What to Do When the Level Changes

Letter of Promulgation

I am pleased to announce the revision of California State University, Fullerton's Emergency Operations Plan. This Plan addresses the challenges and responsibilities of pre-event mitigation and post-event recovery in addition to preparedness and response. It conforms to the tenets of the California State Emergency Plan and the Standardized Emergency Management System.

The purpose of this Plan is to provide the framework for coordination and full mobilization of university and external resources. It clarifies strategies to 1) prepare for, 2) respond to, and 3) recover from an emergency or disaster incident that could impact the campus or the region. As part of this strategy, this plan:

• Identifies authorities and assigns responsibilities for planning, response, and recovery activities,
• Identifies the scope of potential hazards that form the basis for planning,
  Establishes the emergency management organizational structure that will manage the response,
• Identifies those Divisions, departments or units of California State University, Fullerton tasked with specific responsibility for carrying out the plans and operations defined with the Annexes of this plan,
• Identifies other jurisdictions and organizations with whom planning and emergency response activities should be coordinated, and
• Outlines the process of disseminating emergency information and instructions to the campus population.

It is my expectation that divisions or department identified as being tasked with the development and maintenance of standard operating procedures and checklists for contingency operations, actively participate in the planning process with the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator to ensure that their assigned responsibilities actively support implementation of this Plan.

Personnel assigned specific emergency responsibilities must have a working knowledge of functions and actions described herein. The enclosed emergency action checklists will provide guidance for each function to be performed.

Division and departments not tasked with campus-wide emergency responsibilities must also conduct emergency planning to ensure that they can resume normal operation as soon as possible after an emergency event. The emergency coordinator is a resource in this effort.

This Plan is a dynamic document. An annual assessment process, accompanied by rigorous testing and review will ensure that this Plan does not become another "manual on the shelf."
