Disaster Management Plan

Basic Plan

Purpose

This Disaster Management Plan (CUDMP) will be the basis to establish polices and procedures which will assure maximum and efficient utilization of all resources on the Clemson University campus, minimize the loss of life and/or injury to the population, and protect and conserve resources and facilities of Clemson University during large-scale emergencies considered to be of disaster magnitude.
For the purpose of this plan, “disaster” shall be defined as any condition – man-made or natural which results in a significant disruption to the academic mission of Clemson University. The on-set of most disasters is considered to be very rapid, allowing a minimum of time for preparation. The scale of a “disaster” is determined by the potential for loss of life, damage to facilities, and the amount of external resources necessary for the University to return to its normal academic mission.

Organization

This CUDMP is based on the principle that Clemson University will bear the initial responsibility for disaster relief on campus. When specific demands exceed the service levels available, it is understood that assistance will be requested through the Pickens County Emergency Preparedness Director and from surrounding agencies – including local, state, or Federal agencies, as needed.
It is recognized that Clemson University, as an established part of Pickens County, is included in the Pickens County Emergency Operations Plan (PCEOP).
The Clemson University Disaster Management Plan (CUDMP) will provide for local coordination of resources furnished from outside agencies responding to requests for assistance. It is understood that the University will provide such assistance to other agencies as possible when necessary.

Situation

Clemson University is vulnerable to a wide spectrum of natural and man-made disasters, including but not limited to: storms (tornado, wind thunder, hail), fires and explosions, earthquakes, dam failure, and industrial type disasters (fixed and mobile radiological emergencies and a variety of possible hazardous materials catastrophes).

Mission

Clemson University will provide for the protection of students, faculty, staff, visitors, and material resources of the campus in order to minimize injury, loss of life, and damage resulting from any kind of disaster. The administration of Clemson University will provide for continuity of management function, damage assessment, -- public and private – and immediate attention to the re-establishment of normal operations so as to support the University’s academic mission.

Execution

1. Pre-disaster Phase: Activities in this phase are designed to develop a strong University emergency response capability and to organize all levels of administration to assure full utilization of all resources by completing the following:

a) conducting public training and education programs to assure a continuing capability to accomplish disaster response objectives;
b) preparing and conducting public information programs on disasters to educate the campus population on prevention and protection measures to be taken during a disaster;
c) developing a procedure for alerting, notifying, and mobilizing key officials and emergency response personnel in the event of a disaster;
d) establishing mutual support agreements, as necessary with other local adjacent government;
e) preparing plans for disaster recovery phases from disasters; and
f) establishing the necessary emergency powers, to include a line of succession, in order to maintain a continuity of administration during any type of disaster.

2. Disaster Phase: During this phase, the operational activities of Clemson University will be accelerated to increase the state of preparedness of the campus population to meet and cope with an impending or imminent disaster – if warning is sufficient. The disaster phase shall include all of the following:

a) In the event of a disaster with little or no warning – operational activities will be direct towards protecting life and property, administering to the health and welfare of the affected population, containing or limiting damage effects, assessing damage and estimating requirements for restoring and recovering from the results of a disaster;
b) The Associate VP for Municipal Services, or designee, shall notify the Vice President of Student Affairs – or the appropriate line of succession from the President -- as to the nature of the disaster.
c) The President or designee -- shall use his/her Presidential discretion to declare a MAJOR EMERGENCY;
d) The declaration of a MAJOR EMERGENCY automatically triggers the implementation of the Clemson University Disaster Management Plan (CUDMP);
e) An Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be established as soon as possible after the declaration of a MAJOR EMERGENCY in accordance with Appendix A.

f) The necessary emergency operations will be initiated and maintained in accordancewith the attached Appendixes.

3. Recovery Phase: During this phase, University administration, the Fire and Police Departments, Facilities, Maintenance, and Operations, and other departments as needed will undertake operations necessary to administer to the sick and injured, restore law and order, stop on-going loss, repair damage to facilities and utilities, establish housing for displaced students, and provide class and laboratory facilities destroyed, damaged and or otherwise made unusable by a disaster. The President, or his/her designee, will be responsible for determining priorities of effort, allocating resources to high priority objectives, assisting the affected population toward recovery, and the restoration of normal University functions.

Direction and Control

Overall emergency operations will be directed form the EOC. The emergency field operations will be directed from an established command post staffed by the appropriate emergency agency department heads.
By approval of this Clemson University Disaster Management Plan, the Board of Trustees delegate the implementation of the plan to the Chain-of -Command listed below:

Annex A - Emergency Operations Center

In order to insure the integrity of the administration of Clemson University’s resources and assets, an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be established during the initial stage of a campus disaster.
The purpose of the EOC is to specifically serve the interest of Clemson University. It is recognized that the University, as an established part of Pickens County, is included in the Pickens County Emergency Operations Plan. Annex “A” of the Pickens County plan addresses the county EOC and the Clemson University Disaster Management Plan supports, and is compatible with, the Pickens County plan.

Mission

The mission of the EOC shall be to provide centralized direction and control of any or all of the following functions as they pertain to Clemson University: emergency operations; communications and warning; requesting additional resources during the disaster phase from Pickens County EOC; issuing emergency information and instructions specific to Clemson University; consolidation, analysis, and dissemination of damage assessment data; forwarding of consolidated reports to the Clemson University Board of Trustees and Pickens County EOC.

