General Information
1. Introduction
The Santa Clara University Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) establishes policies, procedures,
and an organizational structure for response to major emergencies affecting the campus. The
Plan incorporates operating procedures from the Incident Command System (ICS), the
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), National Incident Management System
(NIMS), and the Master Mutual Aid Agreement (MMAA) for handling major emergencies
which could disrupt normal campus operations such as, but not limited to: fires, floods,
storms, earthquakes, hazardous materials incidents, terrorist threats and other potential
disasters. These potential emergencies have been identified through a risk assessment
process. This plan was developed to establish the structure and procedures to mitigate the
potential consequences of a major emergency that threatens the health and safety of Santa
Clara University students, faculty, staff, visitors, and the general public.
Additionally, to be eligible for federal reimbursement of qualifying emergency expenditures,
Santa Clara University (SCU) is required to use the California Standardized Emergency
Management System (SEMS) when the University’s Emergency Operations Group is activated,
or a Local Emergency is declared or proclaimed. This Emergency Operations Plan is in
conformance with these requirements.
Section Idescribes the types of emergencies and how Santa Clara University’s emergency
management organization and structure responds to these situations including how SCU
integrates within the SEMS framework.
Section II -- focuses on the initial emergency response by the SCU Incident Commander. It
provides an overview to establish the Incident Command System.
Section III -- addresses extended emergency operations functions and procedures for Santa
Clara University including the transition to the recovery phase.
Section IV -- addresses both short and long term recovery operations for the University and
procedures for obtaining insurance and disaster assistance funds for damage restoration and
mitigation projects.
Section V provides the authorities and references on which this plan is based.
2. Plan Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe the structure, authority, responsibility, functions
and operations of Santa Clara University as related to emergency preparedness, response,
recovery, mitigation and training. To meet the needs of all users, this Plan provides both a
general concept of operations, organization charts (Attachment 1) and detailed action
checklists by the designated Emergency Operations Plan position (Attachment 2).
The planning, training, response and recovery priorities for the University are:
1. Life saving
2. Life safety
3. Environmental protection
6
4. Real and intellectual property protection
5. Resumption of normal business activities
This Emergency Operations Plan addresses the coordinated response to, the management of,
and recovery from extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural disasters,
technological incidents and security emergencies affecting the University. This Plan
accomplishes the following:
Establishes the emergency management organization required to mitigate a
significant emergency or disaster affecting Santa Clara University.
Identifies the policies, responsibilities and procedures required to protect health and
safety, University property, and mitigate the environmental effects of natural,
technological or human-caused emergencies and disasters.
Establishes the operational concepts and procedures for the coordination of field
response with Santa Clara University’s Emergency Operations Group activities.
3. Plan Scope
The Emergency Operation Plan applies to all Santa Clara University personnel, buildings,
grounds, and properties operated by the University.
4. Plan Assumptions
The Emergency Operation Plan is based on a systematic approach to the problems likely to be
encountered by the University during a major emergency or disaster. This Plan is based on the
following assumptions:
General Assumptions:
A majority of Faculty, Staff and Students will be able to leave the campus and go home
until the emergency is declared over and the campus is once again operational.
Responsibility for emergency preparedness rests with all faculty, staff and students of
the University. Individual employee and student levels of personal preparedness will
affect the overall preparedness of the University.
Timely warning and alert notification, when used effectively, will decrease life and
property losses.
Organizational preparedness and training is essential to effective emergency
operations and adequate pre-emergency testing of facilities and equipment will
increase their reliability during emergencies.
The nature and extent of an emergency will govern which elements of the emergency
organization will mobilize, activate and/or respond.
Building Evacuation Leads will direct building evacuations. Faculty, who are in the
classroom, will verify that their classrooms are cleared and equipment/processes that
could create a hazard are shut down before meeting their students at the evacuation
assembly point or shelter in place location.
An emergency or disaster can occur at any time with little or no warning. Disasters
may affect widespread areas; therefore, city, county, and federal emergency
assistance may not be available for as long as 72 hours.
Since events during an emergency or disaster are not predictable, the Emergency
Operation Plan serves as a guide. On-the-scene judgment based on actual
7
circumstances must be the final guide for protecting lives, property and the
environment.
SCU community individuals will each have three-day emergency kit that includes:
o Food (including any special diet needs);
o Water 1.5 liters minimum ; and
o Medication and First Aid Kit.
SCU may be required to provide shelter for disaster victims from the surrounding
community until other arrangements can be made.
Function/Department Specific Assumptions:
Office of Student Life will account for student status and the Office of the Provost will
account for Academic Departments’ status.
Facilities and Campus Safety will remain fully operational.
Facilities will ensure:
o Diesel available for six days of generator operations
o Gasoline available for six days of SCU vehicle operations
o 25,000 gallons of potable water available
o Back-up toilet capability
Housing will maintain reserves for emergency bedding for 2000 people.
Bon Appetit will maintain a three-day food supply for 3000 people. Bon Appetit, has
four kitchens that could be utilized for food service: Benson Center, Nobili, Adobe
Lodge and the Jesuit Community kitchen.
