1. OPERATIVE PART

1.1 Internal notification and mobilisation

1.1.1 Implement internal notification

Emergencies shall be notified internally to NHH's duty telephone. These messages shall be logged both by

the duty telephone and the Director of Preparedness. NHH's duty telephone is staffed during weekdays

from 07.00 – 22.00, Saturdays from 07.00 – 16.00 and Sundays from 10.00 – 13.00. Outside of these hours,

the emergency services must be contacted should an emergency arise.

Fig. 2.1. Notification chart

1.1.2 Fixed meeting point for preparedness leadership

Primary meeting point: Meeting room by the Director's office, 1st floor

Alternative meeting point: Meeting room in the Section for IT Services, 2nd floor of Nybygget.

External meeting point: Reading room at Hatleberg, as of the autumn of 2016

Equipment list for the preparedness rooms: see Appendix 13. Equipment list preparedness room

1.1.3 Clarify the level of preparedness required and the gathering of the preparedness

leadership

The Director of Preparedness decides on an heightened level of preparedness based on the notification from

the duty telephone.

It can be difficult to know whether an undesired incident will develop into a crisis in which it may be

necessary to implement the preparedness plan, but DSHA incidents may include:

Major fire/explosion on Campus with mass evacuation

Major fire/explosion outside of Campus

Major accident abroad that impacts staff and students

Threats / malicious acts / terrorism / hostage-taking

Serious physical injury / mental illness or death of student, staff or guest

Loss of critical infrastructure

Contagion among staff, students – pandemic/epidemic

Sexual violence or assault

Incidents that may harm NHH's reputation

Also see the report from NHH's general risk and vulnerability analysis. This report is available from the

HSE coordinator

1.2 Level of preparedness Preparedness at the School is divided into the following levels:

Ordinary operations Yellow preparedness Red preparedness

Increased monitoring and special

follow-up

NHH's preparedness leadership

is mobilised

1.2.1 Ordinary operations

This level covers daily operations with ordinary resources available at NHH. Disruptions are handled

through the normal organisation. The normal organisation handles the situation, but the Director of

Preparedness is informed if disruptions may entail increased risk.

1.2.2 Yellow preparedness (expanded preparedness)

Yellow preparedness can be implemented for

Planned events at NHH where the risk of undesired incidents has been assessed to be higher than

normal.

Page 6: Emergency Preparedness Plan · 1.4.1 Communication principles The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during crises. The

4

In the event of sudden incidents that entail increased monitoring, the duty telephone shall be contacted.

The duty telephone notifies the Director of Preparedness, who decides whether yellow preparedness

shall be implemented.

Yellow preparedness entails increased monitoring, and an assessment must be made of whether extra

resources shall be added or other actions taken. The follow-up is handled by the section/department in

question.

1.2.3 Red preparedness (full preparedness)

NHH's duty telephone (55 95 98 88) shall be contacted in the event of sudden incidents that have entailed

or may entail

the loss of life or serious personal injury

a risk of significant environmental damage

major material damage

NHH's duty telephone is staffed during weekdays from 07.00 – 22.00, Saturdays from 07.00 – 16.00 and

Sundays from 10.00 – 13.00. Outside of these hours, the emergency services must be contacted should an

emergency arise.

The person on call notifies NHH's Director of Preparedness or their deputy,

who implements "red preparedness" and mobilises the preparedness

leadership.

Rector and the Ministry of Education and Research (if applicable) shall be

informed.

1.3 Staff methods

1.3.1 First meeting

The meeting is chaired by the Director of Preparedness. If necessary, someone is designated to write on the

board. The purpose of the first meeting is to establish an overview of facts about the incident, and to assess

potential developments and consequences. The first meeting should not last longer than 30-45 minutes and

must have a clear beginning and end. At the end, the Director of Preparedness shall determine the focus for

the further handling of the incident.

See Appendix 2. Board for First meeting

1.3.2 Plan

When the preparedness leadership is gathered and has its first meeting during a crisis, a plan must be

created for handling the incident. This plan is created by using a board during the first meeting, answering

the questions asked there and deciding on the worst-case scenario for the incident.

Page 7: Emergency Preparedness Plan · 1.4.1 Communication principles The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during crises. The

5

The boards are projected on a large screen so that everyone in the preparedness room can see them.