Location Of The Emergency Operations Center

The primary location of the EOC will be CUFD or alternative site. In the event this location is not available or feasible, the Clemson University Police Department, Multi-purpose room (#02) will be established as the EOC. During football games and other major stadium events, when the majority of the administration necessary to coordinate the initial phases of a disaster is in attendance, the stadium command post will be the temporary EOC. In the event that a complete campus evacuation is ordered-as in a nuclear accident-a remote EOC will be established at Greenville Technical College, Faculty Resource Building, rooms 110 and 110A.

Concept of Operations

The President of Clemson University-or his/her designee-will initiate the activation of the EOC as established by the Line of Succession. The activation of the EOC should immediately follow the declaration of a “MAJOR EMERGENCY”. The individual who declares the Major Emergency shall announce the location of the EOC at this time if it is not going to be CUFD. The nature of the disaster will dictate what Sections (Executive, Operations, Division of Financial Affairs and Human Resources, and Logistics) are represented at the EOC. The President-or designee-will determine what staff he/she deems necessary to effectively operate the EOC.
Security to the EOC will be provided by the CUPD at the EOC entrance points. Only individuals authorized by the CUEPD will be authorized to enter the EOC. The food service contractor will provide necessary food resources for the duration of the duration of the operation of the EOC. University Housing will provide sleeping cots/bedding for the duration of the operation of the EOC. Individuals staffing the EOC are responsible for establishing communications (radio, telephone) with their respective departments.

When the Pickens County Mobile Command Vehicle arrives, its communication capabilities will be utilized as necessary.
The organization of the EOC will include the following:

Purpose

To establish operational guidelines for Unusual Occurrences and Special Operations.

Policy

The Division of Law Enforcement will prepare plans and operational guidelines for unusual occurrences that may occur within the campus of the Clemson University. The Division will maintain contingency plans for natural and man-made disasters, hostage/barricaded subjects, VIP/dignitary security, and mass arrest situations. Certain kinds of emergencies and events present conditions which would be difficult for conventional police procedures to handle. The Division will coordinate activities with other law enforcement agencies, as needed. The primary objective during any critical incident operation will be the prevention of harm or loss of human life by deploying either uniform personnel and/or specialized personnel to supplement other operational components.

Responsibility and Planning
A. The Command Staff are the principal advisors to the Director of Law Enforcement on all Unusual Occurrence Plans and Incidents. Operational plans will be accessible to all command personnel. The Deputy and/or his/her designee will be responsible for developing and conducting an annual review of all “Unusual Occurrences” operational plans. The Director or Deputy Chief, and/or his designee, will plan the response to unusual occurrences and maintain liaison with outside agencies, i.e. federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, Emergency Preparedness Coordinators, American Red Cross, local fire departments, emergency medical personnel, and military personnel, as applicable.
B. The Director of Law Enforcement, or in his absence the Deputy Chief, will command/direct all “Unusual Occurrences”, emergency mobilizations, and serve as “On-scene Commander” of all operational responses to Unusual Occurrences, unless he delegates that authority. The Director, or in his absence the Deputy Chief, will also be the final approving authority for all plans and operational responses to any Unusual Occurrences.
Emergency Mobilization Plan
1. Alert Stages

a) Stage One (Normal): Normal day-to-day operations of the Division are in effect. No unusual occurrence is anticipated.
b) Stage Two (Advanced): Day-to-day operations of the Division are in effect. An unusual occurrence is anticipated. All personnel should notify their supervisor of a telephone number or beeper number where they can be reached, if they are not at their residence.
c) When notified of an Advance Alert, all personnel are to prepare for immediate recall with all personal equipment. Officers should see to the welfare of their families before reporting to work.

d) Stage Three (Emergency): Normal and/or Advance Alert conditions are in effect. An unusual occurrence is imminent. All personnel who are not equipped with Division issued pagers are on “telephone stand-by” and must remain at their residence and prepare for immediate recall. All officers should check their equipment for serviceability and be ready to report to assembly areas upon notification.
e) Stage Four (Recovery): Advanced or Emergency Alert conditions are in effect. An unusual occurrence has subsided. All personnel should continue with their current assignments and await further instructions.

2. Communications for Recall

a) It is the responsibility of the Command Staff to ensure the recall roster is current with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all personnel assigned to the law enforcement component of the Division. All personnel in the Division are responsible for keeping notification information up-to-date and employees are to be familiar with his/her assigned tasks during recall procedures.

E. Emergency Mobilization / Rehearsal

It is the responsibility of the Director, or his designee, to conduct rehearsals of the recall system and conduct an as needed test of the entire emergency mobilization plan.

General Guidelines
A. Release of Information / Rumor Control

All personnel will be reminded of the Division’s Public Information Policy concerning the release of information. It is the sole responsibility of the Director of Law Enforcement and Safety, or his designee, or the Office of News Services to release any information to the news media.
Accuracy in reporting is extremely important to the Division. Accurate casualty and damage numbers are essential to prevent the spread of rumors and exaggerations, which may trigger panic in the community. All personnel will be instructed to direct any member of the news media to the designated information center. It is not the intent of the Division of Law Enforcement to withhold information from the media or the general public. The specific purpose for having one person responsible for releasing information is to ensure that information is accurate and free from speculation or opinion.
B. Traffic Control
Traffic Control is vital for maintaining an orderly flow of official vehicles to and from the scene and to ensure that unauthorized personnel are denied access. Specific traffic control points will be determined by the On-scene Commander and modified when necessary. The Uniform Patrol Captain, or his designee, will coordinate with any outside agencies for assistance with traffic control at specific points that may fall under the jurisdiction of another agency, i.e., streets under the jurisdiction of the Clemson Police Department. As soon as possible, an Entry Authorization List should be produced and distributed to all personnel performing traffic control duties. This is extremely critical for officers from outside agencies assisting the Division.