Departments will have emergency plans in place that will include:
o Key contact information
o Staff rosters
Athletics and Recreation will establish emergency shelters and prepare for relocation
to off-campus sites as needed.
Planning and Projects building survey teams will provide building status.
EHS will manage the cleanup of hazardous material spills.
Cowell Health Center, EMT, and ROTC cadre will provide at least first echelon medical
care. Cowell Health Center and Campus Ministry will provide counseling services.
Communications Assumptions:
OMC will manage mass communications to the campus community both on and off
campus and the Press.
Benson Center will serve as the SCU community information center.
IT will have an operational emergency web site.
SCU radio station will support information flow if operational.
5. Authorities and References
This Plan is promulgated under the authority of the SCU President. Overall management and
implementation of this plan is delegated to the Assistant Vice President of Operations. This
Plan is based on Federal and State laws and incorporates Santa Clara University policies and
procedures. A listing of references can be found in Section V.
8
Chain of Succession
In the event that the President is unavailable, the authority and responsibility to proclaim a
State of Emergency and activate the Emergency Operation Group shall follow this chain of
succession:
1. Provost
2. Vice President, Administration and Finance
3. University Legal Counsel
4. Vice President, Enrollment Management
5. Vice President, University Relations
6. Plan Modifications and Distribution
The University’s Emergency Operations Plan will be reviewed regularly and revised, if
necessary. The Plan may be modified as a result of post-incident analyses and/or post-exercise
critiques and it may be modified if responsibilities, procedures, laws, rules or regulations
pertaining to emergency management and operations change. All those with Policy,
Emergency Operations or Recovery responsibilities will be notified of modifications and will be
responsible for maintaining a current, hard copy of this plan. A record of modifications to this
Plan is maintained by the Emergency Planning Manager and recorded on page 2.
7. Training
Every SCU Administrator, Dean, Department Chair, and Director has the following general
responsibilities prior to an emergency:
Develop and maintain a Contact List for notifying all faculty and staff in case of an
emergency.
Develop and maintain a list of employees who would be on duty at any particular
time.
Allow time for faculty and staff to train in emergency techniques such as first aid, CPR
and building evacuation.
Educate students and/or faculty and staff members concerning the University’s
emergency procedures as well as evacuation procedures for their building and/or
activity.
Have instructors review emergency procedures at the start of each quarter’s classes.
Report immediately any identified safety hazards to the EHS Director (existing safety
hazards can become critical hazards during an emergency).
8. Emergency Exercises
The best method of training for emergencies is through exercises. Training exercises allow the
University staff to become familiar with the procedures, facilities, equipment and systems that
they will actually use in emergency situations. Santa Clara University will conduct an
emergency exercise of varying size and scope at least annually.

Section I Concept of Operations
1. Levels of Emergencies
In the majority of SCU emergency incidents, there are two typical scenarios:
The emergency incident can be managed by internal SCU resources as part of their normal
operations (example: a limited water leak would be corrected and the damage repaired
by the Facilities Department); or
External responders such as the Fire or Police departments take command of the incident
(example: vehicle fire in an SCU parking lot would be extinguished by the Santa Clara Fire
Department).
However, significant incidents may require a greater level of emergency response. Significant
incidents are those in which the campus is unable to operate normally and/or SCU is unable to
address the incident with the normal resources. Based on the severity and duration of the
event and the impact on local and regional response resources, there are three levels of
emergencies:
Level I MINOR TO MODERATE EMERGENCY: An event that occurs on the campus and is
managed using normal response actions. The event can be handled with existing University
resources or with outside help with little or no impact on campus operations. The Policy and
Emergency Operations Groups are not activated.
Level II MODERATE TO SEVERE EMERGENCY: An event or events that interrupt campus
operations. Depending on the severity and duration of the event, and its impact on
operations, the Policy and Emergency Operations Groups may be activated.
Level III MAJOR EMERGENCY: An area-wide catastrophic event. Local resources are
overwhelmed and may not be available for a prolonged period of time. All normal campus
operations are interrupted. The Policy and Emergency Operations Groups are activated.
2. Activation of the Emergency Operations Plan
The Incident Command System may be implemented for minor through major emergencies.
The Policy and Emergency Operation Groups are typically activated for moderate to severe or
major emergencies. However the Policy and Emergency Operation Groups can be activated by
order of the President or his designee at any time the circumstances warrant it. The Policy
Group’s purpose is to support the President in setting overall priorities for response and
recovery operations. The Emergency Operations Group’s role is to manage resources and
communications in the support of the Incident Command Group responding to incidents on
campus. The Policy and Emergency Operations Groups can be activated in whole or in part,
as the needs of the emergency dictate.
Since events during an emergency or disaster are not predictable, staffing is determined by
on-the-scene judgment based on actual circumstances and the judgment of those in command
whether it is the Incident Commander, the Emergency Operations Director or the SCU
President. However, the Policy and Emergency Operations Groups will automatically be
activated to a level appropriate to the scope of the emergency, when:
10
There is the existence or threatened existence of a Level II or III emergency that only
affects the University; or
When the City of Santa Clara declares a State of Local Emergency; or
When the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency for an area that includes the
University; or
When the U.S. President declares a national emergency for an area that includes the
University.
3. Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Purpose
All emergency response and management agencies in the State of California use the
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) to respond to, manage and recover
from disasters. Using a common system can result in coordinated management and
teamwork. The system is based on simplicity, flexibility, and common terminology. The State
has mandated that all counties, cities, special districts and other organizations use SEMS in a
disaster. Santa Clara University qualifies as a special district. Failure to use the SEMS may
render the University ineligible for Federal reimbursement funds.
SEMS requires the use of basic principles and components of emergency management,
including the Incident Command System (ICS), multi- agency or inter-agency coordination, the
Operational Area concept, and established Mutual Aid systems. There are five designated
levels in the SEMS organization: field response, local government, operational area, regional,
and state. Each level is activated as needed. Santa Clara University, as a nonprofit
educational institution, reports to and receives information and resources from the Santa
Clara County Operational Area EOG. Table 1 on the next page depicts the SEMS levels and
how they interact.

4. Mutual Aid
Santa Clara University in located within the Santa Clara County Operational Area. Requests for
and coordination of mutual aid support will normally be accomplished through the Santa Clara
County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center. The request should specify, at a
minimum the following information:
Number and type of personnel needed.
Type and amount of equipment/supplies needed.
Reporting time and location.
Who resources should report to.
Access routes.
Estimated duration of operations.
A Mutual Aid Resource Request Form can be found in Attachment 3.

Section II Initial Response
1. Introduction
This section of the Emergency Operations Plan addresses the initial response by field responders to
emergencies, allowing for transition from routine emergencies to a disaster. Experience has shown that the
outcome of many emergencies can be greatly mitigated by effective initial response actions. At Santa Clara
University, the Incident Command System (ICS) will be considered for use on all incidents that requires its
organization and structure. In order for ICS to be used at incidents, the first trained emergency responder on
scene will take the following basic actions:
Establish the Incident Command Post (ICP).
Determine the size and scope of the incident.
Determine the ICS organizational elements required.
Request additional resources necessary to mitigate the incident.
Delegate authority within the ICS organizational structure.
Develop the Incident Action Plan, incorporating the incident objectives and strategies.
By taking these basic actions, the change from a one-person response to a several hundred person response
involves no change in the management system. The built-in capability for modular development helps to
shape the organization based on the functional needs of the incident. Attachment 4 contains more
information on the ICS.
2. Field Response and Field Incident Commander
The first trained responder on the scene will become the Field Incident Commander (IC) and establish an
Incident Command Post to direct field operation. Communications will be by means of radios, cell phones, or
by message forms and runners if normal communication systems are not operating. If the Emergency
Operations Group is activated then the Field IC(s) will communicate and coordinate directly with the
Operations Section Chief.
The SCU Field IC manages emergency scene actions until an External Responder assumes command. The SCU
Field IC then transitions to be the Field Incident Liaison between the External Field Incident Commander and
SCU to provide needed resources and support. The Field IC establishes a field response organization using ICS
principals to manage the event.
3. Evacuations/Lockdowns
Building Evacuation Leads manage evacuations to ensure occupants exit from the building as safely as
possible to the Emergency Assembly Points. Faculty, who are in the classroom, will ensure their students are
led to an evacuation assembly point or lockdown in place as instructed by emergency communications.
If the emergency is minor or localized then the Building Evacuation Leads wait for first responders to arrive to
report the building status. If a major, widespread emergency where first responders do not arrive, the
Building Evacuation Leads call Emergency Operations Center at extension 4742 (408-554-4742). If telephone
service is unavailable, the Building Evacuation Leads send a report to the Emergency Operations Center of any
injuries/deaths, suspected missing people, and observed building/utilities damage (Attachment 5 contains the
report form).
Following the sudden-onset of a major disaster and after buildings have been evacuated, students who live in
the Residence Halls should report to their Hall to check in and receive further instructions. Students who do
not live in the Residence Halls should report to the Leavey Center to check in and receive further instructions.
Faculty and staff register with their Departments before leaving campus. Those who have had HEAT/CERT,
14
First Aid, AED or other training that would be beneficial in an emergency are encouraged to volunteer to
support the campus emergency response efforts. Volunteers may support duties such as messaging, traffic
and crowd control, care and shelter services. Those wishing to volunteer should report to Benson Center for
assignment.
Section III Extended Operations
1. Concept of Operations
During a disaster/emergency, the University’s Policy Group assists the President in setting response and
recovery priorities and the Emergency Operations Group supports field response operations in mitigating
incidents on the campus. The primary emphasis will be placed on saving lives, protecting property, and
preserving the environment. The Emergency Operations Group will operate using the Standardized
Emergency Management System (SEMS) functions, principles, and components. It will implement the action
planning process to develop an Incident Action Plan, identifying and implementing specific objectives for each
Operational Period. The Emergency Operations Group’s Mutual Aid Officer will also serve as the coordination
and communications link between University and the Santa Clara County Operational Area EOG.
