Introduction 

Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) developed this model Emergency Evacuation andOperationsPlan (EEOP) toassistdepartments inpreparing forbuildingemergenciesasexpectedandrequiredbyUniversitypolicy,theSeattleFireCode,andtheWashingtonAdministrativeCode(WAC). This plan is intended for use by multiple departments and may be completed as adepartmental or building evacuation plan. For buildingswhich are taller than four stories (HighRiseBuildings),refertoadditionalrequirementsinAppendixP.

Itisexpectedthatdepartmentswillcustomizeandcompletethisplantomeettheirspecificneeds,operations, and locations. Departments and/or colleges with multiple buildings may develop asingleplanfortheirfacilities,aslongasbuildingspecificinformationforeachfacilityisincludedinAppendicesAthroughD.

Review and dialog among multiple departments within a single building and/or individual firezonesmust be part of the process of completing a building specific EEOP. Staff from EH&S areavailabletoprovidetechnicalassistance,includingreviewingafinaldraftofyourEEOP.

Themodel EEOPwaswritten to complement and supplement the University ofWashington All‐HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan(EMP)forcampusoperationsduringlargescaleorcampus‐wideemergencies.AcopyoftheUWEMPshouldbemaintainedinyourdepartment.CopiesofthecampusplanareavailablefromtheOfficeofEmergencyManagementandonlineattheirwebsite.ReviewingthecampusEMPmaybehelpfulwhilecompletingtheattachedEEOP.SeeAppendixJformoredetails.

Instructions 

Italicized text is instructional informationprovided tohelp incompletionof theplanandshouldbedeletedwhen theplan iscomplete.Thebalanceof the text should remain toassure fullcompliancewithapplicableregulation.

ThisEEOPisamodelplanthatrequirescertainsectionsbecompletedbyeachdepartmentinorderto individualize theplan for theirbuilding.The following instructionsprovidea listof items thatneed to be finished for this plan to be completed. EH&S also recommends that eachdepartmentinclude a letter from their Department Chair approving adoption of this plan. In addition, it isimportantthatEvacuationDirectorsandEvacuationWardensreadthroughthisdocumentinordertobecomefamiliarwithitscontents,requirements,andprocedures.

If youhavemultiple buildings in your department or college, youmaydevelop a single EEOP tocover thesemultiple facilities. In this case, includebuilding specific information for eachof yourfacilitiesinAppendicesAthroughD.

Coordination with Other Emergency Plans 

An EEOP is a key component of Departmental Health and Safety Plans and University disasterplanning.TheEEOPmustbecoordinatedwiththefollowingemergency/safetyplans.

1. TheUWAll‐HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan:TheEMPprovidesthemanagementstructure, key responsibilities, emergency assignments, and general procedures to followduring and immediately after an emergency. It provides a temporary crisismanagementstructure,whichprovidesfortheimmediatefocusofmanagementonresponseoperationsand the early transition to recovery operations. The EMP includes procedures forcommunicating with the UW Emergency Operations Center as well as the managementstructureoftheIncidentCommandSystem.

2. Other Departmental Emergency Response Plans: This departmental plan has beencoordinatedasnecessarywithotherdepartmentalplansinthebuildingasfollows:

2. FireAlarmSystem:Thebuildingfirealarmsystemiscontinuouslymonitoredforalarmbya contracted service and, in a backup capacity, by the UWPD Communication Center. Allalarms result in an automatic response by Seattle FireDepartment, UWPD, and FacilitiesServices’FOMSunit.

Employee Orientation 

Newemployeesmustbe informedof theEEOPaspartof theirnewemployee safety orientation.This initial plan and all significant revisions to the plan should be routed to all personnel.

AbouttheUWAll‐HazardsEmergencyManagementPlan(EMP)

Background 

In June of 2005, the University of Washington published a revised comprehensive EmergencyManagement Plan (EMP) for campus operation during large scale or campus‐wide emergencies.CopiesoftheEMPareavailableattheEmergencyManagementwebsitebelow:

http://www.washington.edu/emergency/ep

ThefollowingisasummaryoftheEMP.

The UW All‐Hazards Emergency Management Plan 

The EMP provides guidelines for the management of the immediate actions and operationsrequiredtorespondtoanemergencyordisaster.TheoverallprioritiesoftheUniversityduringadisaster are the protection of lives, live assets, valuable research processes, property, thecommunity,andtheenvironment.Theoverallobjectiveistorespondtoemergencyconditionsandmanage the process of restoring University academic and research programs and services. Thisplan represents the Campus Emergency Management Plan, which encompasses the facilities,servicesandtheadministrationoftheUWSeattlecampus.

Purpose of the Emergency Management Plan 

This plan provides themanagement structure, key responsibilities, emergency assignments, andgeneral procedures to follow during and immediately after an emergency. The University hasestablishedthisplantoaddresstheimmediaterequirementsforamajordisasteroremergencyinwhichnormaloperationsareinterruptedandspecialmeasuresmustbetakento:

Saveandprotectthelivesofstudents,patients,employees,andthepublic.

Manageimmediatecommunicationsandinformationregardingemergencyresponseoperationsandcampussafety.

Provideessentialservicesandoperations.

ManageUniversityresourceseffectivelyintheemergencyresponse.

ItisimportanttopointoutthatthisEMPdoesnotcoverspecificdepartmentaloperations,evenforthosedepartments assigned emergency response functions. All departmentsmust establish theirownemergencyoperationsplanthatconsiderstheirspecificneedsandhowtheywillinterfacewiththeUWEMP.
