Annex A contains the local contingency plans for various elements of The George Washington University. The purpose of a local contingency plan is to provide department specific information to support local preparation for, response to, and recovery from an incident. A local contingency plan includes procedures and policies for the department, including expectations and responsibilities, contact information, and post-evacuation rendezvous points. READ more about Annex A.
A local contingency plan provides geographically specific information and covers specific locations. Such places maybe surrounding buildings with the capability to shelter the number of people working in/or occupying the department. A contingency plan should name more than one such place in different locations in case an incident also affects an area identified as a rendezvous or an alternate work site.
Local contingency plans include the following:
- designate responsible individuals within the geography covered and invests them with authority;
- explains expectations and local procedures in case of an incident
- identifies tasks that need to be performed, before, during and after an incident;
- identifies key locations for incident planning and response, including locations of emergency equipment, escape routes, and post-evacuation rendezvous points;
- describes the priorities of the person signing the plan, including people, research, offices, and functions; and
- explains how the people the plan intends protect should respond during an incident to the degree necessary.
This annex is located in the password secure portion of the Incident Manual, so that only approved members of the GW community will have access to these plans. Personal contact information for individuals has been excluded from the online version of the plan to maintain privacy. The Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management maintain the current, complete version of plans.
