POLICY STATEMENT

The Montana State University Emergency Response Manual has been designed as a contingency manual for Montana State University administrators in order to plan for campus emergencies. While this guide does not cover every conceivable situation, it does supply the basic administrative guidelines necessary to cope with most campus emergencies.

The University policies and procedures herein will be followed by all administrators whose responsibilities and authority cover the operational procedures found in the manual. Campus emergency operations will be conducted within the framework of University guidelines. Any exception to these crisis management procedures will be conducted by, or with the approval of those University administrators directing and/or coordinating the emergency operations.

All requests for procedural changes, suggestions, or recommendations will be submitted in writing to the Director of Safety and Risk Management for technical review. All changes recommended by the Director of Safety and Risk Management will be submitted in writing to the President and Vice Presidents for evaluation and adoption.

The MSU Emergency Response Manual shall be the primary source for guiding University administration when confronting emergency situations at Montana State University. It is recognized that in addition to the procedures outlined in this manual, there are areas of campus that have specific procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency. These additional emergency procedures shall continue to remain in place as long as they do not conflict with the basic procedures and polices contained within this document.

The Montana State University Emergency Response Manual, as adopted below, supersedes any previously developed and/or implemented policy and procedures which reference campus wide emergency situations that had been in effect. This policy manual is reviewed and updated annually in October.

Date_______________________

101.00	General Emergency Guidelines
101.10	Purpose

The basic emergency procedures outlined in this manual are to enhance the protection of lives and property through effective use of University and campus community resources. Whenever an emergency affecting the campus reaches proportions THAT CANNOT BE HANDLED BY ROUTINE MEASURES, the President, or his/her designate may declare a state of emergency, and these contingency guidelines may be implemented. There are two general types of emergencies that may result in the implementation of this plan. These are: (1) large-scale disorder, and (2) large-scale natural/man-made disaster. Since an emergency may be sudden and without warning, these procedures are designed to be flexible in order to accommodate contingencies of various type and magnitude.

101.20

Scope

These procedures apply to all personnel, buildings and grounds, owned, operated or under the supervision and control of Montana State University. This policy also includes those peripheral areas adjoining the university.

101.30

Types of Emergencies

Types of emergencies covered by this manual are:

1. Fire
2. Earthquake
3. Chemical or radiation leak or spill
4. Explosion, downed aircraft (crash) on campus
5. Bomb
6. Civil disturbances or demonstrations
7. Utility failure
8. Violent or criminal behavior
9. Medical and first aid (epidemic poisoning)
10. Psychological crises

In addition there are sections on how to report all emergencies and building evacuation.

101.40

Definitions of an Emergency

The University President or his/her designate serve as the overall Emergency Director during any major emergency or disaster. The following definitions of an emergency are provided as guidelines to assist

Emergency Response Team personnel, building supervisors and building safety officers in determining the appropriate response:

101.41

NORMAL CAMPUS CONDITION - No Emergency:

Normal campus conditions exist.

101.42

MINOR EMERGENCY:

Any incident, potential or actual, which will not seriously affect the overall functional capacity of the University. During a minor emergency a FIELD EMERGENCY COMMAND POST may be established, as deemed necessary by the Operation Director (Director of University Police, or designated alternate). Report Minor Emergencies immediately to University Police at extension 911. Persons residing in Family and Graduate Housing should report emergencies either at extension 911 (local police) or 994-2121 (university police).

101.43

MAJOR EMERGENCY:

Any incident, potential or actual, which effects an entire building or buildings, and which will disrupt the overall operations of the University. Outside emergency services will probably be required, as well as major efforts from available campus services. A major emergency on campus may require the establishment of a General Emergency Command Post. Major policy considerations and decisions will usually be considered by the University Administration during times of crisis. Report Major Emergencies immediately to University Police at extension 911. Persons residing in Family and Graduate Housing should report emergencies at extension 911 (local police) or 994-2121 (university police).

101.44

DISASTER:

Any event or occurrence, which has taken place and has seriously impaired or halted the operations of the University. In some cases, mass personnel casualties and severe property damage has been sustained. A coordinated effort of all campus-wide resources is required to effectively control the situation. Outside emergency services will be essential. In all cases of disaster, a General Emergency Command Post will be activated, and the appropriate support and operational plans will be executed.

105.00

Assumptions

The Montana State University Emergency Response Plan is a realistic approach to the problems likely to be encountered on campus during a major emergency or disaster. Therefore, the following are general guidelines:

1. An emergency or a disaster may occur at any time of the day or night, weekend or holiday, with little or no warning.
2. The succession of events in an emergency are not predictable, therefore, published support and operational plans will serve only as a guide and checklist, and may require field modification in order to meet the requirements of the emergency.
3. Disasters may effect residents within geographical proximity to Montana State University, therefore City of Bozeman, Gallatin County Disaster & Emergency Services, State, and Federal emergency services may not be immediately available. A delay in off-campus emergency services may be expected (up to 48 - 72 hours).
4. A major emergency may be declared by the Montana State University President or designated alternate if information indicates that such a condition is developing or is probable.
5. Any incident which has the potential for adverse publicity concerning campus resources, and/or instrumentalities of the University should be promptly reported to the Director of University Relations at extension 4571 and the MSU President at extension 2341. During non-business hours report these incidents to the University Police at extension 2121.

