NOTICE OF APPROVAL AND PROMULGATION
Situations of emergent nature may arise without notice and be of multiple compounding deleterious characteristics involving all manners of response ranging from individual to multiple organization assets for appropriate response. As such, as is accorded within Federal, State, and Local statues as well as the authority that resides with the President of 猫咪AV, this document, the emergency operations plan, has been created and will be employed as is appropriate to any number of situations that may reside within the purview of the instrument. In addition to authorization of the creation of this document, the Emergency Response Team discussed on the following pages is authorized to take necessary actions for the good of 猫咪AV to include ongoing briefings to appropriate personnel in regard to salient information within the document as well as recurring update and modification of said instrument.

Dr. Seth Macon Carter
CCC President

 

INTRODUCTION
This document is intended to address the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and associated Emergency Response Team (ERT) procedures at 猫咪AV (CCC). Said document is intended to be utilized as is appropriate by CCC personnel with the intent of the preservation of life, property, function of the organization, and the maintenance of a measure of observance to select aspects of federal, state, and local regulations to include the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS) to allow for optimal function with external entities, should the need arise, while also integrating local building/ department plans and the preservation of a level of autonomy thereof.

PURPOSE
The EOP is meant to be of a flexible nature with the ability to scale to varying disaster classifications and address multiple typologies much as NIMS/ ICS recommends. The EOP should provide a platform for diverse personnel with the CCC organization to be amalgamated into an effective instrument during times of strife as well as allowing for enhanced administrative and logistical support to members of the operational side of emergent or urgent response while holding the facilitation of communications and information release at the utmost level of import to allow for the efficacious response and safety of the campus.
The EOP is not a standard operating procedure (SOP) and should not be viewed as such. SOPs are rote courses of action to be followed within an organization. The EOP allows for a generalized methodology that may be adapted to respond to a myriad of scenarios with exception as may be noted within the specific responses in the functional annex.
The ERT is a selection of CCC personnel that is meant to not only possess appropriate armamentaria for execution of the EOP during times of strife but also represent the organization in as an inclusive means as possible. Furthermore, the ERT should be able to modify and update the EOP as is necessary to accommodate changes within the CCC organization as well as incorporate appropriate countermeasures/ courses of action and preparation to suit the ever evolving modern day dynamic threat environ. As such, the EOP is a living document that must advance to meet novel requirements. Not only is the ERT expected to facilitate emergency procedures and yield appropriate guidance on matters of emergency policy, the ERT is also integral to the authorization of the execution of evacuation as well as facilities directives while also coordinating the release of public information and instructions as is necessary.
For information and online training in regard to NIMS/ ICS, it is highly recommended that personnel examine the NIMS/ ICS training available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency at http://training.fema.gov/ as well as take part in CCC organization trainings regarding the EOP and ERT.
Further discussion of specific procedures, organization and logistics, event impact classification, EOP/ Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activation as well as a functional annex and appendices are present involving topics ranging from the layout of the CCC campus to select plans for building evacuations.

SITUATION AND ABBREVIATED DISCUSSION OF HAZARDS
猫咪AV (CCC) resides in a rural locale within an agricultural based regional town, the town of Colby within the State of Kansas, County of Thomas, with an approximate population of 5,300 people. A transnational highway, Interstate-70, transects the town in an east to west fashion with two interstate access points along with a state highway, Kansas-25, transiting the town on a north to south axis. Highway-24 also crosses the north end of Colby in an east and west manner. In additional to CCC, the town is incorporated and possesses a police department, fire department, and emergency medical assets along with a hospital and long term medical facilities. Furthermore, a Sheriff鈥檚 Office also is within the town of mention. Primary and secondary schools are present within the locale. Aircraft operations are also present ranging from fixed wing agriculture applications to rotary wing aeromedical services to private function. An airfield is located on the north side of Colby with a 5,110 foot length hard surface runway and two turf runways of 2,600 feet in length. Multiple types of instrument approaches are available. Furthermore, a rotary wing aeromedical transport base is present in proximity to the local hospital. As for commercial facilities, businesses typical of such an area to include organizations ranging from grocery stores to gas stations to restaurants are extant.
The area is subject to seasonal temperatures ranging from subfreezing to exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. As such, all manners of precipitation may be observed in the locale. Thus, associated severe weather impacts may be experienced to include all modes of severe weather ranging from flooding to tornados. Moreover, wildfires may also be of concern. While dealing with such situations is a relatively normal occurrence, caution should be practiced as such concerns may compound anthropogenic, also known as man-made, events when concomitant situations arise.
Anthropogenic and technological disasters may also be experienced. Technological incidents may involve occurrences ranging from grain elevator explosions to release of agricultural chemicals. Furthermore, anthropogenic concerns may encompass incidents ranging from typical criminal activity of a small community to external felonious happenings entering the locale from the interstate to an active shooter situation.

ASSUMPTIONS
猫咪AV has a substantial apparatus for routine maintenance of the student population and campus. When it comes to extreme events, a significant incident would likely result in the need for external resources. During normal operations and minimally invasive incidents, the ERT, composed of college employees, would, likely, be self-sufficient. If external organizations are required for a considerable incident, the ERT would serve as both an entity functioning for the amelioration of the incident as well as a partnering entity with the external organizations that may be addressing said happening. External organizations may include all manner of first response entities of city, county and/ or state character.

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
猫咪AV holds primary jurisdiction should an incident occur on the college grounds. Should the event require additional resources or the tendering of primary incident control to first responder agencies, the ERT, which also comprises the Emergency Operations Group (EOG), will function as a scalable Incident Response Team within the Emergency Operations Center. Such a function will allow for integration into a unified command structure with external resources which would be expected when operating with external first responder organizations within a NIMS/ ICS construct. While preparedness is fundamental to 猫咪AV, response and mitigation with subsequent recovery from an incident is also central to the function of the ERT and the college. Appropriate actions would be taken to fulfill said purpose as is indicated to include temporary reassignment of all necessary resources to include, if warranted, personnel. The determination for additional resources or reassignment of resources rests with the College President or designee.
Put succinctly, depending on the level of event severity, the Emergency Operations Center will be manned by the Emergency Operations Group who will fulfill Incident Command Team roles in a manner dictated by the incident at hand.

LEVELS OF RESPONSE
The severity of an incident may be categorized as routine (1), urgent (2), or emergent (3). The severity categorization may be reassessed as necessary and may be determined by the College President or designee. The categorization of incidents within the functional annex is not fixed as it is suggested and may be modified beyond the recommendation as is necessary.

1. Routine 鈥� Level 1
   Normal Operations 鈥� Emergency Operations Center activation not necessary. Some damage and/ or interruption to operations possible.
2. Urgent 鈥� Level 2
   Partial or full activation of the EOC likely; Severe damage or significant interruption of CCC operations likely; College is likely the only affected entity in the area
3. Emergent 鈥� Level 3
   
   Full EOC activation, with exception as dictated by the incident at hand. 
   • • • Severe damage/ severe interruption of operations.
       • Damage will likely range beyond the school.
       • External assistance from all possible assets in county and state likely required.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS GROUP
The EOG is a set of personnel that may be utilized as necessary to fulfill required roles within the Incident Command Team for successful resolution of an incident. The EOG should not be confused with the ERT. The EOG is a subset of personnel from the ERT that fulfill the scalable Incident Command Team roles as are required. The ERT includes all possible personnel that may be part of implementing aspects of the EOP. Such a means of organization is critical for interoperability with other organizations should multiple entities be needed for the successful resolution of an incident.