2. The Policy Group
The responsibility of the Policy Group is to set overall priorities for response and recovery operations, after
considering the social, economic, legal and political ramifications of the proposed activities. They also approve
policies regarding emergency operations prior to an event. Within the Policy Group, resides the Public
Information Officer (Media Relations) who communicates to the media and the SCU Campus Community. The
Emergency Operations Group Liaison provides the link between the Policy Group, the University President and
the Emergency Operations Group.
Before leaving the campus, faculty and staff register with their departments who in turn, roll up their
emergency status reports to their respective management whether it is the Provost, VP Administration &
Finance, University Legal Counsel, VP Enrollment Management or VP University Relations. Attachment 1
contains the organizational chart for the Policy Group.
In an emergency, the Policy Group uses the normal communication channels. If the normal communication
channels and/or utilities are unavailable or sporadic, the Policy Group reports to their primary location in the
Walsh Administration Building.
Policy Group Primary Location: Walsh Administration Building
Policy Group Secondary Location: Fishbowl Conference Room, Facilities Building (utilized when normal
communication channels and/or utilities are unavailable).
If neither location is usable, then the Emergency Operations Director will designate a location for the Policy
Group. If there is any concern regarding where to meet, the Policy Group reports to their primary location for
further instructions.
3. Emergency Operations Group
The role of the Emergency Operations Group is to manage resources and communications in the support of
Incident Command Group responding to incidents on campus. The level of Emergency Operations Group
staffing will vary with the specific emergency situation. If normal communication channels are unavailable,
the Emergency Operations Group meets in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The role of the EOC is to
provide a secure location for the Emergency Operations Group to manage resources and communications in
the support of University staff and others responding to incidents on the campus.
EOG Primary Location: Team Room, Facilities Building (EOC)
If the primary location is unavailable for any reason, the EOG will be set up in a secondary location.
EOG Secondary Location: Campus Safety Building
15
If neither EOG location is usable, then the Emergency Operations Director will designate a location for the
EOG. If normal communication channels are sporadic and there is any concern regarding where to meet, the
Emergency Operations Group members report to their Primary Location for further instructions.
The organizational structure of the Emergency Operations Group can be found in Attachment 1. Below are
the positions found in the SCU Emergency Operations Group. Checklists of suggested activities and actions for
each of these positions can be found in Attachment 2.
4. Emergency Operations Director
The Emergency Operations Director is responsible for the overall management of the Emergency Operations
Group. The Emergency Operations Director assures that the priorities of the President and Policy Group are
fully understood and addressed by all Sections in the Emergency Operations Group. Additionally the
Emergency Operations Director is responsible for the overall allocation of resources across the campus
emergency operations.
5. Emergency Operations Staff:
Safety Officer - oversees the general safety of the Emergency Operations Group and the Policy Group.
Security Officer - provides security for the Emergency Operations Group and the Policy Group, if needed.
Mutual Aid Officer- provides a communication link between the Emergency Operations Group and outside
Mutual Aid and other support organizations.
6. Operations Section
The Operations Section Chief is responsible for managing all field response to the disaster. The Operations
Section carries out assignments prioritized by the Emergency Operations Director. The Operations Section
Chief supports the development of the Incident Action Plan (IAP) and is responsible for the implementation of
the IAP. Depending on the nature of the emergency the Operation Section can have one or more of the
following branches:
Field Incident Commander(s)/Liaison(s)
Public Safety
Medical Services (additional details in Functional Plans in Attachment 6)
Care and Shelter (additional details in Functional Plans in Attachment 6)
Facilities/Utilities (additional details in Functional Plans in Attachment 6)
7. Planning /Assessment Section
The Planning/Assessment Section Chief is responsible for the collection, analyses, and dissemination of the
incident information. Additionally, the Planning/Assessment Section is responsible for developing the Incident
Action Plan with the input from the other Emergency Operation Sections. The Planning/Assessment Section
evaluates the campus building and utility status, develops the Incident Action Plan based on the
building/utility assessments and information from other EOG Sections, documents the Emergency Operations
Group actions, and maintains all the necessary ICS documentation. The Planning/Assessment Section also
prepares the plan which provides a blueprint for the short term recovery efforts that support (or at a
minimum, do not hinder) the long term recovery. The Planning/Assessment Section carries out assignments
prioritized by the Emergency Operations Director. Depending on the nature of the emergency the
Planning/Assessment Section can have one or more of the following branches:
Incident Action Plan Development
Building Assessment
Utility Assessment
EOG Documentation Unit
Construction and Engineering (for immediate recovery efforts to enable emergency response)
16
8. Logistics Section
The Logistics Section Chief is responsible for providing and tracking all resources needed for managing the
disaster including staff and volunteers, equipment, facilities, materials, supplies, food and water, and
contracted services. The Logistics Section also sets up and maintains emergency communications. The
Logistics Section carries out assignments prioritized by the Emergency Operations Director. Depending on the
nature of the emergency the Logistics Section can have one or more of the following branches:
Procurement
Transportation and Equipment
Information Technology Systems
Food Service (additional details in Function Specific Plans in Attachment 6)
Communications to the Campus Community (additional details in Function Specific Plans in
Attachment 6)
Human Resources
Volunteer Coordination (additional details in Function Specific Plans in Attachment 6)
9. Finance/Administration Section
The Finance/Administration Section Chief is responsible for providing financial and cost analysis services. This
section supervises negotiation and administration of vendor contracts. It starts special payroll services (if
necessary) and maintains records for insurance, State and Federal reimbursement. The
Finance/Administration Section carries out assignments prioritized by the Emergency Operations Director.
