Emergency Plan
The Emergency Plan (EP) for San Diego Miramar College is designed to ensure the safety and security of students, faculty, staff, and visitors in the event of emergencies. The plan is to outline the basic organization and procedures utilizing the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) for responding to an emergency affecting any location owned and operated by San Diego Community College District.
The Vice President of Administrated Services is assigned to be the point of contact for this plan. During emergencies, the VPA is the point of coordination for all operations. VPA will direct a Command Team to address key issues during emergency operations. The emergency plan outlines the command team members and their assignments they are tasked with.
The San Diego Community College District’s College Police (Campus Police) is assigned as the developer and coordinator for emergency preparedness and disaster planning. College Police will review this plan on an annual basis, to determine the plan is compliant with district’s standards and regulatory requirements.
The plan is formatted to provide the user with a district-wide consistent document for the operation and management of any emergency, which may occur at any district site. This format allows employees to understand basic roles and responsibilities regardless of where in the district they may be working. It is imperative all employees review this plan at least twice a year to ensure a basic understanding of their role and responsibility in an emergency. It is uncommon that anyone will have the time when an emergency occurs to review this entire plan, so it remains evident that understanding and practice is necessary to be prepared. Your actions during an emergency may very well save another’s life.
