The Carteret Community College Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) provides guidance on prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery operations in case there is an emergency event involving Carteret Community College students, staff, faculty, or facilities utilized by our campus community. This includes disaster and emergency responsibilities and procedures, continuity planning, training, and education.
The plan includes descriptions of emergency support functions and supporting documents, as well as guidance for the coordination of operations during impactful events and the most effective use of resources within Carteret Community College.
The plan establishes a mutual understanding of authority, responsibilities, and functions of College officials and provides a basis for incorporating our processes into the local emergency response structure.
This EOP is designed to be compatible with local, state, and federal government emergency operations plans. Any conflicts will be addressed on a case by case basis using National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) as guidance.
The ICS will be implemented for Carteret Community College’s incident response, the structure of which is detailed in the Response section of this plan.
The Safety and Security Committee will review biannually and send any changes to the President’s Cabinet for approval to the Emergency Operations Plan.
Incident Command and General Staff may make exceptions or changes to specific procedures and priorities as outlined within the incident action plan, as needed during an event.