C. Special Task Force Personnel
The Division of Law Enforcement employs, both in house and through mutual aid, several employees with specialization in various special operations. These positions include, but may not be limited to, the following:
Protective Security Personnel (VIP/Dignitary).
The Division must rely on the aid of other law enforcement agencies for specific types of support. The Division does not have a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will be the primary source for SWAT support.
D. Coordination with Other Agencies
The Division of Law Enforcement is a state police agency, however it has entered into formal written mutual aid agreements with other agencies. In the event of an unusual occurrence, assistance may be required from outside agencies. The emergency telephone numbers will be available at the field command post and at the Communications Center. The following agencies should be contacted if assistance is required:
SLED:

Clemson University Fire Department/EMS	Greenville Police Department

If necessary, the Director, in consultation with the University President or his designee, may request the Governor’s Office to order out the National Guard to the scene of an emergency.
E. Field Command Post

1. If the emergency involves all, or a large part of the campus, the Command Post is to be set up at the University Police Department. If this site is not available, the Director, or his designee, will select a location.

The command post may be staffed by the Director/Associate Director of Law Enforcement, the command staff, and Primary/Backup Communications Officers. Facilities will be made available for outside agency’s emergency assistance teams, media crews, and medical personnel, if present.

2. If the emergency involves only a small portion of the campus, or one building, a police vehicle can be placed a safe distance from the emergency site and used as a Command Post. This Command Post will contain only essential personnel to handle the emergency, along with the Shift Supervisor, and uniformed personnel assigned to the emergency area. If the situation requires a larger Command Post, reasonable measures will be taken to accommodate the personnel of the Division and/or other agencies.

3. The Shift Supervisor’s vehicle may be used as a Command Post and should be equipped with at least the following:

Barrier Tape and Signs (if necessary);
First Aid Kit;
Campus Telephone Directory/Local Telephone Directory;
Campus Situation Maps;
Biohazard Protection Kit;
Fire Extinguisher;
Radios

F. Communications
Patrol vehicles are equipped with multi-channel mobile radio equipment capable of two-way communication with surrounding law enforcement agencies. These channels should only be used during emergency conditions. If transmission from the communications center is disrupted or unavailable, the Mobile Repeater can be used for police communications and can be powered by a Gas Generator. Non-repeater can be used. Cellular phones are available. Additional communications equipment is available from SLED and the Clemson Police Department and Pickens County Sheriff’s Office, if needed.
G. High-Risk Facilities
At the onset of a large-scale civil disturbance or natural / man-made disaster, the On-scene Commander will dispatch personnel to guard key facilities on the University campus.
H. Transportation
The Division of Law Enforcement operates a fleet of vehicles from the Clemson University Motor Pool. In the event of an emergency, the CU Motor Pool and CU Facilities and Maintenance Operations has special use vehicles at the Division’s disposal. These include: tow vehicles; heavy equipment; maintenance vehicles; four wheel drive vehicles; buses; etc. The Director of Transportation Services will make available to the Director of Law Enforcement, or his designee, any and all vehicles necessary, along with sufficient personnel, to handle the unusual occurrence.

Upon notification of the unusual occurrence, the Director of Transportation Services will establish a command post at the University Motor Pool, if possible, and will be staffed with the necessary personnel to handle the emergency. Necessary personnel will include, but not be limited to, administrative personnel, drivers, mechanics, and any other personnel deemed necessary by the Director of Transportation Services.
I. Chain of Command
The Director of Law Enforcement has the final authority for all operational responses to any law enforcement related unusual occurrences. The Captain of Special Operations will assume this responsibility in the absence of the Director. At the initial outset of any unusual occurrence, it will be the responsibility of the ranking officer at the scene to assume the responsibility of the On-scene Commander until a higher ranking officer arrives at the scene. The Director or Captain of Special Operations may relinquish on-scene command to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division or other agency, if deemed necessary. Coordination between outside agencies will be accomplished through the Director, or his designee.
J. Emergency Supplies and Equipment

1. The Division will maintain equipment designated for use in unusual occurrence and emergency situations. This equipment will remain in a state of operational readiness and will be inspected by the Division equipment personnel at least monthly. Equipment includes, but is not limited to, the following:

K. Use of Force
Employees of the Division will use only that force necessary to accomplish lawful objectives. All use of force shall be in accordance with Division policies and procedures.
L. After-Action Report
Following any unusual occurrence operation, the Director or his designee will hold a staff meeting to discuss the operational response. The meeting will focus on shortfalls of the unusual occurrence response and format revisions necessary to carry out the next response in a more efficient manner. After the occurrence all reports, logs, assignments, damage reports, list of injuries/deaths, use of force reports, etc. will be forwarded to the Director’s Office for review and evaluation.

