The Crisis Manager (the Assistant Vice President for Public Safety and Emergency Management) should be notified by UPD or whoever first knows that an incident will occur or has begun. If the Crisis Manager is not available, the alternate (as designated in Annex D) should be contacted. The Crisis Manager/alternate or any member of the Leadership Group should:

  • Ensure the Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management has the most up-to-date contact information for notification of the President, Vice Presidents, and members of the University Incident Teams;
  • Decide which Level of Alert is appropriate; and
  • Activate the Response Management and/or Leadership Group using the information in Annex C, Appendix 2 if appropriate.

A designated spokesperson will be available and responsible for establishing a location away from the incident and the Team’s location where news media representatives (including student news media) will be supported and briefed, as the situation requires. (See Annex E for the other duties of the spokesperson).
