SLIDE ANIMATION: Click to uncover the levels and discuss

The Citadel has implemented an emergency management plan that consists of: a formalized written plan that includes specific emergency response protocols, proactive threat monitoring, alert notification capability, and training & exercises. The program has been developed and implemented to help minimize the impact to life, property, and our ability to maintain critical campus operations, as a result of some serious event that occurs on (or nearby) the campus.

D. Formal Response Plan 00:45 – 00:50


There are three major sections to The Citadel’s Formal Response Plan. Each section supports the other two. The core section outlines the plan’s basic organization and objectives. Basically, this is the who, what, when and how section of the plan. The response protocol section provides specifics of how to execute response. This section is the “action area”, and it’s organized according to each type of threat.Finally, the logistics and support section provides critical supplemental information and addresses the activities of various departments or responder groups and sub-groups.

E. Individual Response Protocol


The individual response protocols (that make up Section II of the Plan) outline specific basic steps that should be taken in response to various types of incidents that could occur here at The Citadel. These protocols provide critical information that employees need to know in the event of an emergency.

5

For example, since the Charleston area is located on an active fault line, the response protocol shown in this slide has been developed to guide campus response to an earthquake event.All of the emergency response protocols included within the Emergency Response Plan follow the same basic format: (1) they are very brief, (2) they provide a brief explanation of the specific emergency addressed, (3) they include initial response actions and post- event actions; and, (4) a summary box is included for each protocol. These summary boxes provide a “snapshot” list of key response action.

F. Quick Reference Guide 00:45 – 00:50

In addition, all of the individual response protocol summary boxes have been compiled into a separate Quick Reference Guide document that provides a “one-stop” source of key emergency response actions. You have one in your student guide. We’ll be referring to it throughout the rest of the course. Specifically we’re going to look at the Active Shooter section.

E. Notification 01:00 – 01:15

SLIDE ANIMATION: Fly in by line

Our Public Safety dispatcher is the primary person to launch a Bulldog Alert. That is a huge responsibility. But one they take very serious to keep you safe.

Every 24 hours the system updates from our campus database. We’ll talk more on that later.

We have three methods of reaching you if there is a shooter on campus, the siren, telephone/text alerts and message boards.

G. Alert Notification 01:15 – 01:25

SLIDE ANIMATION: Fly in right from right by line and paragraph left from left by paragraph

Has anyone not heard the siren?

As part of the Bulldog Alert program, we have installed two outdoor sirens on campus. These sirens are activated in an emergency to provide a “first alert” warning to our outdoor campus population. The Public Safety Dispatcher on duty will activate the sirens as a part of our campus notification protocol. At noon on the first day of every month, we perform a monthly test of our campus outdoor emergency alert system.The two sirens are located at opposite ends of the campus, and we currently achieve close to 100 decibel alert coverage across the main campus area. The off campus area campus, including the football stadium, parts of The Joe Reilly Stadium, and about half of Hampton park, are covered to almost 70 decibels. These sirens are indeed loud, and can be heard inside many campus buildings, as well.But the sirens are only part of the notification systems in place.

H. Messaging System 01:35 – 01:45

SLIDE ANIMATION: Fade in typing, fly in photosThe Citadel community is also linked through a web-based mass notification system that is capable of sending out emergency alert text messages and voice calls to thousands of contacts at once. The system is only used during an emergency, and serves as the primary means to distribute critical response and recovery information to our campus constituents.

I. Message Boards

7

To supplement the campus sirens and the mass notification system, there are also several wireless text messaging boards deployed at several locations across campus. These message boards are generally located in noisy locations, places where large groups tend to gather, and places where visitors are likely to congregate. These signs help with the rapid dissemination of emergency alerts and instructions. We also have them set up for local or mass, global, activation. This way we can target the alert if it’s focused in one place.

