D: Emergency Communication Systems
All JSU employees are responsible for keeping informed of emergencies by monitoring news media
reports, JSU’s web home page, by calling the JSU Police Department (256-782-5050), email and phone
alert messages. To rapidly communicate with your employees in an emergency, we encourage all
departments to prepare and maintain a call tree.
Note below the system(s) you will use to contact your employees in an emergency. Departments should
identify multiple communication systems that can be used for backup, after hours, when not on campus,
or for other contingencies.

E: Emergency Access to Information and Systems
If access to your department’s information and systems is essential in an emergency, describe your
emergency access plan below. This may include remote access (or authorization to allow remote
access), contacting IT support, Blackboard, off-site data backup, backup files on flash drives, hard
copies, Blackberry/Treo or use of alternate email systems (e.g., Yahoo). Identify what critical data and
records are backed up, whether the back up is stored on-site or off-site. Simulate a failure scenario that
tests the ability to recover “lost” critical data. Describe how your department will respond to the
destruction of critical data. List essential functions that will need to have remote access to systems and
individual’s authorized to perform temporary but critical “work from home”.
