Safety and Security Committee (SSC)

The Safety and Security Committee oversees and provides recommendation to the College President’s Cabinet members in the preparedness phase and provides direction for the development, approval process, and maintenance of the Emergency Operations Plan. The SSC can recommend direction for emergency preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery planning activities.

The SSC may coordinate as needed with local agencies such as: The City of Morehead, Carteret County Department of Emergency Management, and other State and Federal agencies.

The Safety and Security Committee (SSC) can provide direction to the Emergency Operations Command Staff during any activation.

In the Preparedness, Mitigation, and Response phases of Emergency Management and in activating the Business Continuity Plans, SSC working with the Executive Leadership Council will initiate, approve, and endorse plans created for the effective Response and Recovery Operations of the Campus.

SSC has established delineation of authority to the Director of Security and Emergency Preparedness and other designees and delegated specific roles and responsibilities for the cohesive capability in all phases of Emergency Management.

Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) and Mutual Aid Agreements (MAA) if needed are approved or initiated and signed by the Chief Executive Officer for the College. Examples of this include reunification areas, space utilization and transportation agreements with local public and private entities.