Natural and Man-made Disasters

A. The purpose of this plan is to establish procedures for implementation prior to, during and following a natural or man-made disaster. The plan gives primary consideration to required actions necessary to protect University property, students, faculty and staff. As resources permit, the Division will work cooperatively with the city, county, state and federal authorities to respond to the needs of the surrounding community. Division facilities will have access to news and weather channels via cable television. In addition, a portable radio with National Weather Service monitoring capabilities will be available to operational personnel.
B. The Division will make every effort possible to provide the highest level of preparation, security and deployment when it becomes apparent a natural disaster is likely to strike the area. The highest priority of the Division will be the personal safety of members of the University Community.
C. Whenever possible, employees of the Division will comply with University Policies and Procedures. Deviation from these policies and procedures may be necessary to handle situations as they occur, but the highest priority will be placed on the protection of human life.
D. Declaration of Emergency

i) The Governor has sole authority to excuse employees of state government from reporting to work during extreme weather or other emergency conditions. Only the Governor may issue a Declaration of Emergency stating that, employees should not report to work. Unless such a Declaration of Emergency has been issued, all state government employees are expected to report for work or take approved leave. If an emergency occurs on campus, only the University President or the Director of Law Enforcement, or their designee, will direct the evacuation or curtailment of work activities.

j) When a Declaration of Emergency has been made, the Director, or his designee, shall place into immediate effect the appropriate procedures necessary for the emergency situation to safeguard personnel, property, and secure facilities. During this declaration, only registered students, faculty and staff are authorized to be present on campus. Those who cannot present proper identification showing their legitimate business on campus will be required to leave campus or be subject to arrest. (SC Code 16-11-620, Trespass After Notice)
k) Additionally, only those faculty and staff members who have been assigned emergency team duties will be allowed to enter the immediate disaster site.

F. General Procedures

1. In the event of an unanticipated natural or man-made disaster, the shift supervisor will immediately become the On-scene Commander. Uniformed patrol officers will attempt to secure the area by stopping all traffic into the affected area (with the exception of emergency response units).
2. Dispatch will notify the appropriate medical and/or fire agencies, as indicated by the shift supervisor.

3. The Director and Command Staff and any specialized Division personnel should be notified, i.e., EOD Technician, Victim/Witness Coordinator etc. The Director, in consultation with his command staff, will determine if the Emergency Mobilization Plan should be initiated.
4. The Shift Supervisor will take appropriate action as On-scene Commander until he/she is relieved by a higher authority.

G. Post-Occurrence Duties
After the occurrence of a natural or man-made disaster, the duties of the Division will be varied. Depending on the situation, these duties may include traffic control, riot control, or looting prevention. Even though the crisis may be de-escalating, additional personnel may by needed to ensure the safety of University personnel and/or property. The Director or his designee will determine the personnel needs. The re-establishment of normality should be the underlying goal of the contingency plans. It is the responsibility of the Director or his designee to implement a plan for the orderly de-escalation of personnel and resources following the conclusion of an unusual occurrence.

Civil Disturbances and Mass Arrests

A. The University is often host to large events and gatherings. Events such as athletic games, concerts, fraternity/sorority parties, political demonstrations, visiting VIPs/ dignitaries, etc., can draw large crowds. The gatherings on the University campus are usually harmless, however, the potentiality remains that a peaceful gathering could result into civil unrest.
B. If a situation involving a large crowd begins to deteriorate, and civil unrest is imminent, a quick reaction from the Division with adequate force is crucial. The Division’s Use of Force Policy will always be followed in combating a civil disturbance.
C. The Division will have three objectives when responding to a civil disturbance:
a) Containment; Isolation; and Dispersal.
D. Response to the Scene

1. The shift supervisor will assume the role of On-scene Commander, unless the Director has appointed a Special Event Security Coordinator. The On-scene Commander will take appropriate action until relieved by a higher authority. Patrol units will stop all traffic into the affected area, with the exception of emergency personnel. Supervisory personnel will establish feasible objectives to combat the disturbance.

2. The On-scene Commander will use every effort to induce the leaders of the crowd to disperse before using force. If force becomes necessary, only the force necessary to accomplish the established objectives will be used.The field command post should not be within view of the crowd.

4. The On-scene Commander will consult with legal staff, if necessary, to discuss prosecutorial, court, and/or other legal considerations. If the civil disturbance occurs during a stadium athletic event, the local magistrate may be available.

Defense counsel will not be permitted to access the scene or the field command post. Defense counsel may visit the client after he/she has been released or transported to the detention facility.

E. Mass Arrests
It may become necessary in a civil disturbance to conduct mass arrests. The Division will conduct arrests in accordance with Division procedures and Constitutional requirements. If the amount of arrests is beyond Division capabilities, the Director, or his designee may contact the National Guard and/or other agencies.

1. Arrest / Processing / Confinement
Those individuals that are the most violent will be arrested first and removed from the scene as quickly as possible. Arrested subjects will be taken to the University Police Department and/or other designated facility for processing. Portable booking equipment will be available for those individuals who are given courtesy summonses. Those individuals who are not given a courtesy summons will be transported to a local detention center for booking and confinement. Communications personnel will notify the detention center that multiple prisoners are in route to the facility.
Arrested subjects will be transported via patrol units, prisoner transport vans, or other means, as deemed appropriate by the On-scene Commander. At all times, except during fingerprinting, arrested subjects will remain handcuffed and secure. Prisoner security and prisoner transport will be accomplished in accordance with the Division policy governing Prisoner Transportation.
2. Juvenile Offenders
In most cases, juveniles will be taken into custody and later released to their parents. Juveniles will be handled and processed in accordance with the Division Policy governing juveniles. During processing, juveniles should be kept “out of sight and sound” from adult prisoners.
3. Evidence Collection
Evidence, if any, will be secured in accordance with Division policy. If extensive collection is required, the On-scene Commander should instruct Communications Personnel to contact the appropriate investigator(s).
4. Identification

If the number of subjects arrested prohibits immediate processing by the arresting officer and/or detention center, the arresting officer will take a picture with an instant camera, affix a label(s) on the back, and record at least the following information on the photograph:
Date and time of arrest;
Date of birth of suspect;
Social Security Number of suspect;

Charge(s);
Name of arresting officer; and
A right, thumb fingerprint will be taken and placed on the label(s).
b) A video camera may be utilized to assist in recording identification information.
5. In civil disturbance and mass arrest situations, medical personnel will be available to treat any injuries. All injured subjects must be cleared by medical personnel prior to transport to a detention facility. If processing time is extensive, reasonable accommodations will be made to provide arrested subjects with food, water and/or sanitation facilities.

