  1. Emergency PreparednessRequired Training SLCC

  2. Salt Lake Community College The College is committed to providing the training necessary for all employees to understand their compliance responsibilities under a variety of government regulations. Supervisors are expected to ensure all new employees, including full-time, part-time, adjunct, paid or unpaid interns, and work study employees, take the online training sessions that are offered immediately, after the employee’s hire date. Continuing employees who have not received some or all of this training, or who were trained more than two years ago, should make arrangements with their supervisor to complete the segments needed immediately.

  3. Emergency Preparedness Required Training • This required training will be divided into 4 training segments. • Segment 1: Emergency Preparedness Basics • Segment 2: Emergency Response Handbook and your responsibilities • Segment 3: OSHA Requirements • Segment 4: Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)

  4. Segment 1 • Emergency Preparedness Basics • Understanding How Emergency Preparation works • Phases of Emergency Management

  5. Phases of Emergency Management Protection (prevention) Mitigation Preparedness Recovery Response

  6. Mitigation-focuses on the impact of a hazard, represents the sustained actions a jurisdiction takes to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property. (You will be involved in mitigation activities.) Mitigation

  7. Mitigation • Involves two types: • Activities aimed at eliminating or reducing the probability of occurrence of an emergency or disaster. • Activities designed to postpone, dissipate, or lessen the effects of an emergency or disaster.

  8. Preventive Maintenance Safety Precautions Comparison Example Mitigation

  9. Preparedness Preparedness-ensures that if disaster occurs, people are ready to get through it safely, and respond to it effectively. This is done by training, information, preparation, drills, exercises. Efforts to minimize damages and lay the groundwork for response to an emergency or disaster. (You will be involved in preparedness activities.)

  10. Preparedness Your attendance at this emergency procedures workshop is a preparedness activity!

  11. Why Do We Prepare?? • In the simplest of terms: It is about saving lives! • Whose lives? Your Own Your Family Your Loved Ones Your Friends

  12. Response Response- is the actions taken in the immediate aftermath of an event to save lives, meet basic human needs, and reduce the loss of property and the effect on critical infrastructure and the environment . Provide emergency assistance, reduce damage, and reduce the probability and extent of secondary damage. (You will have only limited responsibility for response activities.)

  13. Response • These emergency procedures establish a minimum standard of carewhich you are responsible to provide as College employees. • Your department may have a much more detailed plan for you to follow as well.

  14. Recovery Recovery- is both short-term and long-term efforts for the rebuilding and revitalization of affected communities. To return all systems—both formal and informal—to normal as soon as possible (You will have only limited responsibilities for recovery activities.)

  15. Recovery • Activities are divided into two time frames: • Short term - Return critical system to minimum operating standards within two weeks • It is your responsibility to identify a plan for short term recovery for the critical function(s) you perform at the College. • If you didn’t have at least one critical function, you wouldn’t be here!

  16. Recovery • Long Term - • Return all systems to full operating standards with: • Replacement • Reconstruction • Similar related activities • Sometimes this requires several years.

  17. Protection(prevention) • Protection (Prevention)-Action taken to avoid and incident. Stopping an incident from occurring.

Remain calm. 2. Immediately close all doors and windows in the room. Turn off any area fans. 3. Move away from the envelope or package and any suspected substance but do not leave the room. 4.

If a sink is available in your work area, wash your hands, arms, and face with soap and water. 7. Wait for further instructions from responders.

  22. ANTHRAX INFORMATION ABOUT ANTHRAX EXPOSURES • If you follow the procedures above, along with directions of responders, your chance of illness is extremely low. • Maintenance may shut down building air handling units.
