Hazard Mitigation & Security Assessment 2013
• Two Components – Security Vulnerability Assessment – Campus Hazard Mitigation Plan
Security Vulnerability Assessment
• Evaluator’s premise: an effective program requires an understanding of risks and the balancing of four elements – Use of technology – Policies, procedures and processes – Professional management & staffing; and – Campus-wide training and participation
Security Vulnerability Assessment
• Major Findings/Recommendations – The relationship between law enforcement agencies, the
College, the City of Williamsburg and the security force at Colonial Williamsburg is exceptional
– William & Mary Police Department has a respected role in the campus community
– There appears to be a genuine feeling that members of the community are “immune from crime while on the campus”
– Lighting and emergency phones are noted as an area of future focus
– Give serious consideration to strengthening the design standard for securing classrooms
Security Vulnerability Assessment • Major Findings/Recommendations
– Enhance security technologies – Strengthen card access policy
• VIMS – Alarm and camera monitoring program – Additional card access – Motion sensors – Gates
• DC Office – Crime prevention presentations – Opt in to DC emergency notification alerts
Campus Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Williamsburg campus is not prone to exceptional natural events, negating the need for complex and costly mitigation efforts
• Potential storm damage can be mitigated by enhancing such programs as tree trimming, storm water management, and roof maintenance and leak prevention and repair
• Efforts should focus on – projects that address maintenance issues, and – plans that provide for the continuation and or restoration of
activities on campus
