Emergency Management Plan
206.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The University of California has prepared an Emergency Management Plan for use by all employees in the event of a major disaster or other emergency event. The plan provides for a strategic response by all employees and assigns specific responsibilities in the event that the plan is activated (Government Code § 8610).
206.2 ACTIVATING THE EMERGENCY PLAN
The Emergency Management Plan can be activated on the order of the Chief of Police and/or a member of the University Emergency Policy Group. The UC Santa Cruz Police Department Emergency Management Plan will be consistent with the University's Emergency Response Plan. Refer to the following link: https://oes.ucsc.edu/emergency-preparedness/index.html
206.2.1 RECALL OF PERSONNEL
In the event that the Emergency Management Plan is activated, all employees of the University of California Santa Cruz Police Department are subject to immediate recall. Employees may also be subject to recall during extraordinary circumstances as deemed necessary by the Chief of Police or the authorized designee.
Failure to promptly respond to an order to report for duty may result in discipline.
206.3 LOCATION OF THE PLAN
The Emergency Management Plan is available in Administration and the Shift Supervisor's office. All supervisors should familiarize themselves with the both the Department and University Emergency Management Plans. Each supervisor should ensure that department personnel are familiar with the roles of police personnel when the plan is implemented.
206.4 UPDATING OF MANUALS
The Chief of Police or designee shall review the Emergency Management Plan Manual at least once every two years to ensure that the manual conforms to any revisions made by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and should appropriately address any needed revisions.