Depending on the nature of the emergency the Finance/Administration Section can have one or more of the
following branches:
Cost and Accounting
Risk Management, Compensation and Claims
Timekeeping
10. Incident Action Plan
It is important that all incidents have some type of an Incident Action Plan. The plan may be oral or written.
Short-term or single agency incidents (such as a Santa Clara Police or Fire Department response) do not
require written Incident Action Plans. As incidents become larger, or require multi-agency involvement, the
Incident Action Plan should be written. Incident Action Plans will vary in content and complexity depending
upon the kind and size of the incident. An Incident Action Plan Form can be found in Attachment 7.
The use of Incident Action Plans in the Emergency Operations Group provides a clear and measurable process
for identifying objectives and priorities for a given event. The incident action planning process should involve
the Emergency Operations Director and Section Chiefs, along with other Emergency Operations staff, as
needed. Action planning is an important management tool that involves:
Setting objectives for emergency response or recovery efforts based on priorities set by the Incident
Commander.
Documenting the priorities and objectives, and the tasks and personnel assignments associated with
meeting the objectives.
Incident Action Plans have four main elements:
Incident Objectives - Statement of what was accomplished in the last Operational Period and what is
expected to be achieved in the next Operational Period. Objectives must be measurable.
Tactics and Assignments - Describes general objectives and tactics for controlling the incident including
a safety message and the current assignments in the Emergency Operations Group.
Organization - Describes what elements of the ICS organization will be in place for the next Operational
17
Period.
Supporting Material - Examples could include an incident map, a summary of resources that have been
ordered or used, a communications plan, weather data and special precautions.
The Planning/Assessment Section is responsible for facilitating the action planning meeting and completing
and distributing the Incident Action Plan. The Planning and Assessment Group relies on information provided
by the other Emergency Operation Group Sections particularly the Operations Section. Incident Action Plans
are developed for a specified Operational Period, which may range from a few hours to 24 hours. The
Operational Period is determined by first establishing a set of priority actions that need to be performed and
then establish a reasonable time frame for accomplishing those actions.
11. Emergency Communications
For notification of activation of the Policy or Emergency Operations Groups, there are three means of
notification:
1. Policy or Emergency Operation Group members will receive a phone call;
2. Emergency notification by text, voice message and/or email through SCU Campus Alert (SCU’s mass
notification system); or
3. If normal communication channels are not available or sporadic, then the Policy Group should report
to the Walsh Administration Building and the Emergency Operations Group should report to the
Facilities Building.
As a last resort within the Emergency Operations Group, the Emergency Operations Group Message Form will
be used to provide written communications between the Sections, Branches and Units if email or telephone
communications are not available. A sample of this form can be found in Attachment 8. The message form
will not replace face-to-face communications, but will ensure a paper trail of critical verbal communication is
maintained.
Communication to the Campus Community will be accomplished through the SCU Campus Alert system, the
SCU website, and email. If these forms of communication are not available then a communications hub will
be established at Benson Center to disseminate information.
12. Transition to Recovery Operations
As the threat to life, property, and the environment dissipates, the Emergency Operations Director will
consider deactivating the Emergency Operations Group and launch the recovery efforts. The Emergency
Operations Director will direct Section Chiefs to deactivate their Sections not involved in recovery, ensuring
that each Unit/Branch/Section that was activated provides its logs and files to the Cost/Accounting Branch.
The Cost/Accounting Branch will organize these materials so they can be archived and/or utilized for the
financial recovery process.
Depending on the level of recovery effort, a Recovery Manager may be appointed to coordinate the recovery
effort, ensuring that all damaged buildings, facilities and services are restored. In coordination with the
Recovery Manager, the Cost/Accounting Branch will prepare the After-Action Report, ensuring that the
information is available if requested by the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Services within 90 days of
the disaster/event.
18
Section IV Recovery Operations
1. Concept of Operations
The Emergency Operations Center closes once the emergency has been mitigated. If recovery operations are
needed then the normal operational groups will assume responsibility for the recovery efforts including:
Assessment of the extent and severity of damages to University property and infrastructure.
Repair of damaged infrastructure and property.
Restoration of services generally available prior to the disaster.
Recovery occurs in two phases: short-term and long-term. Short-term recovery operations will begin during
the response phase of the emergency.
2. Short-Term Recovery
The goal of short-term recovery is to restore the University to at least a minimal capacity. Short-term recovery
includes:
Infrastructure restoration
Re-establishment of the University’s administrative responsibilities
Debris removal
Cleanup operations
Abatement and demolition of hazardous structures
Restoring critical business functions
3. Long-Term Recovery
The goal of long-term recovery is to restore facilities to pre-disaster condition. Long-term recovery includes
hazard mitigation activities, restoration or reconstruction of facilities, and disaster response cost recovery.
