  2. This is an Interactive Session • Goal: to develop a strategy for a campus emergency plan at your campus • Use the Post-Its to note points that are important to an emergency plan for your campus • At the beginning of the interactive portion, put your notes on the appropriate sheet: categories are stakeholders, resources, critical issue within one of the functions • Notes will be reviewed, turned into guide sheet; sign in to get an e-mail with the guide sheet information

  3. What Are ICS, NIMS and SEMS?

  4. Caltrans Incident Command System (ICS)- In the Field! • 1970’s origin, developed by FIRESCOPE • Common Terminology: tanker/tender • Five Function Command Structure • Expandable Organization: flexible, hierarchical, span of control • 1:3-1:7; ideal 1:5 • Management by Objective • Resource Management Graphic of transportation worker

  5. ICS Primary Functions Organization chart showing the five functions of ICS

  6. The Five Functions • Command: overall tactical control • Operations: on-scene tactical management • Planning/Intel: Maps, sit stat, resource tracking, check-in/out • Logistics: support –food, supplies, contracts • Finance/Admin: track OT, expenses

  7. Why NIMS was developed… The success of ICS on 9/11 at the Pentagon Response Pointed To Need For National Incident Management System Emergencies/Disasters/Catastrophes Are Unpredictable Responders Need To Be Able To Work/ Communicate Together Before 9/11 No Comprehensive Standards For National Response – ICS Fire Service only, and not nationwide Provides Standards For Domestic Incident Response Photo of transportation workers at the World Trade Center after 9/11

  8. California’s Standardized Emergency Management System • 1991 Eastbay Hills Firestorm • Petris Bill; Govt. Code 8607 • Brings ICS indoors, now a jurisdiction-wide focus, policy and coordination • Directed by CalEMA Four photos of the smoke and fire and emergency responders in the East Bay Hills Firestorm

  9. Management Operations Planning/ Intelligence Logistics Finance/ Administration SEMS 5 Functions Organization chart of the five functions of SEMS

  10. The Five Functions • Management: strategic, jurisdiction-wide, coordination • Operations: coordinates with field • Planning/Intelligence: maps, sit stat, RIMS, Recovery • Logistics: supports field and EOC • Finance/Admin: financial tracking for reimbursement through insurance, government • FEMA = 75%, state= 25%

  11. College EOC • ICS/NIMS/SEMS compliant annexes available in Word format at http://www.transweb.sjsu.edu/MTIportal/research/publications/appendix-09.html • Campus EOCs can customize the annexes for each campus

  12. Campus Emergency Plans • Unique campus challenges: • Young adults on their own for the first time • University is contractually responsible for care and shelter for residential students • Disability community • Concentrated population • Few internal responders Two photos of San Jose State University

  13. Campus Emergency Plans • Specialized campus challenges: • Student housing • Student commuters • Faculty knowledge of response, cooperation • Unionized employees, no obligation to stay • Hazardous materials/labs • Utilities- internal water, power? • Not a tax payer, so not a community priority • Neighborhood expectations- shelter? • Note problems in Haiti with getting the school grounds back

  14. Campus Emergency Plans • Specialized campus resources: • Campus transportation resources • Campus repair/facilities • Campus medical, nursing students, clinic • Campus buildings – are they safe? • Campus feeding facilities • Campus open spaces/fields Photo of bus on San Jose State campus

  15. Campus Emergency Plans • Essential campus emergency measures: • Coordinate with student and faculty groups, parents, local officials • Inventory campus resources and consider creative application, e.g., busses as shelters, ambulances for “greens” in mass casualty events • Housing students, stay or go home • Feeding capacity • Neighbors, especially in urban settings