Hostage and Barricaded Persons

A. General Guidelines
The resolution of hostile situations can often be facilitated with negotiations. Negotiation is a two-way communication between the barricaded subject and law enforcement personnel.
A situation involving a barricaded person who poses a threat to himself/herself or others is a delicate one. The situation can be further complicated by the presence of hostages. Each situation is different and the variables will dictate the course of action. Flexibility in response is essential. Initial responding units must attempt to avoid confrontation in favor of controlling and containing the situation until the arrival of trained hostage negotiators and tactical teams. The primary purpose is to encourage surrender, while minimizing the overall threat to human life.
B. General Procedures

1. Arrival at the Scene
The first officer to arrive should remember that time is on the side of law enforcement. Time decreases anxiety and stress, while giving tactical and negotiating units a chance to set up, plan and initiate specific techniques. When it is confirmed that hostages are indeed being held, a series of procedures must be set in motion. First and foremost is the safety of the officer and bystanders. Officers should attempt to evacuate bystanders and other non-essential personnel. Under no circumstances should the officer place himself/herself in danger. >From a position of safety, the officer should attempt to block any escape path accessible to the hostage-taker.

The initial contact officer should immediately advise the communications center of the following:
The exact location;
Exact details of the incident;
Exact location of the suspect(s) and hostages(s);

Any need for medical personnel; and
Advisements and/or warnings to responding units
2. Initial Notifications
Communications personnel will immediately notify the Director and Command Staff. After consultation, the SLED SWAT Team and/or other agencies may be notified and requested to respond. The Director may initiate the emergency mobilization plan, if necessary.
3. Responsibilities at the Scene
a) The ranking officer at the scene will be the designated On-scene Commander until relieved by a higher authority. Initial responding officers should attempt to accomplish the following:
Establish perimeters both inner and outer;
Evacuate unaffected bystanders
Establish a temporary command post; and
Direct responding units to specific locations
b) Officers assigned to specific locations within the inner perimeter are also intelligence gatherers and are responsible for advising the On-scene Commander of all activity observed within the contained area. This would include a description of suspects and/or hostages, clothing, weapons and any medical conditions known. Officers may utilize surveillance equipment, as deemed necessary by the On-scene Commander.
c) No officer will be allowed to act on his/her own. No officer will leave his/her assigned post unless properly relieved or directed by a supervisor.
4. Evacuation
The evacuation process should be the first action taken after the scene is secured. Every attempt shall be made to evacuate any injured civilian or police personnel from the area. Evacuees should be interviewed and debriefed for any pertinent information about the scene or persons involved in the incident. Clemson University Emergency Medical Services should be notified of the situation and instructed to standby at a location away from the incident scene. Fire and rescue assistance may be requested from the Clemson University Fire Department, if needed.
5. Command Post
Once the scene has been brought under physical control, a central site should be designated as a Command Post where persons who are to be involved in the negotiation or tactical process may meet and confer with the On-scene Commander.

6. Negotiation
The On-scene Commander, or his/her designee, may be the initial negotiator until more experienced, trained personnel arrive. The barricaded suspect should not be allowed to travel to another location, in a vehicle or otherwise, until the arrival of SWAT support.
7. Command and Control
Because the Division must rely on other agencies for SWAT support, the chain of command must be established on the scene as soon as possible. At the onset of the situation, the ranking officer at the scene will assume the role of On-scene Commander until the arrival of a supervisor, command staff or the Director. Upon the arrival of SWAT support / Hostage Negotiation Teams, a clear and easily understood chain of command must be established. As soon as the special units have been briefed on the situation and prepared to assume the responsibility for the inner perimeter, the Director, or his designee, will pass command to the appropriate official. The Director, or his designee, will remain at the Command Post and act as a liaison between the inner perimeter and Division personnel on the outer perimeter. To insure continuity in negotiation, the Division Hostage Negotiator may remain to assist the other agency, if requested.
8. Hostage Negotiator Selection
The Division will seek to provide, to some officers, specialized training in hostage negotiation. This will be mainly for first response to hostage situations. All negotiators must be volunteers. The primary purpose of hostage negotiation is to encourage surrender, while minimizing the overall threat to human well-being. Qualities to be sought in prospective negotiators will include the following:
The ability to remain calm under pressure;
The ability to isolate and ignore their own personal emotions;
The possession of good communication skills;
The ability to think fast; and
Patience.
The presence of these qualities in the prospective negotiator will be determined through interviews with the prospect, his/her supervisors, and his/her co-workers.

Explosive / Bomb Threats (Code Blue)

Bomb threats and actual bombings create extremely hazardous situations. These calls must be handled in a manner, which reduces panic and minimizes the danger to all involved.

