Part 1 - Introduction


1.1 Introduction The development and implementation of this Emergency Management Plan (EMP) is part of Curtin University’s commitment to enhance the safety and well-being of people in its facilities and to protect the facilities. The Standard (AS 3745-2010 Planning for Emergencies in Facilities) together with the Emergency Management Act 2005 and the Western Australian State Emergency Management framework for emergency prevention, preparedness, response and recovery from incidents have been referenced and utilised to identify the following principles and best practice:

preventative measures are identified, assessed and implemented

personnel are prepared for emergencies through training, skills and knowledge

appropriate response measures are initiated to address the scale and size of the emergency

the University is able to continue operations within a reasonable timeframe. 1.2 Aim The aim of the EMP is to outline the management structure, responsibilities, procedures and guiding policies to assist Curtin University when responding to an emergency event. The EMP directs the response efforts and works in conjunction with standard operating procedures (SOPs) and department specific plans which complement and coordinate overall efforts and provides more depth and specific knowledge and expertise. 1.3 Definition of an emergency An emergency, for the purposes of this document is defined by the Emergency Management Act 2005 as: “the occurrence or imminent occurrence of a hazard which is of such a nature or magnitude that it requires a significant and coordinated response” For Curtin University incidents/emergencies the Emergency Response Diagram (refer Part 3 – Response) should be adhered to. 1.4 Scope The EMP is a campus-level plan covering property owned and/or operated by Curtin University and the faculty, staff, students and visitors associated with the University campus. The EMP is designed to address a comprehensive range of natural and manmade hazards that could affect the University. This EMP covers the Curtin University Bentley campus, Technology Park, Shenton Park and Curtin Graduate Business School. Other campuses or property owned or leased by Curtin will have separate plans.

2.2 Western Australian Hazard Management Structure

The hazard management structure consists of “Controlling Agencies”, "Hazard Management Agencies", "Combat Agencies" and "Support Organisations" that are at some level involved with preventing, preparing for, responding to and recovering from the effects of a hazard.

Figure 1 – Hazard Management Structure

2.2.1 Controlling Agency

A Controlling Agency is the agency nominated to control the response activities to an incident.

When an Emergency Situation/State of Emergency is declared the Controlling Agency may also be the prescribed Hazard Management Agency for that hazard.

2.2.2 Hazard Management Agency (HMA)

Pursuant to s.4 (1) Emergency Management Act 2005 a HMA is a public authority, or other person, who may be prescribed by the regulations to be a Hazard Management Agency for emergency management, or an emergency management aspect prescribed by the regulations, of a hazard prescribed by the regulations.

A Hazard Management Agency is prescribed because of that agency’s functions under any written law or specialized knowledge, expertise and resources, is responsible for emergency management, or the prescribed emergency management aspect, in the area prescribed of the hazard for which is prescribed s.4 (3) of the Act.

The prescribed Hazard Management Agencies are detailed in the Emergency Management Regulations, 2006.

When an emergency situation is declared by a Hazard Management Agency, that agency is responsible for the overall management of the response to the incident resulting from that hazard.

Controlling Agency

Combat Agency Support Organisation


2.2.3 Combat Agency

A public authority, or other person, may be prescribed by the regulations to be a Combat Agency who or which, because of the agency’s functions under any written law or specialized knowledge, expertise and resources, is responsible for performing an emergency management activity prescribed by the regulations in relation to that agency s.6 (2) of the Act.

A Combat Agency undertakes response tasks at the request of the Controlling Agency in accordance with their legislative responsibilities or specialised knowledge. 2.2.4 Support Organisation

A Public authority or other person who or which, because of the agency’s functions under any written law or specialised knowledge, expertise and resources is responsible for providing support functions prescribed by the regulations in relation to that organisation s.6(2) of the Act

A Support Organisation undertakes specific activities in support of the Controlling Agency, Combat Agencies and other Support Organisations upon request.


2.3 Exercising and Reviewing

2.3.1 Aim of Exercising Testing and exercising are essential to ensure that the Emergency Management Plan is workable and effective. Testing and exercising is also important to ensure that individuals and departments remain appropriately aware of what is required of them during an emergency. The exercising of a HMA’s response to an incident is a HMA responsibility however; it could be incorporated into one of the University’s exercises. Exercising the plan will allow the EPC to:

test the effectiveness of the Emergency Management Plan

bring together individuals, departments, faculties, members of emergency management agencies and give them knowledge of and confidence in, their roles and responsibilities allow participating agencies an opportunity to test their operational procedures and skills in simulated emergency conditions

test the ability of separate agencies to work together on common tasks and to assess effectiveness of co-ordination between them.

