INCIDENT RESPONSE POLICIES 1. Lockdown2. Shelter in Place/Alternative Shelter 3. Evacuation 9. Lockdown A "Lockdown" is the temporary sheltering technique, e.g. 30 minutes to several hours, utilized to limit civilian exposure to an "Active Shooter" or similar incident. Occupants of any building within the subject area will lock all doors and windows, not allowing entry or exit to anyone until the All Clear has been sounded. This procedure converts any building into a large "Safe Room". 10. Initiation of a Lockdown 1. Risk Assessment 2. Decision 3. Order will be given to "Lockdown" either specific areas of campus, or the entire campus. 4. Official Notice over the Nixle system, as well as any other appropriate, supplementary means of communication. 11. Alternative Shelter Persons out-of-doors should seek immediate cover and concealment by using trees, mailboxes, walls, vehicles, fire hydrants or trash cans, etc. Persons should then await instructions, given via public address or Nixle, concerning movement to an alternative shelter, or shelter-in-place. 12. Shelter - in - Place Shelter-in-Place is an emergency procedure for people affected by a chemical accident, chemical attack, or other contaminated environment situations. Immediate shelter in a readily accessible location, such as a small room, sealing it from outside contaminants, and shutting off all HVAC systems.Depending on the exact situation, everyone within a specific distance of the incident may be ordered to shelterin-place. People within a closer range may be ordered to evacuate while everyone else shelters in place. Sheltering-in-place generally is used only for a short period of time. 13. Evacuation In the event of a campus emergency that may require evacuation, an assessment will be made about the severity of the situation and appropriate next steps. If the situation is deemed an evacuation emergency, orders will be given to initiate the building evacuation process. 14. Evacuation (continued) Students, faculty and staff exit buildings according to established evacuation policy as conducted in campus practice drills. Persons wait at the designated meeting location (for short-term evacuations) for further instructions and directions. 15. Evacuation Training Students Initial Residence Hall meetings evacuation drills educational sessions throughout the year.Faculty and staff campus evacuation drills educational sessions (Community Day) published information distributed throughout the year. 16.