A. Notification
Upon receiving a bomb threat or notification of a bomb threat on campus, communications personnel will notify the Shift Supervisor on duty and then immediately contact the Director, Command Staff and CU Fire Department. The Director will assume the responsibility for action in the threatened area upon his arrival. Trained bomb personnel are available from SLED and the Explosive’s Unit of the Anderson Police Department. The Building Coordinators of the affected area/s will be notified for assistance.
B. Communications
Some explosive devices are radio activated. It is therefore imperative that all Radio or Cellular Phone/CUPD transmissions of responding law enforcement officers cease within ¼ mile of the incident location. All communications regarding bomb threats, bombs or suspected bombs should be done by non-cellular telephone whenever possible.

1. If you receive a bomb threat, obtain as much detailed information as possible.
2. Make a note of the exact wording of the threat, sex of caller, race, age, length of call, number at which call is received, time and date. Inform the caller that the facility is occupied and the detonation of a bomb would result in the death and serious injury of many innocent people.
3. Contact Command Staff/Post immediately with the above information.
4. Command Staff/Post will contact the Director by phone with the above information. After receiving specific instructions from the Director, the Command Staff will announce on all Channels a “Code Blue - Phase I.” This will signal all supervisors to report to assigned post (unless specified otherwise) to receive further details and instructions. Highway patrol will report to their posts.
5. The Director will determine if evacuation of the facility is necessary. It is imperative that radios remain clear for emergency transmissions. Use telephones whenever possible. NEVER announce on the radio there is a bomb threat. Do not even say “bomb” in the presence of patrons. If patrons notice bomb search personnel inspecting the facility, and inquire about what they are doing, state politely that something of value has been lost and they are looking for it. NEVER state they are looking for a bomb. If you discover a suspicious object, report it to your supervisor immediately, noting the location and description of the object. Do not touch it.
6. If proper authorities determine that we must evacuate the facility, follow the guidelines set forth in the Emergency Evacuation section.

C. Search Procedures
Upon notification, officers in the immediate area will respond and report to the on-scene commander or the EOD Technician. Searching of the specific location should be accomplished by the occupants of the location under the direction of the On-scene Commander or the EOD Technician. Law enforcement officers may search the location in accordance with the specific instructions given by the On-scene Commander or the EOD Technician. Occupants at the suspected location should be involved to identify packages or different types of apparatus that may appear “not to belong” in that area.

1. If the location of the device was indicated, that location should be checked first.
2. If a location was not indicated, searching operations generally start on the exterior and toward the interior. Once on the inside, searching operations start from the lowest level and work upward.
3. The interior search should commence with those areas most accessible to the public and areas containing service equipment. When searching use caution and any property manipulated should be moved with extreme caution.
4. Some of the areas to be checked include public access areas, i.e., lobbies, bathrooms, stairs, engineering spaces, maintenance closets/lockers and trash cans.
5. Once a suspicious item is found, it should not be touched by anyone except trained Bomb Technicians. Personnel discovering the device should secure the area and notify the Bomb Personnel. Any personnel assisting or conducting a search in which no item was found does not have the authority to declare an area “safe”. They should only state: “nothing has been found”. If a suspicious item is found, the local fire department and other emergency personnel will be notified to respond to the incident scene.

6. Search team personnel will consist of police officers, firemen and building coordinator.

D. Evacuation
The decision to evacuate a building or facility on the University campus will be done by the Director or his designee. If a device is found in a building, the building must be evacuated imme-diately by law enforcement personnel. This evacuation should be done by word of mouth. During evacuation, personnel should be strategically placed to direct everyone out of the danger area.
If the decision to evacuate has been made, we will then be in “Code Blue - Phase 2.” “Code Blue-Phase 2” will be announced over the radio and the evacuation procedures will begin. Each supervisor will have a predetermined meeting location (within their area of responsibility) for emergency situations. The supervisors will relay all information to personnel who are in turn responsible for relaying the information to their staff such that no one on staff is surprised when they hear the emergency evacuation announcement.
Prior to the emergency announcement, gate personnel will clear all exits of debris.

Gate personnel will be responsible for opening designated exit gates. Also prior to the emergency announcements, the teams and participants will be notified and escorted away from the facility.
As soon as the gates are open, the emergency announcement should be made to the patrons.
Upon hearing the emergency announcement, officers and ushers will man their designated area to supervise the orderly evacuation of patrons. Do not allow anyone other than emergency personnel to enter a restricted area.
All patrons should move rapidly to assigned exits, but in no instance, excepting immediate danger, should anyone run. Ask guests to remain calm and proceed to the nearest exit.
Common sense should prevail. Under no circumstances should anyone use the elevators. All personnel exiting the facility will move at least 500 feet away.
The Director or his designee will meet with search teams when completed and make a decision to reopen the building/facility.
E. Vehicle Searches
Officers will not attempt to search a vehicle that is suspected of containing a bomb or other explosive device. The Division EOD Technician or back-up bomb personnel may only conduct this search. Officers suspecting an explosive device should secure the scene and notify the appropriate personnel immediately.
F. Suspected Device Found
Upon discovery of a suspicious object or explosive device, evacuation of all persons, including officers, should be accomplished. All individuals should go to an area at least 500 feet away, which would be free from flying debris. Damage to property can be minimized if doors and windows are opened to allow the rapid escape of blast pressures in the event of a detonation. When an evacuation has occurred, NO ONE other than Bomb Technicians and those persons required to assist the Bomb Technicians will be allowed within the danger area until the area has been released by Bomb Personnel.
If a reported time of detonation is given, with the exception of Bomb Personnel, all other law enforcement personnel should evacuate the area a minimum of 15 minutes prior to the reported detonation time.
G. Command Post
The EOD Technician, Director, Command staff, or Shift Supervisor should establish a Command Post to direct law enforcement operations. It is vital that security measures be established whenever a suspected explosive device has been located. The danger area must be isolated and crowds must be controlled. If it is necessary for larger numbers of people to be evacuated into the street, additional traffic control problems may be involved. It is imperative that a traffic lane is kept open for emergency vehicles and unauthorized vehicles kept away from the scene. Areas near fire hydrants, standpipes, and fire lanes should be kept clear of obstacles.