2.3.2 Exercising Exercises shall be undertaken for each procedure documented in this Emergency Management Plan. These exercises can be desktop simulation, partial exercise or full evacuation drill. Exercises shall only be undertaken once the EPC has confirmed that the procedures have been assessed for completeness and those with responsibilities have been trained. The EPC shall develop a schedule of exercises in consultation with the EMT. Each EMT shall then plan, organise and execute these exercises in accordance with the schedule. For each exercise, a risk assessment must be undertaken to determine unplanned events. The objectives and expected outcomes of the exercise must be established, documented and communicated to all participants. Each exercise shall have a nominated observer. Prior to conducting any exercise, those affected by the exercise shall be made aware of the type, scope and inclusion/exclusions of employees, visitors and contractors related to the exercise. Where necessary, signs indicating that the activities are a drill/exercise shall be distributed in the area of the drill/exercise if required. 2.3.3 Frequency of Exercises One full evacuation exercise/drill shall occur every 12 months for each building.


2.3.4 Types of Exercises Some examples of exercises types include:

Desktop/Discussion

A phone tree recall exercise

Operating procedures of an Emergency Operations Centre

Locating and activating resources on the Emergency Resources Register (refer to Appendix 3).

2.3.5 Debriefing A debriefing will be held at the completion of the exercise and involve all exercise participants. Participants should be encouraged to comment on the execution of the exercise and provide recommendations and suggestions for improvement. All comments should be documented and forwarded to the EPC.


2.4 Emergency Risk Management

Risks – hazards likely to occur Curtin University recognizes that the campus’ ability to cope with the impact of potential emergencies largely depends on the preparation of plans and procedures. The following tables illustrate the prioritisation of local hazards, responsible HMAs, relevant Westplans and local procedures pertaining to Curtin University.

However, Curtin University is committed to providing HMA and combat agencies with assistance and support where possible for emergency events through the implementation of this Plan or any part of.




Part 3 -Response


3.1 Australasian Interservice Incident Management System (AIIMS) Curtin University has adopted the principles of the Australasian Interservice Incident Management System (AIIMS) for its Emergency Management Plan. AIIMS is a nationally recognised system of incident management and provides for an organisational structure able of responding to all levels of emergencies from simple to complex. Its operation relies on the formation of an Incident Management Team for command and control of an incident.

3.1.1 Incident Management Structure

Incident

Controller

Planning

Operations

Logistics

Public

Information

3.1.2 Incident Management Team (IMT)

Based on the principals of management by objectives, AIIMS allows for flexibility to respond to incidents that may escalate in severity and its operation relies on the formation of an Incident Management Team for command and control of an incident.

The Incident Controller may determine that an Incident Management Team (IMT) and an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) is required, the IMT would assemble at a predetermined campus Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) to take control of the response to the emergency.

3.1.3 Incident Support Group (ISG)

The ISG is convened by the HMA to assist in the overall coordination of services and information during a major incident. Coordination is achieved through clear identification of priorities by agencies sharing information and resources.

The role of the ISG is to provide support to the agency Incident Management Team. The ISG is a group of people represented by the different agencies that may have involvement in the incident and is formed when there is a necessity to coordinate multiple agencies.

Frequency of meetings will be determined by the Incident Controller and will generally depend on the nature and complexity of the incident.


3.1.4 Incident Levels

This Emergency Management Plan refers to three levels of emergency incidents as per AIIMS and State Emergency Management Policy (SEMP) 4.1 – Operational Management.

Level 1 (Low)

A local Level 1 Incident is typically one where the emergency situation presents danger, but there is no immediate threat to areas outside the vicinity of the emergency. Generally does not require a response from a Hazard Management Agency (e.g. Police, Fire or Ambulance).

Level 2 (Serious)

A Level 2 Incident is a situation that could go beyond the abilities of the first responder and require the attendance of the HMA. Activation of an Incident Management Team would be done and the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) should they be required.

Level 3 (Major)

A Level 3 Incident is a serious situation with the possibility of developing into a critical situation involving inability to provide core business, fatalities or multiple serious injuries and/or serious acts of violence on a large scale. A level 3 incident is likely to lead to Curtin University being externally controlled by emergency services and the formation of the Critical Incident Management Team.

3.2 Curtin’s Emergency Response Structure

3.2.1 Responding to an emergency

For life-threatening emergencies (Fire, Police or Ambulance): Call 0 000 from an internal phone Call 000 from an external or mobile phone.