J. Active Shooter Incident

Look at your Emergency Protocol Quick Reference Guide. This guide provides you the very basic steps necessary to survive an active shooter incident on campus. You will have to preform each of these steps to protect yourself, your students or customers, and The Citadel. The following scenario provides a general outline of how the campus Bulldog Alert Emergency Response Program will be implemented during an actual campus emergency event. These steps happen very fast, they usually last less than 13 minutes. And law enforcement response time averages 18 minutes. So you will have to react immediately. Here’s what happens:

K. Plan Activation Police

8

As our campus police department recognizes a serious threat, either by seeing the threat, hearing gunfire or receiving calls or texts, the on-duty dispatcher will activate the emergency notification system to alert our campus population.

L. Plan Activation Siren/Message Boards

SLIDE AUTOMATION: Click for digital board flash and siren

As part of this process, the dispatcher will sound the campus sirens

M. Plan Activation Phone/Text

…and initiate the distribution of alert messages to all contacts registered within the Bulldog Alert system database

N. Your Actions

Students, employees, and others will respond to the emergency in accordance with pre-established protocols and/or other instructions as provided by the Crisis Management Team.

Follow the Quick Reference Guide, the life you safe may be your own!

O. EOC and Crisis Management Team

Once the emergency alert process is underway, the campus emergency operations center will be “formally” activated, and the college’s Crisis Management Team members will assemble and begin implementation of emergency response activities.

P. Updates to Community

The Crisis Management Team then begins providing response instructions and incident updates to the campus at-large using the Bulldog Alert messaging system and website, and will also coordinate with local media, as the emergency response progresses.

P. WAIT FOR ALL CLEAR10

Do not answer doors, let the telephone ring, you are hiding remember? Stay hidden until the all

all clear is issued by one of these agencies. They will identify themselves and tell you all clear. The process for All clear is straight forward.

Under no circumstances are you to leave the campus until directed to do so. On 9/11 several Pentagon employees went home without checking in. They were believed to be dead for up to a week or more until they decided to reach out to someone.

So wait for the all clear before resuming normal operations, check in to see if you are authorized to leave early and stay safe.

Q. Return to Normal

Once the immediate threat has passed, the campus begins a gradual return to normal operations as quickly as possible. Depending upon incident type and severity, the recovery phase may extend into days, weeks; or, even months, while critical repairs are made and clean-up activities are undertaken. During the response and recovery phases of any campus emergency, employee’s should attempt to maintain regular contact with their immediate supervisor, and visit the Bulldog Alert website as often as possible.

R. PRACTICE

OK In a few seconds we’ll practice the program. As soon as you hear the gunshots take action. (CLICK FOR GUNSHOTS)

OK everyone did sort of OK. What happened at your tables? Discuss with your table mates and then we’ll do an after action review.

GO TABLE BY TABEL TO SEE WHAT WAS DONE RIGHT, WHAT WAS DONE WRONG AND WHAT COULD BE DONE BETTER. QRITE DOWN RESPONSES ON EISEL.

S. Signing up for Bulldog Alerts

So now you will need to know how to get on the system. This is a must for you so you know what safety threat is going on. We want to keep you safe! In addition, the college maintains the “Bulldog Alert” web site, which serves as a repository of campus emergency planning and response information that is accessible to students and employees 24/7. Here, you can find links to the current versions of our emergency plans and documents, “live” current event campus evacuation, closure, or re-opening updates, and important emergency instructions and information (during an emergency event).

T. Bulldog Alert Web Page

Here is a screen capture that shows how the Bulldog Alert website home page is organized.Clicking on the “Sign-up” link (click for animation), begins the account registration process, where you will be asked to provide contact telephone numbers and email addresses to receive emergency alerts. An updated master database of contacts is uploaded to the main server once each day. Once the sign-up process is completed, emergency alerts and test messages may be received.Links to campus Emergency Plans and other documents are located along the left margin (click for animation); and, any critical information updates and/or emergency instructions are posted directly in the area at the page’s center (click for animation).

T. Post Quiz

Time for one last quiz. You’ll have 3 minutes. Set? Go

After 3 minutes.Hand your quiz to the person across from you. Let’s review the answers.
