Bomb Threat<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n

If any kind of threatening telephone call is received by faculty or staff personnel (bomb threat, etc.) the procedure below should be followed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do not take the message yourself unless absolutely necessary. Transfer the call to any of the following College personnel during normal daytime hours: President, Vice President, Curriculum & Instruction, Vice President, Student Services, Vice President, Finance & Administration, Facilities & Grounds Director, Human Resources Director. During evening hours when classes are in session, contact: Evening Supervisor<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If you must take a threatening message attempt to get specific information. If you receive a bomb threat by phone, try to ascertain the following information and write it down:
    1. The time the call was received.<\/li>
    2. The time the caller hung up.<\/li>
    3. Did the call initiate within or outside the college.<\/li>
    4. Description of the caller such as sex, accent, age, name.<\/li>
    5. Background noises.<\/li>
    6. Exact words used by the caller.<\/li><\/ol> Ask the caller:\n
        \n
      1. Where is the bomb right now?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. What kind of explosive was used: TNT, black powder?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. How will the device go off: clock, heat?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. What time will the threat be carried out?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. What does the bomb look like?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Why did they place the bomb?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Relay all of this information to the administrator you reach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Building Evacuations<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
        \n

        Diagrams showing the route for evacuating campus buildings for any reason are framed and posted in every room on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Evacuating students with disabilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Generally, faculty will be informed in advance when students with special needs are enrolled in a class, but there is no guarantee that all of a student\u2019s needs have been identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The instructor should discuss disabilities with the student in relation to the specific course and make plans accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Visually impaired persons will usually be familiar with the immediate classroom area. In the event of an emergency, the visually impaired person may need assistance. The instructor may wish to serve as a sighted guide or assign another student to assist while the instructor oversees orderly evacuation. The preferred method of assistance is offering the elbow and escorting the visually impaired individual. As the guide is walking, inform the person with disabilities where you are and advise them of obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When you reach the destination, tell the person where you are and ask if further assistance is needed. Do not forget that at the end of the emergency, this person will again need assistance to return to the classroom or newly designated area. Instructors assigning this service to another student should be sure to instruct the guide in these precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Hearing impaired persons \u2013 Visual alarms (flashing lights) have been installed throughout the campus to notify persons with hearing disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Non-ambulatory persons are usually able to exit safely, without assistance, from the ground floor. Some have minimal ability to move and lifting them may actually be dangerous to their well-being. Because non-ambulatory persons\u2019 needs and preferences will vary, always consult the person regarding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Ways of being removed from the wheelchair<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Number of people necessary for assistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Whether to bend or extend the extremities when lifting because of pain, catheter, spasticity, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Being carried backward or forward down stairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • After-care if removed from a wheelchair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          The instructor may choose to determine answers at the beginning of a term so that the information is readily available in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Things to remember about wheelchairs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • They may have movable or weak parts which are not built to withstand the stress of lifting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Remove batteries from an electric wheelchair before attempting to transport it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If a seat belt is available and evacuation is by chair, secure the person to the chair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If the chair must be left behind, be sure it does not block or obstruct doorways, stairs or passageways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                          Crisis Communications<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
                          \n

                          A crisis communications plan is intended to ensure that, in the event of a crisis, disaster, or emergency related to the college, information about the crisis and the action being taken is disseminated appropriately, accurately, and clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Generally, an issue requiring the use of this plan will fall into one of two categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Emergency:<\/strong> Any situation that may involve or threaten to cause loss of life or injury to employees or students. Examples: fires, explosions, accidents, tornado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Non-Emergency:<\/strong> Any situation that threatens the reputation or stature of the college, poses legal ramifications, but does not pose a direct physical threat to employees, students, or property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Both types of crises will make news. Whether a crisis is deemed an emergency or non-emergency does not necessarily reflect on the gravity of the situation, particularly in terms of long-term consequences. Two examples may illustrate this point. A brush fire quickly brought under control would be deemed an emergency, but probably not escalate to a crisis. However, a pending legal action or damaging news article\/report would not be an emergency in terms of threatening life or limb, but may present a situation that the college needs to address as a crisis nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In all cases, the college needs to provide full disclosure of factual information as quickly as possible, communicate instructions if necessary, and make decisions with full regard to individual privacy and legal responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          This document deals specifically with crisis communication. It is intended to coincide with the Contingency Operations Plan outlined elsewhere in this manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          This portion of the plan does not address operational issues such as providing first aid or sustained mass care. Those procedures and areas of responsibility are outlined in the Contingency Operations Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Communications Procedures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In case of an emergency, first priority should be given to notifying appropriate emergency response agencies, specifically police, fire, or ambulance departments. Procedures can be found under sections II and III of this manual, and contact information on page ii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          To the extent possible, the following information should be gathered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          1. Nature and location of emergency\/disaster<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          2. Whether persons have been injured<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          3. Extent of property damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          4. Disaster potential<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            In the case of a non-emergency, where emergency response agencies are not involved, the president\u2019s office should be notified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Communications Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            In the event of a disaster or natural emergency, the operations team outlined in section II of this manual also will have responsibility for communication. In the event of a situation that does not require the implementation of the contingency operations plan, the following individuals comprise the Crisis Communications Team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \n