Only call 000 if you are seeking an emergency response from Police, Fire or Ambulance Services. Text Emergency Call - Dial 106

People who use a TTY (teletypewriter) or computer with modem to access the telephone network can call emergency services via the National Relay Service. This service is not available to people who do not rely on text-based communication

For non-life threatening emergencies including general Security assistance: Call 4444 from an internal phone Call 9266 4444 from an external or mobile phone

Use the SafeZone app (a free app for all students and staff that connects you directly to the University's Security team when you need help or first aid).

N.B. It should be noted that any person providing a “first response” should limit their actions to be commensurate with their level of training and expertise.


3.2.2 Incident Alert Matrix

The Critical Incident Management Team has identified in their Incident Alert Matrix three incident levels. These incident levels pertain to Curtin University only and should not be confused with the incident levels detailed in AIIMS or State Emergency Management Policy (SEMP) 4.1 - Operational Management. For further detailed information regarding these levels refer to Appendix 6. Level 1 Alert (yellow) - usually a situation that presents danger however, there is no immediate risk to areas outside the vicinity of the emergency - managed within the work area with low probability of escalation. Level 2 Alert (orange) - usually a situation that could go beyond the abilities of the first responder and will require the attendance of Security / EMT / emergency services – Curtin has control and needs to work across business areas. Level 3 Alert (red) – usually a serious incident with the possibility of developing into a critical situation involving the inability to provide core business, fatalities or multiple serious injuries and/or serious acts of violence on a large scale. A level 3 incident is likely to lead to Curtin University being externally controlled by emergency services and the formation of the Critical Incident Management Team.

3.2.4 Emergency Operations Centres (EOC)

The following locations have been identified as Emergency Operations Centres:

Incident Management Team: Security Building

Critical Incident Management Team: Building 100


3.3 Media Management and Public Information

People threatened or impacted by emergencies have an urgent and vital need for information and direction. Such person’s require adequate, timely information and instructions in order to be aware of the emergency and to take appropriate actions to safeguard life and property. (refer Westplan Public Information). The provision of this information is the responsibility of the HMA. This is achieved through the Incident Management Team position of ‘Public Information Officer’ as per the AIIMS Structure.

It is likely that Curtin University will want to issue media releases for the students and staff they are responsible for. However, the release times, issues identified and content shall be coordinated through the ISG to avoid conflicting messages being disseminated.

(Please refer to the media procedures policy at http://policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/) 3.4 Evacuation, Evacuation Diagrams and Equipment

3.4.1 Evacuation

Evacuation is a risk management strategy which may need to be implemented, particularly in regards to cyclones, flooding and fire. The decision to evacuate either a building/s or all/part of the campus will be based on an assessment of the nature and extent of the hazard, the anticipated speed of onset, the number and category of people to be evacuated, evacuation priorities and the availability of resources. These considerations should focus on providing all the needs of those being evacuated to ensure their safety and on-going welfare.

Evacuation of site may be a necessity and therefore effective communication with external agencies and in particular surrounding local governments is essential.

3.4.2 Evacuation Diagrams

Properties shall ensure that building evacuation diagrams are prepared, displayed and updated in accordance with AS3745-2010 Planning for Emergencies in Facilities. Building evacuation diagram (example)

Part 4 -Recovery


4.1 Recovery Recovery management is the coordinated process of supporting “emergency affected communities in the reconstruction and restoration of physical infrastructure, the environment and community, psychosocial and economic wellbeing”. (Emergency Management Act 2005) Recovery is more than simply the replacement of what has been destroyed and the rehabilitation of those affected. It is a complex social and developmental process. Recovery provides an opportunity to improve aspects beyond previous conditions by enhancing social infrastructure, natural and built environments, and economies. The manner in which recovery processes are undertaken is critical to their success. (EMA Community Recovery Handbook 2011) 4.2 Aim The aim of recovery is to restore, as quickly as possible, business continuity to an affected area so that it is able to continue to function as part of the wider campus. The aim of providing recovery services is to assist the affected area towards management of its own recovery. It is recognised that where a structure or individual experiences a significant emergency there may be a need to supplement help via the Critical Incident Management Team. 4.3 Priorities for Recovery The Critical Incident Management Team/Emergency Management Team should consider the following areas when recommending priorities and ensuring work is completed:

