Information is provided to the EOC by dispatch facilities. The Campus Emergency Management Staff maintain communications systems and the EOC in operable condition. Plans, procedures and resource data are kept up to date. If an emergency situation is likely, the Emergency Management Organization takes necessary actions to increase readiness. The elements of the Emergency Management Organization are activated as required at the direction of the Emergency Operations Executive.
Incident management is established to direct field units.
Operations are coordinated in a centralized or decentralized mode depending on the magnitude of the emergency situation. If an emergency occurs without warning, the initial response is managed in a decentralized mode by on-duty personnel. Centralized management, if required, is established as rapidly as conditions permit. Assistance is requested through mutual aid channels as needed. A Campus Emergency may be declared.