Alternatively, they may be projected onto a white board and be filled in directly by the person designated to

write on the board.

1.3.3 Focus areas and actions

The focus areas are determined by the Director of Preparedness and describe the main areas that all

measures and actions must be directed towards until such a time that they are changed. Proactive actions

(measures) are identified based on the focus areas to handle or prevent the further development of the

incident.

See Appendix 5. Board for focus areas

1.3.4 Situation plot

Along with the operations board, the situation plot is to ensure that we have the big picture in terms of the

incident, the personnel, resources, location involved and milestones. The situation plot is to describe the

here-and-now situation and shall be up to date at all times. The plot should be seen as a "mind map" that

can be used during status meetings to summarise the big picture. Maps or similar tools can be used to

illustrate positions, distances, etc.

See Appendix 4. Situation plot

1.3.5 Status meetings

Status meetings are held at a frequency tailored to the development of the incident. The purpose of the

status meetings is to calibrate the preparedness leadership and ensure a shared situational awareness. The

meetings are chaired by the Director of Preparedness and should not last longer

than 30 minutes. The meetings must have a clear beginning and end. At the

end, the Director of Preparedness shall determine the focus for the further

handling of the incident. The focus areas may change as the incident develops.

In the status meetings, the Director of Preparedness gets information about the

status from the individual participants in the preparedness leadership. The

situation plot can be used to summarise the status.

The Director of Preparedness then decides on any new focus areas the preparedness leadership is to work

on in the short and long term. Proactive actions (measures) are identified based on the focus areas to handle

or prevent the further development of the incident.

See Appendix 5. Board for focus areas

1.4 Information and communication

1.4.1 Communication principles

The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during

crises. The Head of Communications is responsible for crisis communication and information preparedness

at NHH and assists with updated information, facilitation for media and dissemination of internal and

external information. All external communications from the School are based on the following principles:

Be open and accessible

All information shall be truthful and correct

Avoid speculations

Disseminate the message in the right order

o Care and concern for people

o Environment

o Materials

All external communication shall be coordinated and coherent

All external communication shall be quality assured by the Head of Communications.

The message for the specific incident must be clarified and coordinated by the Rector, Director of

Preparedness and Head of Communications in collaboration.

The Rector, Managing Director or Head of Communications are the spokespersons for NHH. NHH should

only have one public face for an incident. If the heads of the sections or departments involved are permitted

to make statements to the media etc., this must be based on premises agreed upon in collaboration with the

Director of Preparedness and the Head of Communications.

1.4.2 Information sharing during crisis management

Everyone involved in the crisis management – employees and leaders – have a shared responsibility to help

ensure that information is shared effectively and well

within the preparedness leadership

between the preparedness leadership, sections and departments

with other actors involved in handling the incident

The information sharing shall be proactive and be based on an expanded need to know principle.

The preparedness leadership is responsible for assessing and determining who needs the information and

for what purpose.

In replying to emails etc. that are copied to multiple people, an assessment must be made of whether the

others copied need the reply. Avoid spamming.

The information that is shared shall:

Page 9: Emergency Preparedness Plan · 1.4.1 Communication principles The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during crises. The

7

help those who work on handling the incident (internally)

contribute to a sound foundation for carrying out tasks

contribute to collaboration and coordinated efforts

contribute to clear divisions of responsibility within NHH

contribute to no "grey areas" arising in the handling of the situation

1.4.3 Communication channels

NHH's prioritised channels for crisis communication:

External channels:

Nhh.no Nhh.no is NHH's main channel. All official

information shall be published on nhh.no. A

separate crisis website with all the information

can be created as necessary.

A separate action card for

the web editor has been

prepared.

Social media

(Twitter, Facebook)

Social media shall be used to quickly reach the

general public with important messages, and

to correct any errors and elaborate on facts.

NHH prioritises Twitter and Facebook, in this

order.

A separate action card for

social media has been

prepared.

Media NHH shall be proactive and open in the

contact with the media. A close follow-up of

the media in the introductory phase helps form

trust and ensures that NHH is perceived as a

reliable source of information.

When practically possible, information shall

be provided at fixed, common times for which

advance notice is given. All media contact

shall be logged, to the extent possible.

A separate action card for

media contact has been

prepared.