The major objectives of long-term recovery operations include:
Returning University business to pre-disaster levels
Improving the University’s Emergency Operations Plan
Reimbursement for qualifying disaster costs
Effective integration of mitigation strategies into recovery planning and operations
In coordination with the American Red Cross and the Santa Clara Operational Area Office of Emergency
Services (OES), the University may be required to provide shelter for disaster victims from the surrounding
community until other arrangements can be made. This must be taken into consideration in both short and
long-term recovery planning.
4. Recovery Operations Organization and Responsibilities
The University has specific responsibilities in recovering from a disaster. The chart on the next page lists the
functional responsibilities assigned to the Policy, Emergency Operations, or Recovery groups and/or key
personnel.
Functional Responsibilities of the Recovery Group are listed on the next page:

5. Recovery Damage Assessment
The recovery damage assessment is the basis for determining the type and amount of financial assistance
necessary for recovery. This assessment is developed with the input from structural engineers and financial
analysts. This detailed assessment will be needed to apply for the various disaster financial assistance
programs. A list of mitigation priorities will need to be developed by the University.
6. Documentation
Documentation is the key to recovering eligible emergency response and recovery costs. Damage assessment
documentation will be critical in establishing the basis for eligibility of disaster assistance programs such as
the FEMA Public Assistance Program.
Debris removal and emergency response costs incurred by the affected entities should also be documented
for cost recovery purposes under the federal programs. The documenting information should include the

7. After-Action Reporting
The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) regulations require any city or county declaring a
local emergency for which the Governor proclaims a State of Emergency, to complete and transmit an After-
Action Report to OES within 90 days of the close of the incident period. The After-Action Report provides, at
a minimum, the following:
Response actions taken;
Application of SEMS;
Suggested modifications to SEMS;
Necessary modifications to plans and procedures;
Training needs; and
Recovery activities to date.
The After-Action Report serves as a source for documenting the University’s emergency response activities,
and identifying areas of concern and successes. It will also be utilized to develop a work plan for
implementing improvements. The Recovery Manager will be responsible for the completion of the
University’s After-Action Report and will provide information to the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency
Services as requested to assist them in completing their required After-Action Report to OES.

Attachment 4
Incident Command System (ICS) General Information
Incident Command System (ICS) is a nationally used, standardized, on- scene emergency management concept specifically
designed to allow its user(s) to adopt an integrated organizational structure equal to the complexity and demands of single
or multiple incidents without being hindered by agency or jurisdictional boundaries. ICS is the combination of facilities,
equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure to effectively
accomplish stated objectives critical to the mitigation of the incident.
ICS Functions
The five functions of the ICS organization are Command (Management), Operations, Planning/Assessment, Logistics, and
Finance/Administration. The five functions are responsible for:
Command (Management) is responsible for directing, and/or controlling resources by virtue of explicit legal,
agency, or delegated authority.
Operations is responsible for the coordinated tactical response of all field operations directly applicable to or in
support of the mission(s) in accordance with the Incident Action Plan.
Planning/Assessment is responsible for developing the Incident Action Plan and the collection, evaluation,
documentation, and use of information about the incident.
Logistics is responsible for providing facilities, services, personnel, equipment, and tracking the status of resources
and materials in support of the incident.
Finance/Administration is responsible for all financial and cost analysis aspects of the incident, and/or any
administrative aspects not handled by the other functions.

The principles of ICS provide for the following kind of operations:
Single jurisdictional/agency involvement.
Single jurisdictional responsibility with multiple agency involvement.
Multiple jurisdictional responsibilities with multiple agency involvement.
The system's organizational structure adapts to any incident to which emergency response agencies would expect to
respond. The system is applicable and acceptable to all user agencies. The system expands in a rapid and logical manner
from an initial response to a major incident and contracts just as rapidly as organizational needs or the situation decrease.
The system has basic common components in organization, terminology and procedures.
ICS Components
The components of ICS are:
Common terminology - common titles for organizational functions, resources, and facilities.
Modular organization - method by which the ICS organizational structure develops, based upon the type and size of
an incident. The organization's staff builds from the top down as the incident grows, with responsibility and
performance placed initially with the Incident Commander. At all incidents there will be five functions:
Management; Operations; Planning/Assessment; Logistics; and Finance/Administration. These may, as the incident
grows, be organized and staffed into Sections. Initially, the Incident Commander may be performing all five
56
functions. Then, as the incident grows, each function may be established as a Section with Branches and Units
under each Section.
Unified command structure - unified team effort that allows all agencies with responsibility for the incident, either
geographical or functional, to manage an incident by establishing a common set of incident objectives and
strategies. This is accomplished without losing or abdicating agency authority, autonomy, responsibility or
accountability.
Consolidated Action Plans - identify objectives and strategy determinations made by the Incident Commander for
the incident based upon the requirements of the University.
Manageable span-of-control - limitation on the number of emergency response or management personnel who
can effectively be supervised or directed by an individual supervisor. The type of incident, the nature of the
response or task, distance, and safety will influence the span-of- control range. The ordinary span-of-control range
is between three and seven personnel.
Comprehensive resource management - identification, grouping, assignment and tracking of resources.