In the event of a detonation, many injuries may be likely from flying glass or fragmentation. It is therefore imperative that crowds be kept away a minimum distance of 500 feet.
H. Special Facility Considerations

1. Memorial Stadium
Any threats or found devices directed against this facility during any event will be referred to the command post for action. The EOD Technician or his back up will be present to coordinate appropriate activities.
2. Littlejohn Coliseum
Any threats or found devices directed at the Coliseum during events will be referred to the Captain in charge of Coliseum Security. The Captain, in consultation with the Coliseum Director will take appropriate action until the EOD Technician or the Associate Director arrives.
Reports
All service calls related to Bomb Threats or Found Devices, or other related incidents, are required to be documented in detail on the appropriate report(s). All reports will be forwarded to the Director for evaluation and review. If a device was found, the incident will be reported to the National Bomb Data Center.

Special Events

Clemson University hosts many large events throughout the year. These events include, but are not limited to, athletic events, concerts, dances, parades/demonstrations, conventions, etc. The Division will coordinate and plan law enforcement operations for Special Events. The following guidelines are to be used as a foundation for developing specific plans for each event.
A. Responsible Authority
The Director has the final authority for plans covering an event. The Director will be the principal advisor for all Special Events. A single person will be appointed as the event supervisor for each scheduled event.

2. The event supervisor will determine personnel needs and will coordinate law enforcement activities inside and outside the Division. He/she will be the liaison to other assisting law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical support.

B. Traffic Control
If requested by the event supervisor, the Patrol Section will provide traffic direction and control for most large events held on the University campus. For larger events, the Clemson Police and the South Carolina Highway Patrol will assist with traffic direction and control at major intersections in the area. All involved agencies will be notified, in advance if possible, of any anticipated traffic problems.

C. Specialized Personnel
If excessive crime problems are anticipated at an event, the Division will utilize specialized law enforcement personnel. Such personnel may include the following:
Plain-clothed / Investigators;
EOD Technician;
Narcotics Personnel;
Surveillance Personnel, etc.
D. Procurement / Distribution of Equipment
The event supervisor, in consultation with the Director, will estimate equipment needs for security personnel. The event supervisor will coordinate with those agencies or departments involved, to ensure required equipment is readily available. Such equipment may include: traffic cones; parking barricades; portable booking equipment; Flex-Cuffs; prisoner transportation van(s); etc.
E. After-Action Report
After each large special event, the designated event supervisor should submit an After-Action Report to the Associate Director for review. This report should include any crime incidents, number of arrests, and/or any other unanticipated occurrences and/or problems.
F. Special Facility Considerations
Memorial Stadium
With a capacity of over 80,000 people, Memorial Stadium is the site where major athletic events and concerts are held. The Director is responsible for scheduling and supervising security and law enforcement personnel for athletic events and concerts held at the stadium. The Director ensures there is sufficient crowd control and safety for patrons of the event.
The Director also serves as a liaison with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and contract security providers for traffic control, ingress and egress of vehicles and pedestrians, news media, emergency vehicle access, medical personnel, and parking problems. The South Carolina Highway Patrol will handle all traffic control activities for these large events.

2. Littlejohn Coliseum
Littlejohn Coliseum is another site where major athletic events, concerts, banquets/receptions, conferences, graduation, etc. are held. The Director will determine security and law enforcement personnel needs. He will ensure proper crowd control, patron safety, adequate parking and traffic control, and adequate medical/fire personnel.

Dignitary / VIP Protective Security

A “Very Important Person” (VIP) is defined as a dignitary, famous personality, notorious person, or any other person in need of special security, as determined by the Director.
A. Responsibility and Authority
The Director has the final authority for the plan covering a VIP/Dignitary security detail. The Director will be the principal advisor for all matters involving protective security. For each detail, the Director will either appoint a Protective Security Coordinator, or assume the role himself. The Protective Security Coordinator, in consultation with the Director and the command staff, will determine all personnel needs.
B. Equipment Requirements
The Protective Security Coordinator will determine the equipment needs for the operation. Required equipment may include the following:
Special vehicles;
Body armor for VIP / Dignitary
Any special weapons;
Surveillance equipment, etc.
C. Travel Routes
The Protective Security Coordinator will plan primary and alternate travel routes. Prior to the arrival of the VIP / Dignitary, the travel route will be secured and possible threat points will be identified. The travel plan will include an “escape route” and route to the appropriate medical facility. Drivers should be thoroughly familiar with the travel route prior to the scheduled escort.
D. Intelligence
In addition to the travel route, all locations accessible to the VIP / Dignitary should be searched in advance. Protective Security Personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the facilities that the VIP/ Dignitary will occupy. The Protective Security Coordinator will research possible hostile persons or groups that may present a threat to the operation.
E. Agency Coordination
The Division will coordinate operations with the United States Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigations, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and/or any other agency involved in the security detail. Protective Security Personnel will notify other Division employees of pertinent information and any assigned duties. The Protective Security Coordinator will also identify and coordinate with local medical facilities, emergency medical services etc., if necessary.

Annex C - Clemson University Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services

Mission

The Clemson University Fire Department-Emergency Medical Service (CUFD-EMS) will provide for the coordination and use of all fire fighting and emergency medical (ambulance) resources utilized on the Clemson University campus during a disaster.

