Emergency Evacuation Operations Plan SchoolofEnvironmentalandForestSciences
Anderson,BloedelandWinkenwerderHalls
2015 Introduction Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) developed this model Emergency Evacuation and
OperationsPlan(EEOP)toassistdepartmentsinpreparingforbuildingemergenciesasexpectedand
requiredbyUniversitypolicy,theSeattleFireCode,andtheWashingtonAdministrativeCode(WAC).
Thisplanisintendedforusebymultipledepartmentsandmaybecompletedasadepartmentalor
buildingevacuationplan.Forbuildingswhicharetallerthanfourstories(HighRiseBuildings),refer
toadditionalrequirementsinAppendixP.
Itisexpectedthatdepartmentswillcustomizeandcompletethisplantomeettheirspecificneeds,
operations,andlocations.Departmentsand/orcollegeswithmultiplebuildingsmaydevelopasingle
plan for their facilities, as long as building specific information for each facility is included in
AppendicesAthroughD.
Reviewanddialogamongmultipledepartmentswithinasinglebuildingand/orindividualfirezones
mustbepartoftheprocessofcompletingabuildingspecificEEOP.StafffromEH&Sareavailableto
providetechnicalassistance,includingreviewingafinaldraftofyourEEOP.
The model EEOP was written to complement and supplement the University of Washington All‐
HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan(EMP)forcampusoperationsduringlargescaleorcampus‐
wideemergencies.AcopyoftheUWEMPshouldbemaintainedinyourdepartment.Copiesofthe
campusplanareavailablefromtheOfficeofEmergencyManagementandonlineattheirwebsite.
ReviewingthecampusEMPmaybehelpfulwhilecompletingtheattachedEEOP.SeeAppendixJfor
moredetails.
Considerable effort has gone into trying to make this plan concise, clear, easy to use, and easy to
implement.Ifwecanbeoffurtherassistance,pleasecontactusat(206)543‐0465.

Purpose Thepurposeofthisplanistoestablishproceduresandduties,topromoteplanning,andtoestablish
stafftrainingforfire,earthquake,bombthreats,chemicalspillandotheremergencyevacuationsas
requiredbyChapter4oftheSeattleFireCode,theWashingtonAdministrativeCode(WAC296‐24‐
567),andtheUWAll‐HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan.
Scope ThisplanappliestoalloccupantsinAnderson,BloedelandWinkenwerderHallsasfollows:
This is only a partial list of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences buildings. UW Botanic
GardensandtheCenterofUrbanHorticulturehavetheirownEEOP,asdoourotherfacilitiesatPack
ForestinEatonville,Wash.,andtheOlympicNaturalResourcesCenterinForks,Wash.
Coordination With Other Emergency Plans An EEOP is a key component of Departmental Health and Safety Plans and University disaster
planning.TheEEOPmustbecoordinatedwiththefollowingemergency/safetyplans.
1. TheUWAll‐HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan:TheEMPprovidesthemanagement
structure, key responsibilities, emergency assignments, and general procedures to follow
during and immediately after an emergency. It provides a temporary crisis management
structure,whichprovidesfortheimmediatefocusofmanagementonresponseoperations
and the early transition to recovery operations. The EMP includes procedures for
communicating with the UW Emergency Operations Center as well as the management
structureoftheIncidentCommandSystem.
2. Other Departmental Emergency Response Plans: This departmental plan has been
coordinatedasnecessarywithotherdepartmentalplansinthebuildingasfollows:
Coordination with Departmental Health and Safety Plans TheEEOPreflectstheuniversity'semergencyresponseproceduresandprogramsandsatisfiesan
element of the Departmental Health and Safety Plan required by the Department of Labor and
Industries(WAC296‐24‐567).

phones,partoftheUW’sEmergencyCommunicationsSystem(ECS),arestrategicallylocated

2. FireAlarmSystem:Thebuildingfirealarmsystemiscontinuouslymonitoredforalarmby
a contracted service and, in a backup capacity, by the UWPD Communication Center. All
alarms result in an automatic response by Seattle Fire Department, UWPD, and Facilities
Services’FOMSunit.
Employee Orientation NewemployeesmustbeinformedoftheEEOPaspartoftheirnewemployeesafetyorientation.This
initialplanandallsignificantrevisionstotheplanshouldberoutedtoallpersonnel.Thefacultyand
staff should be reminded of the plan as necessary and encouraged to discuss the plan with their
researchgroups,students,andvisitors.Toassurethesafetyofallbuildingoccupants,theEvacuation
Director and Evacuation Wardens will work together to assure all departmental employees are
awareoftheplan,andthatstudentsandvisitorsarealsoorientedasindicatedinSection2.
Evacuation Drills Evacuationdrillswillbescheduled,conducted,andrecordedbytheEvacuationDirector.Procedures
for planning, scheduling, conducting, evaluating, recording, and reporting evacuation drills are