106.00

Declaration of Campus State of Emergency

The authority to declare a campus state of emergency rests with the Montana State University President or alternate as follows:

When conditions are present that meet the definition of a campus major emergency or disaster, the University Police Department, as required, shall place into immediate effect the appropriate procedures necessary in order to meet the emergency, safeguard persons and property, and maintain educational facilities. The University Police shall immediately consult with the Montana State University Operation Director regarding the emergency and follow all directions as set forth in section 300 of this response plan.

When declaration of a campus STATE OF EMERGENCY is made only registered students, faculty, staff and affiliates (i.e., persons required by employment) are authorized to be present on campus. Those who cannot present proper identification (registration or employee identification card, or other I.D.) showing their legitimate business on campus will be asked to leave the campus. Unauthorized persons remaining on campus may be subject to arrest in accordance with applicable Montana codes.

In addition, only those faculty and staff members who have been assigned emergency resource team duties or issued an emergency pass by the University Police Department will be allowed to enter the immediate disaster site.

Declaration of a campus STATE OF EMERGENCY rests solely with the Emergency Director (MSU President or alternate) and should however, be made in consultation with the Coordinator of Gallatin County Disaster and Emergency Services. The Gallatin County DES Coordinator can provide MSU with assistance in obtaining outside resources, which will be required to successfully mitigate the human and financial impact of disasters and emergencies.

107.00

Communications and Media Relations

A critical aspect of an organization's strength is its ability to communicate effectively in an emergency. This requires thoughtful proactive planning, which lays out the fundamental structure and systems for external and internal response to a wide variety of events and conditions. Since all possible scenarios cannot be planned for in detail, a well-developed plan requires detailing of responsibilities, procedures and action plans that address general categories of emergencies and crises.

The responsibility of the Director of University Relations is to ensure all departments and appropriate staff are informed of the media procedures. This will be critical to successful implementation of the plan in the event of an emergency. Effective response will also depend on the following:

1. Timely response to media requests
2. Effective utilization of the available resources, both internal and external
3. Clear definition of the roles and responsibilities of individual staff members and departments
4. Carefully planned communications with all interested parties
5. A relationship with media organizations that fosters their playing a supportive role in our communication efforts
6. Periodic reevaluation and update of this plan to incorporate administrative and organizational changes, as well as other changes which need to be considered in the plan, such as new buildings systems, new types of labs, etc.

VIOLENT OR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

IN AN EMERGENCY CALL 2121

The University Police Department is located in the Huffman Building and provides you with 24-hour help and protection. This service is provided seven days a week on a year around basis.

1. Everyone is asked to assist in making the campus a safe place by being alert to suspicious situations and promptly reporting them.

2. If you are a victim or witness to any on-campus offense AVOID RISKS!

3. Promptly notify University Police at 2121 as soon as possible and report the incident, include the following information:
   1. Nature of the incident.
   2. Location of the incident.
   3. Description of person(s) involved.
   4. Description of property involved.

4. If you observe a criminal act or whenever you observe a suspicious person on campus, immediately notify University Police at 2121 and report the incident.

5. Assist the officers when they arrive by supplying them with all additional information and ask others to cooperate.

6. Should gunfire or discharged explosives hazard the campus, you should take cover immediately using all available concealment. After the disturbance seek emergency aid if necessary.

7. WHAT TO DO IF TAKEN HOSTAGE:
   1. Be patient. Time is on your side. Avoid drastic action.
   2. The initial 45 minutes are the most dangerous. Follow instructions, be alert and stay alive. The captor is emotionally imbalanced. Don't make mistakes which could hazard your well-being.
   3. Don't speak unless spoken to and then only when necessary. Don't talk down to the captor who may be in an agitated state. Avoid appearing hostile. Maintain eye contact with the captor at all times if possible, but do not stare. Treat the captor like royalty.
   4. Try to rest. Avoid speculating. Comply with instructions as best you can. Avoid arguments. Expect the unexpected.
   5. Be observant. You may be released or escape. The personal safety of others may depend on your memory.
   6. Be prepared to answer the police on the phone. Be patient, wait. Attempt to establish rapport with the captor. If medications, first aid, or restroom privileges are needed by anyone, say so. The captors in all probability do not want to harm persons held by them. Such direct action further implicates the captor in additional offenses.

   IMPORTANT: After any evacuation, report to your designated campus area assembly point. Stay there until an accurate HEADCOUNT is taken. The Building Safety Officer will take attendance and assist in accounting for all building occupants.
