In accordance with the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the National
Incident Management System (NIMS), the District Comprehensive Emergency Operations
Plan (CEOP) is both NIMS and SIMS compliant. It is designed to meet any possible emergency.
All district full time employees are required to take state, federal and emergency
operations plan disaster training within one year of employment. This insures that
all staff, faculty, administrators and executives are familiar with the procedures/protocol
established to maintain the safest environment possible during an emergency or disaster.
The CEOP:
Follows an "all hazards" approach to prevent, prepare, and respond and recover from
a disaster.
Extends to all levels of the campus community to prevent situations that may cause
emergencies.
Identifies necessary preparation and procedures to follow if a disaster occurs.
Develops relationships between the campus responder community and local, state and
federal agencies to effectively mitigate a crisis.
Assists the campus community with recovery and a timely resumption of college operations
through the Continuity of Operations Plans.