Health and safety of individuals

Safeness of buildings

Welfare/social recovery

Economic recovery

Physical recovery

Environmental recovery

Business continuity The Emergency Management Team has responsibility for ensuring the recovery phase is initiated and are accountable for ensuring that all issues are addressed, resolved and completed. Please refer to the Liaison Office checklist at Appendix 8. 4.4 Welfare / Evacuation Centres (In development - liaison required with CIMT / DCPFS)


Part 5 - Appendices




Appendix 1: Risk Register Schedule (subject to development)

Risk assessments consider possible risk to life, property and the business impact for Curtin University. Each Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is accompanied by a risk assessment. In assessing the risk the following methodology has been applied. Step A – Consider the consequences Step B – Consider the likelihood

For each hazard, consider the consequence if something happens. Consider what could reasonably have happened, as well as what actually happened (if there was an accident/incident). Look at the description below and choose the most suitable consequences.

How likely is it that something will happen as a result of the hazard? Look at the description below and choose the most suitable likelihood.

Consequence Description Likelihood Description

Fatality May cause death and/or severe

irreversible disability, and/or

permanent ill health

Very Likely Will probably occur

immediately or within a

short period of time

Major Severe injury or illness Likely Will probably occur in

time

Minor Minor (usually reversible) injury or

illness resulting in days off work

Possible Might occur in the next

few months

First Aid First aid level medical treatment Unlikely Could happen, but only

rarely

Negligible No treatment required Highly

Unlikely

Has the potential to

occur, but probably

never will

Step C – Calculate the Risk Level

1. Take the Step A rating and select the correct consequence

2. Take the step B rating and select the correct likelihood

3. Circle the risk level where the two ratings cross in the matrix below

Risk level = …………………………………………

Appendix 2: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - Evacuation

Evacuation Procedures

Subject Evacuation procedures Reference AS 3745-2010 - Planning for emergencies in facilities Review Date August 2014 Responsibility Curtin Emergency Planning Committee (EPC) Background For the purposes of evacuating a building for all hazards, do so immediately upon hearing the:

alert or alarm from the Emergency Warden Intercommunication System (EWIS),

fire alarm bell or

via verbal directive from a warden, Security staff or emergency services personnel. Procedure(s) Where it has been identified there is the need to evacuate, the following procedure(s) should be followed: Chief Warden

put on white tabard and ensure the safety of yourself and other personnel;

ascertain the nature of the emergency, o determine the most appropriate action, o assume control of the situation and o initiate a safe evacuation of the area if applicable;

notify the appropriate emergency services / Security and wait for the Warden’s status reports;

if appropriate, brief the emergency services team(s) and standby for their direction;

monitor the evacuation process and assess any potential need to extend the evacuation area;

ensure a log is maintained throughout which can be used during the debrief and secured for future reference;

brief / update either Security / Emergency Management Team (EMT) depending on the incident who will inform or escalate to the Critical Incident Management Team (CIMT);

implement the initial phase of recovery.


Warden

put on red tabard, remain calm, ascertain type and location of emergency if safe to do so;

if immediate evacuation is required, initiate controlled evacuation, otherwise wait for instructions from the Chief Warden;

operate the intercommunication system if available;

search (perform sweep) of designated area to ensure all persons are accounted for (staff, students, visitors and contractors);

assist mobility impaired persons to designated safe holding area.

ensure orderly flow of persons into protected areas, e.g. stairwells;

ensure that all fire and smoke doors are closed;

on successful evacuation report situation to the Chief Warden;

direct persons to relevant assembly area/muster point;

prevent persons from re-entering the evacuation zone or building;

control and account for personnel at assembly point if directed to do so by the Chief Warden;

compile a report of your actions for the debrief and keep for future reference. First Aid

collect first aid kit if possible;

provide care to injured personnel;

make way to the muster point and report to a Warden;

ensure first aid equipment is restocked;

attend and participate in the debrief, if applicable. Employees, Visitors and Contractors

remain calm;

collect small personal belongings (e.g. wallet/car keys) DO NOT take computers and other large items;

ensure persons in your immediate vicinity are aware they are to evacuate;

assist disabled persons in your immediate area as per their Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP);

immediately leave the building by the first available emergency exit and proceed to the designated assembly area/muster point;

DO NOT congregate around the exit doors. Remain at the assembly area/muster point until otherwise directed by a Warden.

DO NOT use the lifts. This is not permitted in an emergency evacuation.

DO NOT carry hot liquids or food when evacuating a building. This will slow your evacuation and could cause a danger to another person i.e. spillage.

DO NOT re-enter the building until the Warden or emergency services personnel have given the all clear.
