Notifying Staff about the initiation of Emergency Response Measures

1) Notifying On Campus Staff
On campus, as soon as it has been determined that Emergency Response Measures will be initiated, the program manager, supervisor and/or designees will notify all staff via telephone, walkie-talkie, computer email, and/or in-person contact.

Regardless of the conditions, these communications will be conducted in a professional and calm manner so that students will not be unduly frightened or agitated.

If conditions require that Emergency Response Measures must be initiated or directed from Central Administration, a member of the Senior Management Team will telephone or have in-person contact with a campus/program manager or supervisor. Campus/program procedures will then be implemented.

2) Notifying Hillcrest Central Office Administration

a. A student or staff requiring hospitalization.