Switchboard/frontline Shall pass on enquiries to the preparedness

leadership, communications staff or the next

of kin hotline. Shall not provide information

about the undesired incident, but shall refer to

the information from the entity that owns the

incident (usually the police) or at nhh.no.

See instructions in

Appendix 9.

Internal channels

SMS alerts Shall be used for active and direct information

for students and staff.

The Head of Studies is

responsible for notifications

via FS. The Director of HR

/ Head of Section for

Finance and Accounting is

responsible for notifications

for staff.

Page 10: Emergency Preparedness Plan · 1.4.1 Communication principles The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during crises. The

Internal website Shall be used as a supplement to NHH.no and

can contain information that elaborates and is

internally directed to staff.

A separate action card for

internal communication has

been prepared.

Itslearning Shall be used as a supplement to NHH.no and

can contain information that elaborates and is

internally directed to students.

The Head of Studies is

responsible for

Should the communications

staff be supplemented by

one or more persons from

the Office of Student and

Academic Affairs?

Email Can be used if there is a need for shared

information to everyone or groups of staff and

students, for the NHH Board and other

important internal interested parties. Must be

used with caution.

A separate action card for

internal communication has

been prepared.

Meetings Can be used if there is a need for direct and

simultaneous information for everyone or for

groups of staff and students.

1.5 Psychosocial care Psychosocial care is an important part of the School's handing of both major accidents and smaller crises.

Being cared for well shall help reduce the aftereffect of a serious incident. At the same time, psychosocial

follow-up and care is a central part of the normalisation after a preparedness incident for the staff and

students involved.

NHH's actions are based on the following assumption:

Bergen municipality is responsible for caring for everyone present in the municipality. The municipal

system for psychosocial care will be implemented in the event of accidents, crises and catastrophes at

NHH that involve students, staff and visitors.

The police lead the response to accidents and catastrophes, and will determine the actions that are to be

implemented.

The preparedness leadership at NHH establishes contact early on with the police and the municipal

crisis team to offer its assistance.

The preparedness leadership is the decision-making body for NHH's efforts within psychosocial care.

The follow up of and responsibility for caring for staff and students during and after a crisis lies with the

person responsible for HR in collaboration with the section or department involved.

Actions, responsibilities and roles within the psychosocial care for NHH students and staff after serious

incidents:

A gathering point for the affected persons after incidents (in the event of deaths, persons missing, other

significant burdens) – if needed, NHH can open for informal gatherings for smaller incidents, or

possibly as part of the care provided for major incidents. Personnel with competency in psychosocial

care will provide the contents of the gatherings (student chaplain, crisis psychologist, the municipal

crisis team, etc.).

Page 11: Emergency Preparedness Plan · 1.4.1 Communication principles The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during crises. The

9

Next of kin hotline: the police are responsible for establishing and operating this service, but NHH

must anticipate an increased number of enquiries by telephone and staff its switchboard and provide the

frontline service with cleared information that can be communicated by telephone and refer next of kin

to the police's next of kin hotline.

Reception centre/centre for evacuees and next of kin: the police is responsible for establishing and

operating such a service, but may ask NHH to obtain the premises, food and drink and personnel to

supplement the police and the municipal crisis team.

Memorial: NHH organises a memorial service in the event of deaths that affect students and staff

particularly.

Follow-up of emergency responders:

o Establish a breakroom for staff (with a place to rest, telephone, food, etc.) who are involved in the

crisis management.

o Defusings

o Collegial support

o Debriefing

As soon as possible after the end of the preparedness situation, the preparedness leadership and all other

emergency responders (switchboard, communications staff, resources in psychosocial care) shall participate

in a summary and status meeting. The meeting is chaired by the Director of Preparedness. The most

important aspects of the course of the incident, experiences, etc. shall be reviewed, systematised and

clarified for a possible further follow-up and competence development. The need for debriefings and other

follow-up in the aftermath must also be identified and provided.

Also see Appendix 10. Checklist for accidents/deaths among staff, students and guests.

1.6 Normalisation The handling of emergencies shall not make NHH unable to perform its normal operations longer than

necessary. An incident will be handled by dedicated personnel and a larger or smaller part of the

organisation will seemingly be unaffected and able to continue regular activities.

A plan for how NHH is to return to normal operations as soon as possible is needed. In addition to moving

the organisation back to normal operations, the normalisation will also include follow-up of the persons

affected and an evaluation of the incident.

