8 You Must Provide Emergency Information to Your Students Go over emergency procedures during the first day of class – where to go, what to do, etc. Students will follow your lead, so stay calm. You Must be Prepared Personally The College will be stretched very thin to just take care of students and the injured/displaced. We will need faculty and staff to be personally prepared at home so they can HELP. Get emergency supplies into your office, car, and home. Update your personal evacuation plan. You can start by going to or Faculty Roles & Responsibilities (cont’d)

9 Choose Your Assembly Area (local), Know Your Role There, and Help Evacuate When you evacuate your home, office, or classroom you should have a pre-designated place to meet after evacuation (a.k.a., the Assembly Area). During evacuations, assist those in need or the disabled to safely exit the facility. Know when to avoid elevators and be aware of alternate exit routes. At the Assembly Area, take note of who is there, who did not/could not evacuate, and who may have chosen to go home. Share information with the Floor Captain(s). Meet emergency workers and share what you know about what’s happening inside. In the event of a full-scale campus closure, Building Marshals/Floor Captains will receive notification in their Assembly Areas of next steps. Faculty/staff leadership roles will continue during a full-scale evacuation. Faculty Roles & Responsibilities (cont’d)

10 What to Do For EARTHQUAKE, FIRE ALARM, OR CIVIL UNREST EARTHQUAKE: Duck, cover, and hold until the shaking stops. Then, head to the Assembly Area. FIRE ALARM: Evacuate whether there is smoke and/or fire or not. Head to the Assembly Area. CIVIL UNREST: If outdoors, leave the immediate vicinity and take cover.

Faculty Roles & Responsibilities (cont’d) 11 Faculty Can Help in Other Ways Faculty members are invited to volunteer for Campus Emergency Response Teams (CERT). Some faculty members may have special skills (nursing, counseling, HazMat) and can help. Faculty Must Report Mt. SAC’s “Academic Capacity” Up the Chain Soon after a disaster, such as an earthquake, District leadership will need solid information to determine if classes can be resumed. Supervisory/phone trees should be in place to facilitate this. Faculty, Department Chairs, and Deans should report, using their existing lines of communication, on the status and welfare of their staff, the status of their facilities, and their ability to teach. Faculty may have to “get creative” in how they communicate with each other and in finding non-traditional places and ways to hold classes, including via the internet.
