PROCEDURES DURING EMERGENCYThe leader of the RiverPark campus Team depends on appropriate personnel available at the time of the emergency. The first person listed on the Events Team should be considered leader first. If not available, the next person should be the leader, and so on down the list dependent upon availability.

1. Team Leader should split team into two groups, with leaders in each to begin evacuation of works. 2. Evacuation should begin with most valuable first as stated in the priority listing provided. Leader should coordinate security for works being removed and materials to protect works.3. Inform Joint Management Advisory Team of all events and steps.

This section suggest the types of supplies and equipment that may be needed to cope with a natural disaster or other event that causes damage to the

RiverPark campus or to its contents. Few facilities such as the RiverPark campus facilities will ever need the full range of supplies and equipment listed here. The RiverPark campus should acquire only those items that are likely to be of benefit depending on the kinds of emergencies and types of damage that have been anticipated.

On the other hand, this list does not pretend to be all-inclusive. Almost certainly, the

RiverPark campus facilities will find during the planning process that it expects to need items that have not been listed.

This list is intended only as a guide. Items listed here do not necessarily have to be stockpiled exclusively for use in an emergency. Some of these items will be found in all facilities like the RiverPark campus as a matter of course. They can be diverted for use in cleanup and repair operations whenever they are needed. However, keep in mind that the items you may be counting on to use

during or after an emergency may be damaged or destroyed or made inaccessible by

that same emergency.

GUIDE TO EMERGENCY SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT

Some items – such as dry cell batteries – have a limited shelf life. Plan onreplacing such items periodically so that fresh stock is always on-hand inyour stockpile.Finally, always include copies (not originals) of operating manuals or

instructions with items of mechanical and electrical equipment in case someone not experienced with their operation is required to use them in an emergency. The below listed items market by an asterisk (*) are considered the most

critical to have on hand in order to respond to a fire or other disaster event which

mayresult in water damage.

Precautions must be taken to ensure that stockpiled emergency supplies and equipment is not used for day-to-day operations; otherwise, they might not be available when needed.

Therefore, those items that will be critical to the survival of the RiverPark campus and that cannot be procured promptly elsewhere after the emergency should be set aside or stockpiled in a safe place so they will be available if they are ever needed.