Concept of Operations

The CUFD-EMS is a department within the Division of Municipal Services.
The Dean of Municipal and Health Services under the Division of Student Affairs supervises the Fire Chief.
The CUFD-EMS maintains signed mutual aid agreements with:
Oconee County Fire Service,
Anderson County Fire Department, and
Central Fire Department.
Through the Pickens County Emergency Operations Plan, the following fire department are also available:
Pickens, Easley, Liberty, Six Mile, Norris, Pumpkintown and Dacusville Fire Departments.
The CUFD-EMS will utilized and Incident Command System to manage emergency activities involving fire, emergency medical, rescue, hazardous materials, and other situations where fire department intervention is required to contain an emergency.
The Incident Commander (IC) will establish a command post at the scene of the emergency and will be responsible for controlling all available assets he/she deems necessary to complete operations.
If the IC feels that a “MAJOR EMERGENCY” should be declared, contact will be made with the Dean of Municipal and Health Services or Emergency Preparedness Director as soon as possible.
Once a “MAJOR EMERGENCY” has been declared by the President of Clemson University or his/her designee as established by the Line of Succession-the CUFD-EMS will dispatch a representative with a portable radio to the EOC at its designated location. This individual will serve as a fire department liaison with the Executive Section of the CUEOC.
State Statue 6-11-1430 established the Fire Chief or-his/her designee-as the local authority responsible for evacuation of citizens from hazardous areas. When a limited evacuation is ordered, considerations will be made to the following evacuation locations:
Fike Recreation
Little John Collesium

Jervey Gym
Hendrix Center (Ballrooms and Theater)
The Pickens County chapter of the American Red Cross will be notified and is responsible for shelter staffing. A representative from the CUFD-EMS will be designated as a liaison at the evacuation center until another representative from the University can assume that responsibility.
Where a reportable hazardous materials spill/release (as defined by EPA) is encountered, the Pickens County Emergency Preparedness (PCEPD) Director MUST be notified as soon as possible and the appropriate documentation completed after the incident and submitted to the PCEPD.
The CUFD-EMS will be responsible for evacuation as necessary and containing the hazardous material utilizing available resources.
Special attention will be given to the protection of the environment (water, soil, buildings, and equipment, air, etc)
The releaser (owner) of the hazardous material will bear all fiscal responsibility for the incident including cost of the fire department and other Clemson University operations as well as damage and or loss of assets.
The releaser (owner) of the hazardous material will be responsible for the clean-up and disposal of the contamination in compliance with applicable EPA and OSHA regulations.
The CUFD-EMS will perform and/or supervise the removal of entrapped victims of the Clemson University campus. Where the rescue requires specialized equipment not normally available to the CUFD-EMS, the IC shall make requests to the Operations Section of the CUEOC for necessary resources.
When a building collapse or heavy rescue classified as urban search and rescue (USAR) is encountered, a request will be made by the IC to the Operations Section to request for necessary resources from PCEOC.
The CUFD-EMS will perform and/or supervise all fire suppression activities on the Clemson University campus.
Mutual Aid forces will be utilized as necessary as the back-up or primary resources
The CUFD-EMS will perform or supervise all emergency medical (ambulance) activities on the Clemson University campus.
Through the Pickens County EOP, the following off campus emergency medical services are available: Pickens County EMS; Pickens County Rescue Squads.
Additional ambulance resources would be secured through the CUEOC via the Pickens County EOC.
During initial phase of a multi-casualty incident, the Mass Casualty Trailers from Pickens County EMS should be requested.

CUFD-EMS personnel will follow Standing Orders issued by the CUFD-EMS Medical Director. Outside EMS agencies will utilize protocols established by their own Medical Control Physicians.
The IC will establish a Triage Officer (TO) who will be responsible for assessing treatment and transport priority. Initially, a CUFD-EMS paramedic will be assigned as TO and may be relieved by an individual from an outside agency of equal or greater qualification.
Fire, EMS, Police and other emergency workers injured during operations will receive first priority in triage.
Treatment/transport priority
Victims who are assessed to be biologically dead at the scene should not be moved from their location until the Pickens County Coroner has given permission.
When at all possible, video and/or still photo documentation by a Clemson University authority shall document the scene of all fatalities.
The food service contractor, using refrigeration trucks, will provide temporary mobile morgues, if necessary. Temporary morgues will be established at dining hall facilities as needed.
The IC will appoint a Transportation Officer. The Transportation Officer must maintain records of names and destination points for all individuals transported and the agency providing the transport. This is especially important when university students are concerned.
Adequate staff support should be provided by the IC to perform this task. This information will be made available to the CUEOC.
Proper documentation of patient care will be completed.
All ambulance providers will utilize the DHEC Incident Report Form and copies of forms of patients transported from Clemson campus will be provided to the Clemson University Fire Chief upon request.
The CUFD-EMS billing form will be completed only on a time available basis to expedite availability of ambulance resources.
The need for physician support in the field will be determined by the IC and shall be requested through the CUEOC. If possible, physician support should come from the Redfern Health Center.
The IC shall be responsible for releasing EMS resources no longer needed.
A debriefing session will be scheduled as soon as possible following the disaster to minimize critical incident stress of personnel from all involved agencies.
a) An operational debriefing will be held as soon as possible following the disaster to identify problems encountered during the disaster and possible solution to problems. The Fire Chief shall file a report with the Dean of Municipal and Health Services summarizing the operation debriefing.
