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
IV.
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.
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.
and
b.
c.
d.
To establish the capabilities for protecting employees, students,
visitors to the campus from the effects of crisis/disasters.
To respond effectively to an actual occurrence of a crisis/disaster.
To provide for recovery in the aftermath of a crisis/disaster.
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.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
You can try to hide, but make sure it is well hidden.
If you think you can make it to safety out of the area
by running, then do so.
If you decide to run, do not run in a straight line,
zigzag. Use cover such as desks, cabinets, etc.
If you feel you are unable to run or hide, you may
choose to play dead if other victims are around you.
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.
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.
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.
