Emergency Planning for ISU Departments
Below is a brief summary of the planning that ISU Departments should do individually. Emergencies can occur at anytime and a well thought out, coordinated response helps prevent personal injury, damage and reduces confusion. Careful planning can help departments handle crises and emergencies and save lives.
General procedures for Emergency Planning:
- Every department should print their building Emergency Response Plan and keep a copy in a convenient location where employees know where it is.
- Action plan and train with your employees after reviewing your Plan. It is a good idea to hold a practice drill as often as necessary to keep employees prepared.
- Know your Building Coordinator and their contact information. This is the contact person for your building in the event of an emergency and will make the necessary decisions during emergencies.
Employees should know:
- Where campus emergency phone numbers are posted
- The location of fire alarm in your building
- The location of fire extinguishers
- Where to seek shelter when an alarm sounds or whether to leave building
- Know your evacuation routes when an emergency occurs
- Where Blue Light phones are located on campus (+ symbol on campus map)
Supplies and Equipment:
Departments are encouraged to keep a basic emergency supply kit. The following are essentials in an accessible location.
- First aid supplies and training
- Flashlights/batteries
- Employee rosters
Preparedness at Home:
