PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Emergency Plan is to provide procedures/guidelines for responding to
various natural and man-caused emergencies at Kauai Community College. This plan is
to be implemented whenever an emergency affecting the campus reaches proportions that
cannot be handled by routine measures. The Chancellor, or her/his designee may declare
a state of emergency and implement this Emergency Plan.
DEFINITION OF EMERGENCIES:
Minor Emergency: Any incident, potential or actual, which will not seriously affect
the functional capacity of the college. Report immediately to the Director of
Administrative Services (Safety Officer) at 245-8230 (campus extension 230.
Major Emergency: Any incident, potential or actual, which affects an entire
building(s) and disrupts the overall operations of the college. Mass casualties and severe
property damage may be sustained and a coordinated effort of all campus-wide resources
is required to effectively control the situation. Outside emergency resources may be
essential. Call emergency 9911 (9 for outside line). Notify the Chancellor who will
activate the college's Emergency Operations Center and the Emergency Response Team
as needed. All campus personnel will be notified through the emergency Alert Roster.