A brief description of some of the central elements in a normalisation phase is provided below. Several

measures and further details will depend on the scope and character of the incident, among other things.

1.6.1 Demobilising personnel

When a crisis has been prevented or is under control, the demobilisation of personnel starts. The message

about a transition to normal operations must follow the same route as the notification of the crisis. A

gradual demobilisation will often be natural. The preparedness leadership gathers, prepares a plan for

follow-up and distributes tasks.

Page 12: Emergency Preparedness Plan · 1.4.1 Communication principles The Director of Preparedness has the overarching responsibility for information and communication during crises. The

10

1.6.2 Follow-up of staff and students

Depending on the seriousness of the incident, those affected shall be given information and/or follow-up in

the aftermath. The need for and type of follow-up will vary depending on the seriousness of the incident

and the type of stress the person(s) was subjected to.

The preparedness leadership decides on any measures related to the further follow-up of the affected

persons and designs a follow-up plan based on these. Information about the follow-up must be

communicated to those affected who are offered follow-up and to the staff members responsible for follow-

up.

Immediate supervisors are responsible for following up on their staff in terms of any long-term effects and

report these to the Office of Human Resources for further follow-up.

1.7 Evaluation A crisis or something that might have become a crisis is an important source of new learning; an

opportunity for developing risk awareness and risk comprehension. The preparedness leadership initiates

an evaluation meeting and an evaluation report shall be prepared after the incident.

To the degree that that close partners or the rescue services were involved in the crisis management, the

preparedness leadership should consider inviting these to the evaluation meeting.

The meeting may be divided in two: one internal part and one that includes external parties.

Some key words for questions for an evaluation:

How were the tasks solved?

Were the priorities right?

How was the handling managed?

Were those involved able to make strategic decisions?

Were the decisions clear and appropriate?

Was there a clear division of roles and responsibilities in the preparedness leadership?

To what degree were the leadership and responders able to be future-oriented in terms of the

development of the incident?

Was the Preparedness Plan followed? If not, why not?

Does this evaluation trigger a need for changes to the Preparedness Plan or changes in the training?

What are the points of improvement?

Is there a need to further investigate the handling of the incident?

The plans shall be revised as needed and in line with the findings of the evaluation.

The evaluation shall be documented in a written report. The report shall summarise the incident and NHH's

handing and the findings of the evaluation. The Director of Preparedness is responsible for ensuring that

the reporting is done. The contents of the report shall be disseminated internally and to the external parties

affected and involved. The evaluation report shall be submitted to the Board. Additionally, NHH should

generally pass on what it has learned from the incident to the Ministry of Education and Research and the

Norwegian Association of Higher Education Institutions.

2. ENCLOSURES:

Appendix 1. Role-based action cards

Action cards have been prepared for the most central roles in the emergency response organisation. These

are generic action cards, which means that they are not dependent on the situation at hand and shall be used

in any undesired incident in which the preparedness plan is implemented; see the Defined Situation of

Hazard and Accident (DSHA) in the risk and vulnerability analysis from 2014.

The action cards are envisioned used in the first, introductory phase (about 1-5 hours) of handling an

undesired incident. This is to ensure that the preparedness leadership gets going quickly in handling the

situation and is ahead of developments.

Regardless of the type of incident that occurs, it will usually be hectic in the acute phase.

Thereafter, the development and dynamics of the incident will vary depending on the type of

incident, and this will help determine where the focus must be and which tasks must be

handled immediately. At the same time, the preparedness leadership will by then have

formed a more holistic picture of the situation and have held its first meeting.

Action cards have been prepared for the following preparedness leadership roles

Director of Preparedness

Director of HR

Director of Studies

Communications director

student must have access to the same information the tour leader has (the list above) as well as

important telephone numbers at the destination:

Travel organised by NHHS

For all student excursions organised by NHHS, a tour leader shall be appointed as the person in

charge of the group. The tour leader is the group's contact person for NHH and NHHS.

For larger excursions with more than 20 persons, an on-duty person shall also be appointed for

each day of the excursion. If there are more than 40 participants, an on-duty assistant shall also be

appointed. The person on duty is in charge at the site and has the final word should a critical

situation arise. The person who is on duty and their assistant shall not use intoxicants while on

duty.