                              When it is deemed necessary to convene the crisis communications team, the board of trustees also shall be notified and apprised of the situation at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Policy decisions and administrative action are functions of the president and vice presidents. Other members of the crisis communications team serve primarily in operational roles to implement the decisions made, as well as to provide advice as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Command\/Communications Center<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The boardroom on the second floor of Buescher Hall will serve as the meeting room\/command center for the crisis communications team. An alternative meeting site may be designated if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The command center will include the following materials, which shall be maintained by public relations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \n

                              • Media contact list<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                If necessary, a separate communications center will be established by the facilities and grounds director, information technology director, and imaging services coordinator. The center will be located in Imaging Services on the lower level of the Multipurpose Building, due to existing telephones (4), copiers (2), computers, and access to additional equipment and the television control room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Spokesperson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                The college president will serve as the sole spokesperson for the college, unless and until this responsibility is otherwise assigned. Questions and inquiries from the media and others shall be referred to Public Relations, who will notify the president or designated spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                An updated list of media contacts is maintained by the Public Relations office. If appropriate, a news conference or teleconference may be called to disseminate information to the media or answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                At the direction of the president or the administrator in charge, the public relations director will draft the position paper which will be distributed to other members of the crisis communications team. This paper, and any relevant collateral material, will serve as the primary reference document for the team. The position paper will include the date and time issued, so as to ensure proper use as updates occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                News Releases\/Notification of Media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                The public relations director shall draft and distribute news releases and, if appropriate, photographs, to the media. Notification of the media shall also be the responsibility of the public relations director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                College policy (3.12), in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1973 (FERPA), provides for the following directory information to be released about students: student name, parent\u2019s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, most recent previous school attended. The college may disclose any of these items without prior written consent, unless notified in writing to the contrary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                College policy (1.8) and Missouri state law (RSMo. 610.021) states that employment personnel and performance records or rating which pertain to identifiable individuals are closed records, except for the following information which may be released: name, position, salary, and length of service of officers and employees of the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Cable Television<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                The college\u2019s cable access television channel may prove useful in the disseminating to the public information regarding the crisis. The media services coordinator and public relations director will be responsible for using the system, if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Web Page<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                If necessary to utilize the college web page for dissemination of information, the information technology director will be responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Personnel Notification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                As it becomes necessary to notify other college personnel, each vice president shall be responsible for notification procedures for his or her division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Student Notification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Notification to students shall be primarily carried out through public channels such as local media, cable television, and the college web page. Individual notification shall be carried out as necessary, as determined by the crisis communications team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Minutes of the crisis communications team meetings shall be kept by the executive assistant to the president, unless otherwise directed by the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Canceling Classes\/Closing the College<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                If the nature of the crisis is such that it becomes necessary to cancel classes or close the college, procedures used will be the same as those for inclement weather (Section XI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                Following a situation in which the crisis communications team has been convened, the president shall reconvene the team within two weeks of the close of the crisis, in order to evaluate the situation, actions taken, and effectiveness of the Crisis Communications Plan. The following will be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \n
                                • How and if the crisis could have been prevented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • What, if anything, should be done differently under similar circumstances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Strengths and weaknesses of the Crisis Communication Plan in this situation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                  \n

