Emergency Response Plan
Emergency Response Plan
This
document constitutes the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for Hostos
Community College (HCC). The plan serves as a guide for handling campus
emergencies and disasters through the effective use of available
personnel and resources. While it is impossible to produce a document
that is all-inclusive, this plan addresses the most common emergencies
and those that are most likely to occur in the future. The plan
identifies departments and individuals that are directly responsible for
emergency response and critical support services and it provides a
management structure for coordinating and deploying essential resources.
It attempts to place HCC in a proactive position to protect students,
staff, faculty and visitors in case of an emergency or disaster. Lastly,
it enhances the college’s ability to quickly return to normal operations
after an interruption in services.
All
faculty, students and staff members should familiarize themselves with
the plan. Since this college plan provides broad guidelines and
procedures, it is imperative that individual college departments and/or
other units create their own internal emergency response plans for
situations that may develop. If you have any questions concerning this
college plan, please call the HCC Director of Campus Police & Security
Services, Chief Arnaldo Bernabe, at extension 6888.
If
you have an emergency situation dial 6888 or 6911, which is the
Department of Campus Police & Security Services Desk Emergency Line.
Give the Public Safety dispatcher all the pertinent information. If you
are calling from a non-campus phone please call 718-518-6888 to reach
the dispatcher’s desk. The Public Safety Office has a NYPD portable
radio which is used during emergencies to contact the police and/ or
other emergency services. You can call 911 directly, but remember to
call 6888 immediately after doing so. The HCC Campus Police & Security
Services is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your assistance
and safety.
It is
essential that the HCC Campus Police & Security Services department be
notified of an emergency. Campus Police Officers are dispatched to meet
responding external emergency personnel in order to quickly bring them
to the location of an emergency.
This
is particularly important in cases involving medical emergencies. Campus
Police Officers have as part of their emergency medical equipment
automated external defibrillators which are located in various areas of
the campus. In administering emergency care to someone whose heart has
stopped beating or has an irregular beat, it is essential that the
automated external defibrillator be utilized as quickly as possible.