Integrated communications - use of a common communications plan and an incident-based communications
center established for the use of tactical and support resources assigned to the incident.

Function Specific Plan: Shelter
In the event of an emergency, the Leavey Center and Malley Center may be used as a shelter to house any/all
campus residents and staff. Department of Athletics and Recreation staff will operate the shelter(s), as needed
and available, with assistance of other EOG Department groups (Housing & Resident Life, Student Life).
The Sports Medicine Center may be used as an additional medical facility, depending on extent of any building
damage to the Leavey Center.
The Sports Medicine staff may be utilized by the Cowell Health Center to assist with any medical situations, as
needed and available. The Athletic Media Relations staff may be called upon by the University Media Relations
Department to assist with media issues, as needed and as available.
Steps to Activate and Prepare Athletic Buildings for Shelter or Holding Area
Note: Automatic flush toilets in Leavey and Malley are on emergency power system. If power outage, back-up
generator is to power up automatically to provide lighting and limited level power.
Upon emergency occurring or call to activate the Emergency Operations Group (EOG):
1. If earthquake or fire/accident in Malley or Leavey, building(s) are evacuated. Roll call taken of Leavey staff at
Meeting Area located at Stanton Field and of Malley staff at Meeting Area located outside of front (south)
entrance.
2. Buildings inspected by University Facilities staff with assistance from Athletic Facilities staff to check
availability as shelter/holding area.
Leavey Center and Malley Center need to be inspected immediately to determine their availability as
shelters or holding area. With its glass walls, Leavey Center may not be available as a shelter,
especially if strong earthquake.
Status of Leavey or Malley availability communicated to EOG. EOG determines if buildings will be
used as holding area or shelter.
3. As shelter, it is assumed that cots, blankets, water and other supplies will be needed to house people
overnight.
4. As a holding area (for bomb threat, short power outage), supplies are not needed, unless called for by EOG.
5. Once call is made to use building(s) as shelters:
a. Call/gather staff assistance to prepare building(s). Utilize existing staff in venues (coaches, staff, and
students) and/or request additional assistance from EOG.
b. Collect and distribute athletic department radios for use during set up of venue(s). Set channel to
“Athletic 1.”
c. Prepare buildings by clearing equipment to create most floor space.
d. For Malley (Malley staff will assist with preparation, as available):
1. Raise curtains and baskets, if power is available.
2. Roll out floor tarp.

phone system. All exit signs; emergency lighting, fire alarms and suppression equipment will be operational. The
Computer Operations center and the main Uninterruptible Power System [UPS] are also powered by this
generator.
Graham Complex (Bldgs. 501/502/503/504) The Graham complex is fully operational during a commercial
outage including the elevator. This is true standby power. All power to the Graham complex is interrupted at the
main service level and is connected to the generator. Campus east water pumping station is also on the Graham
generator. All water east of the Alameda Mall can be kept at 80 psi during a water outage. Campus water crosstie
can be opened to back feed west campus.
Arts and Sciences (Bldg. 804) The generator supports all emergency lighting, exit signs, fire and intrusion
alarms.
74
Benson Center, Shapell Lounge and Bookstore (Bldgs. 301/302/303) These buildings have emergency
lighting, exit signs, and fire alarm systems powered by the generator installed at Benson Bookstore. Basement
sump pumps at Benson and basement dewatering are also on this generator allowing the facilities to be occupied
during an outage. Additional lighting was installed to bring light levels up during an outage.
Heafy Law Library (Bldg. 202) The generator powers emergency lighting, exit signs, and fire alarms and pump.
Provisions were made to accommodate Kenna and Walsh Admin at a later date.
Daly Science and Alumni Science Halls (Bldg. 207/208/211/210) Emergency lighting and exit signs are
powered by generator installed at DS100. The generator also supports long term subzero freezers for biology
materials throughout Ds100 and Alumni Science.
Music & Dance (Bldg. 114) The generator supports emergency lighting, exit signs, intrusion and fire alarms.
Mayer Theatre (Bldg. 110) This generator runs on natural gas and is a concern. During an outage caused by an
earthquake or during a gas curtailment this generator will not operate. During an electrical outage, the generator
will power the emergency lighting and exit signs in the theatre.
Nobili Hall (Bldg. 109) Emergency lighting, exit signs, kitchen equipment and exhaust fans are on this generator,
as well as, the dining room lighting. Additional capacity was added later to accommodate the walk-in cooler and
large upright freezer for long term food storage.
Walsh and McLaughlin Hall (Bldg. 304/305) The residence halls are fully operational during a commercial
outage including the elevator. This is true standby power. All power to the halls is interrupted at the main service
level and is connected to the generator.
Swig and Dunne Hall (Bldg. 307/308) Emergency lighting, exit signs, fire alarms and suppression equipment for
both Swig and Dunne are fed from generator installed just outside of Swig in the Kennedy Mall. Bathrooms,
hallway lighting and additional lobby circuits are on the generator and marked by a red cover plate. There is
some concern over code compliance with this install in regards to the fire pump.

SCU Emergency Operations Plan
Volunteer Functional Plan
Lead Department: ROTC
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Functional Plan is to ensure the most efficient and effective use of volunteers to support SCU before,
during and after emergencies.
