Level I: Emergency Operation Mode – Standby

Definition:

Incidents that Standard Operating Procedures can handle. While there may be some damage and/or interruption, the conditions are localized and the Emergency Operations Center does not need to be activated. If notified of the event, Carteret CC Emergency Operations Plan and Center will operate in “standby” mode.

Actions:

  • Onsite leadership handles the situation following standard operating procedures. The lead responder to an incident is the Incident Commander, until/unless relieved by someone with more experience/knowledge of the situation.
  • If a situation requires additional resources, the Incident Commander contacts Director of Security and Emergency Preparedness to help monitor and provide additional guidance or boundary control.
  • Director of Security and Emergency Preparedness may choose to open a Department Operation Center (DOC). If the incident has the potential to grow, the Director will notify appropriate members of Executive Leadership Council via phone or text.
  • The College Emergency Operations Center is placed on stand-by mode.
  • A virtual EOC may be established for ease of information sharing and documenting.