                                  Earthquakes do not have warning signs so all activity is in response to occurrence. The following procedures are meant to minimize the chance of bodily injury if an earthquake does occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  When the earthquake begins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                    \n
                                  • Stay where you are. Assess the situation. Most injuries occur when people are leaving or entering buildings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • Keep calm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • Do not evacuate the building as long as tremors are occurring constantly. When the tremors cease, or several minutes elapse between the shocks, evacuate using the fire plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                    Indoor protection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \n
                                    • Take cover under desks, tables or other heavy furniture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Stand in interior doorway frames or narrow halls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Stay away from windows and exterior walls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Beware of falling objects like pictures and bookshelves and their contents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    • Do not stand under light fixtures or other suspended objects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                      Protection outdoors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                        \n
                                      • Move away from buildings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Avoid utility poles, overhead wires, and tall trees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Do not go to the parking lots where there are numerous heavy light poles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • Do not forget the danger from brick, masonry chips, and building facades as their movement will seem erratic as they fall because the earth is moving. As soon as conditions permit, assemble in the large athletic field areas which are open and provide the safest retreat for possible aftershocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                        After the earthquake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \n
                                        • Do not light fires or smoke in the event of leaking gas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • Do not touch fallen electrical wires. Move away from all electrical wires; if they are energized or re-energized, they may move about in a whip-like fashion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                        • Do not enter buildings until they have been checked for structural damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                          Remember that the problems are so varied and unpredictable that absolute plans are impossible. On the spot decisions will be necessary, and close attention and adherence should be given to emergency and police officials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                          The following are steps to minimize damage or loss of life and property and ensure an orderly evacuation of buildings. While these guidelines are specific for fire situations, they should be reviewed in light of any evacuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                            \n
                                          1. Evacuation for any reason other than immediate life safety hazards shall be initiated by the senior administrator on campus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                          2. Anyone having evidence of or seeing a fire should go to the nearest fire alarm pull station and activate the alarm or find the nearest phone and dial 911. Do not attempt to put out a fire yourself unless there is a fire extinguisher nearby and the fire is under control. Pull stations are located near building entrances on first floors and near the exit routes on the second floors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                          3. Faculty members in a building where an alarm has sounded shall assume responsibility for the evacuation of students in an orderly manner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                          4. Upon evidence of an emergency, faculty members in adjacent buildings shall assume responsibility for the evacuation of students in an orderly manner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                          5. Evacuation of buildings should be made at the closest exit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                          6. The college security staff shall assist with evacuation. The maintenance department shall be available at the site to give technical assistance to emergency agencies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
                                            <\/span><\/span>

                                            \n

                                            The procedures below should be followed for persons who may need emergency attention while on the SA国际传媒 campus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \n
                                            1. If the injury or illness appears acute, call an ambulance immediately. If the switchboard is open (weekdays), dial \u00ab0\u00bb for the campus operator and the operator will make the call. If the switchboard is closed (evenings, weekends), dial \u00ab911\u00bb using a pay phone or \u00ab9-911\u00bb using a campus phone. The following information should be provided:
                                              1. a general description of the injury or illness,<\/li>
                                              2. an exact location where the emergency vehicle should locate, according to the attached map [letter or number], and<\/li>
                                              3. answers to any questions from emergency personnel.<\/li><\/ol>After an ambulance has been called, notify security personnel at extension 6365 or cell 636-368-2183.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              4. If assistance is needed for either a minor or acute injury or illness during regular weekday hours, the director of counseling (ext. 6576) should be contacted. If the director of counseling is not available, the registrar (ext. 6551) should be contacted. In the evening, the evening supervisor (ext. 6699) or security personnel (ext. 6365 or cell 636-368-2183) should be contacted. On weekends, the security personnel should be contacted. After the emergency has been addressed, the vice president for student services and vice president for curriculum & instruction should be notified of the situation by the appropriate staff member.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              5. The director of counseling (weekdays), evening supervisor (evenings), or security personnel\/staff member (weekends) should contact the parent, guardian, or spouse of any person with an acute injury or illness and inform them of what action has been taken by college personnel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              6. In all cases, an emergency report should be forwarded by the staff member most closely involved in the emergency to the director of counseling, who will forward a copy of the report to the director of facilities and grounds. The director of facilities and grounds will inform the appropriate personnel. Forms to report student emergencies are available from the secretary to the vice president for student services (ext. 6565) and forms to report employee emergencies are available from human resources (ext. 6710).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                              7. In all cases, caution should be exercised not to do anything that might aggravate the condition of the injured or ill person.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                                NOTE: Instructors are encouraged to include in their course syllabi or class introductions a statement inviting students to share with them privately any existing medical conditions of which the instructor should be aware.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                                                      5. Use the telephone only to report an emergency. Use a portable radio to get the latest emergency public information, but wisely conserve batteries.Monitor: KLPW-AM (1220 kHz), KTUI-AM (1560 kHz), KTUI-FM (102.1 MHz), KSLQ-AM (1350 kHz), KSLQ-FM (104.5 MHz), KGNV (89.9 MHz). If no local station survives, monitor KMOX-AM (1120 kHz) or another St. Louis area station.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                      6. If a person has been named in this plan or assigned a part in it, perform as required. Volunteers should report to the office area outside of the command center or administrative building for instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                                      7. Emergency Alarm System: The signaling of a fire alarm will direct the immediate evacuation of the buildings. When directing employees and students to an assembly area, care should be taken to avoid potentially hazardous areas. All personnel are required to remain out of the building area until instructed to do otherwise by personnel in charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