SCOPE
This Plan provides guidance on the organization and management of volunteers during an emergency. Volunteers are
individuals who offer to assist in emergency situations without official designation in the Emergency Operations Plan or
with external emergency response agencies.
ASSUMPTION
Students, Faculty and Staff will volunteer to assist with emergency response and recovery.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
During and following a major disaster, requirements for services may exceed local and State capabilities and Volunteers will
play a major role in meeting these needs. SCU will provide leadership and direction so that Volunteer services are provided
to the areas that need it and do not get in the way of relief efforts.
The Volunteer Branch Lead will set up a Volunteer sign-in station at Benson Center. Volunteers will register and indicate
their training on the registration (First Aid trained, HEAT/CERT trained, Military training, and Other- specify or indicate no
special training).
The Volunteer Branch Lead will assess the training of the registered volunteers and match them with the requests needed
for support. Some Branches such as Food and Shelter have a standing need for volunteers. The following chart is the
estimate of volunteers needed based on Branches’ preplanning prior to an emergency:
Branch
Types of Volunteer Duties
Number of Volunteers (if known prior to
emergency)/Preferred Skills
Food Service
Serving food, cleaning tables,
dishes, maintaining queues,
restricting access to food storage
areas
20/No special skills for serving food, cleaning
5/Military training for maintaining queues and
restricting access
Shelter
Registering people for shelter,
setting up cots, maintaining
queues
TBD/No special skills for registration,
TBD/Military training for maintaining queues
Cowell Clinic
Initial assessment report, supply
runners if Clinic has to set up
outside, maintaining queues
TBD/ First aid, HEAT/CERT for initial assessment
reports, TBD/No special skills for runners,
TBD/Military training for maintaining queues
Building Assessment
Initial building assessments
TBD /HEAT/CERT trained
Communications
Runners
TBD/No special skills
Emergency Operations Group
Support as needed
TBD/Skills unknown until support defined
76
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Volunteer Branch Lead will collect the Volunteer registration forms (see attached form) and assign the Volunteers. A
simple folder system will be used to place a Volunteer’s registration form in the folder labeled for the work the Volunteer
was assigned to. Example: if 5 Heat/Cert trained Volunteers are assigned to the Building Assessment Branch then their
registrations would be placed in the Building Assessment Branch folder. The Volunteer Branch Lead is responsible for
tracking who has been assigned, the location of assignment and determines if new volunteers are needed at the end of an
eight hour shift.
Each Volunteer is provided with a Volunteer vest and an informational sheet (see attached informational sheet) that
expresses SCU’s appreciation for their service and explains the registration process and types of assignments.
The Volunteer Branch Lead works with the Communications Branch to inform Students, Faculty and Staff remaining on
campus of the Volunteer opportunities and needs to ensure a flow of new Volunteers.
SUPPLIES NEEDED
The following are the supplies needed for the Volunteer Branch:
Sign-in table
8 Clip boards (2 each for First Aid trained, HEAT/CERT trained, Military trained, and Other)
200 Volunteer registration forms
200 Volunteer informational sheets
200 Volunteer vests
50 flash lights (for night use only)
Box of file folders and file box
Chalk board to list Branch requests
10 Folding chairs for Volunteers

Volunteer Information Sheet
Santa Clara University truly appreciates that you are volunteering to assist during this emergency.
An emergency can occur at any time with little or no warning. Disasters may affect widespread areas; therefore, city,
county, and federal emergency assistance may not be available to us for as long as 72 hours. The nature and extent of this
emergency will govern what elements of emergency support will be needed.
You will be asked to complete a simple registration form so that we might be able to best match you with your prior
training. However, depending on the immediate needs, your particular training may not be utilized and you may be asked
to support needs where no training is required. We prefer Volunteers to accept 8 hour assignments (or until released by
the requesting emergency service branch). However if you can only serve less than 8 hours please indicated as such on the
registration form. Once you are assigned to an emergency support service, we will provide you with a Volunteer vest that
you are requested to wear the entire time you are volunteering. If it is night hours, we will provide you with a flashlight
also. We try to send Volunteers to their assignments in groups of no less than two if possible. Please report to your
assigned location as quickly as safe to do so and follow the directions of those in charge at the assigned location. You may
be asked to move or lift heavy objects; serve food, clean tables or dishes; set up cots; organize queues; restrict access; and
work and inhabit environments that may be without power, sanitation, or are otherwise damaged by the disaster event.
Remember, you are a Volunteer and are not expected to perform heroic tasks. If at any point, you feel unsafe in
performing the tasks that you have been assigned, please inform the management at your assigned location and if you
continue to be concerned, do not hesitate to return to the Volunteer office.
At the end of your assignment, please return to the Volunteer office to check out and return your vest (and flashlight if you
were given one). It is important that you check out so that we can provide you with any messages that might have come in
while you were working and so that we can collect your vest and flashlight for the next shift of Volunteers.
If you have any questions, please ask the Volunteer Branch Lead when you register.
Once again, Santa Clara University thanks you for volunteering in this time of need.
