  First Responder Role

  The first responder is the person who discovers that a problem exists.

  A specific protocol has been developed for most scenarios. However, a first responder has a general role to play.

  Procedure

  1. IMMEDIATELY go to a safe location and call Public Safety.
  2. When calling, identify your location.
  3. Determine the pertinent information (Who? What? When? Where? How? etc.).
  4. Provide all appropriate information regarding the problem.
  5. Help keep people calm until the proper authorities arrive.
  6. After the emergency is over, the first responder will need to verify with the Department of Public Safety the situation at the start of the incident to ensure accuracy of Aftermath Records.

  Emergency Media Information Center

  The Media Information Center is the location where media gather in one room to be briefed on an emergency.  This will facilitate the rapid dissemination of timely, accurate information and help alleviate confusion and uncertainty. There has been a specific area designated for this purpose, should the need arise. Campus Media Information Centers are listed on pages 3-5 of the full Emergency Response Plan.

  Our goal and commitment to the University community is to keep you and your family current with the state of our emergency and provide as much pertinent information to keep you updated.

  The University standard is to activate the Emergency Alert System (EAS) when ongoing circumstances compromise normal business operations affecting all or a portion of our campuses. The Emergency Alert System will notify registered individuals by using text messages, emails and prerecorded voice messages onto cell phones, landline home phones, pagers or PDAs.

• 听

  Emergency Aftermath Assessment Report

  During an emergency there may be many University departments as well as outside emergency personnel involved in neutralizing the problem. Specific individuals throughout the emergency process will document pertinent information. The collected information should be documented on a Aftermath Assessment Report once the emergency ends.

  All completed forms must be submitted to the director of the Department of Public Safety at publicsafety@udmercy.edu for further processing. This report shall be submitted no later than 24 hours after the affected area is returned to normal.

  • Obey directions of emergency response personnel and Building Coordinator(s).
  • All occupants are to remain at the containment location until directed to leave by emergency personnel or University official.
  • If you are directed to leave the building, DO NOT re-enter until emergency personnel gives the order to do so.

  Once you hear the containment Alert Signal you should immediately seek shelter.

  • Move to the interior hallways in the basement or lowest floor.
  • Avoid areas with glass, shelving or heavy equipment.
  • If possible, seek shelter under a desk.
  • Sit on the floor and cover your head with your arms.
  • Remain at this location until the Department of Public Safety or University official tells you it is safe to leave.