33 Appendix D EmergencyEvacuationforPersonswithDisabilities
Background Thisappendixprovidesageneralguidelineofevacuationproceduresforpersonswhosedisabilities
could make exiting difficult during building evacuations. Faculty, staff, students and visitors with
disabilities must develop their own facilities’ evacuation plans and identify their primary and
secondaryevacuationroutesfromeachbuildingtheyuse.

EvacuationDirectorsandEvacuationWardensneedtopre‐identifystaff,faculty,andstudentswith
disabilities and their locations. Determine their evacuation options, identify Areas of Refuge,
coordinate obtaining an Assisted Evacuation Device (as needed – see below), and determine how
theywillevacuatefromthebuilding.
Individuals are also encouraged to sign up for UW Alerts on the UWEM website. UW Alerts will
broadcast information electronically during crises or emergencies that may disrupt routine UW
campusoperations.
69 Evacuation Options for Persons with Disabilities Persons without disabilities must evacuate to the nearest exit. Persons with disabilities have five
basicevacuationoptions.

Horizontalevacuation:Usebuildingexitstotheoutsidegroundlevelorgointounaffected
wingsofmulti‐buildingcomplexes.

Stairwayevacuation:Usestepstoreachgroundlevelexitsfromthebuilding.

Stay in Place: Unless danger is imminent, remain in a room with an exterior window, a
telephone, and a solid or fire‐resistant door. With this approach, the person may keep in
contactwithemergency servicesby dialing911 andreportinghisorher locationdirectly.

Appendix J AbouttheUWAll‐HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan(EMP)
Background In June of 2005, the University of Washington published a revised comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (EMP) for campus operation during large scale or campus‐wide emergencies.
CopiesoftheEMPareavailableattheEmergencyManagementwebsitebelow:
http://www.washington.edu/emergency/ep
ThefollowingisasummaryoftheEMP.
The UW All‐Hazards Emergency Management Plan TheEMPprovidesguidelinesforthemanagementoftheimmediateactionsandoperationsrequired

theprotection oflives,liveassets, valuableresearchprocesses,property,thecommunity, andthe
environment.Theoverallobjectiveistorespondtoemergencyconditionsandmanagetheprocess
of restoring University academic and research programs and services. This plan represents the
Campus Emergency Management Plan, which encompasses the facilities, services and the
administrationoftheUWSeattlecampus.
Purpose of the Emergency Management Plan This plan provides the management structure, key responsibilities, emergency assignments, and
general procedures to follow during and immediately after an emergency. The University has
establishedthisplantoaddresstheimmediaterequirementsforamajordisasteroremergencyin

ItisimportanttopointoutthatthisEMPdoesnotcoverspecificdepartmentaloperations,evenfor
those departments assigned emergency response functions. All departments must establish their
ownemergencyoperationsplanthatconsiderstheirspecificneedsandhowtheywillinterfacewith
theUWEMP.
81 Appendix K EmergencyProceduresforFaculty,Lecturers,andTeachingAssistants

Environmental Health & Safety, a qualified asbestos consultant, or ATC‐20 earthquake
inspectionteams.

fireproofing above ceilings or plaster materials on walls/ceilings) that, depending upon the

93 Evacuation Director Post‐earthquake Checklist Complete this checklist following a mild earthquake. Evacuation Directors should use extreme
caution and care when surveying their building. If the answer is YES for those items which list
(Evacuate),thenevacuatethebuilding(unlessconditionsoutsidethebuildingaretoohazardousfor
evacuation and assembly). Notify UWPD at 9‐1‐1 (or by runner if the telephone system is not
working)toreportthebuildingevacuationandthereason(s)fortheevacuation.Thebuildingwill
remain evacuated until ATC‐20 structural assessment teams and/or Seattle Fire Department has
clearedthebuildingforre‐entry.
If the evacuation director checks YES on one of the items on the checklist that does not list an
(Evacuate) notation, then the evacuation of the building is at the discretion of the Evacuation
Director.Consideriftheobservedconditionsrepresentasafetyorhealthrisktoworkers,students,
