will be employed in both cases. It is generally true, however, that a disaster is a situation in which the usual methods of operation will no longer suffice. It is desirable, and always attempted, to maintain organization continuity and to assign familiar tasks to personnel. In large scale disasters, however, it may be necessary to draw on individuals’ basic capacities and use them in areas of greatest need. Day-to-day functions that do not contribute directly to the emergency operation may be suspended for the duration of any emergency. Efforts that would normally be required of those functions will be redirected to accomplish emergency tasks.


V. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS 

Administration: During a disaster response, there are many administrative procedures and factions which should be suspended, relaxed, or made optional. These actions should however, be carefully considered and the consequences should be projected. This determination will be made by the chair, E.I.T., after consultation with members of the E.I.T.


VI. PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE 

Plan Development: This plan is the principal source of documentation for Snow College emergency management activities. The Snow College President or designate is the individual primarily responsible for the plan development and maintenance.

Maintenance of Plan: The Vice President or key Staff member (Chair, E.I.T.) is responsible for ensuring that appropriate College entities participate with the Emergency Manager/Risk Manager in the planning process.
