TEXAS A& M UNIVERSITY AT GALVESTON
CAMPUS EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION RESPONSE PLAN
Aggies Taking Care of Aggies
The Texas A&M University at Galveston Campus Emergency Response Plan has been developed to provide guidance during emergency and crises events that call for actions and operations beyond the daily operations of the institution. The plan is composed of four parts providing guidance for campus communications, command center operations, media relations, and campus lock down and security protocols during critical incidents. This plan does not replace other emergency plans and protocols in place for severe weather, campus evacuation, post emergency campus recovery, fire and other safety response plans. This plan should be used to complement other plans and procedures. Activation of this plan will insure that effective communication in the event of a crisis saves lives, prevents property loss and disseminates information to all campus members in a clear, concise and organized manner so that we are truly Aggies Taking Care of Aggies.
No amount of planning can replace the solid leadership and sound judgment that must be exercised at all levels during a crisis or emergency situation. This plan will always be an evolving document and is for guidance only. In addition, all campus community members should become familiar with the E2 Campus system by registering all personal communication devices at:

Campus Communications
PROCEDURES
Assessment -- The individual who encounters the potential crisis or emergency should gather accurate information from the appropriate sources as quickly as possible. After fact gathering, the individual should contact the Campus Police immediately.
Authority and decision to activate the Emergency Preparedness Plan as a result of the emergency will follow the Chain of Command beginning with the Vice President and CEO. If the Vice President and CEO is unavailable, the administrator in charge will activate the plan.
In the event there is an emergency in progress, the Campus Police may take immediate action to safeguard the campus community through established police procedures while taking steps to notify the administration of the crisis or emergency situation.

RESPONSE
After assessing the nature and scope of the situation, the Executive Team member in charge will call together all available members of the Executive Team to execute the following plan:
Designate a spokesperson: In cases of a significant crisis, the Vice President and CEO or administrator in charge will take the lead in conveying the administration's response to the crisis, showing that the campus has control of the situation, calming public concern and providing leadership for the entire campus.
Draft a fact sheet: The fact sheet will contain a summary statement of the situation including all known details to be released to the media. This information will be made available to (and approved by) the Vice President and CEO in addition to copies provided to the Chancellor, President and Provost. This fact sheet should be scrutinized with respect to the public's right to know and concerns for privacy and security in consultation with the Office of General Counsel if necessary.
Notify key constituencies: Determine key constituencies that should be informed of the crisis. It is important to keep administration, faculty, staff, students and parents informed as appropriate of appropriate details and actions taken by the university during an emergency. The Vice President and CEO or administrator in charge will notify the Chancellor, President and Provost in College Station of the crisis as appropriate.
The Campus Emergency Communications Protocols will be followed (See Appendix A)
Alert the media: Determine whether a news conference and or news release is an appropriate means of conveying information beyond the protocols used to notify faculty, staff, students, the news media and the public. The Vice President and CEO or administrator in charge in consultation with the Director of Media Relations and Communications will determine logistics of the news conference including when, where and how the media will be contacted, which media will be contacted, who will supervise the news conference, who will appear, etc. The Campus Emergency Communications Protocols for Media Management will be followed.
Other spokespersons: Identify any other individuals besides those on the Executive Team who may serve as spokespersons or who might be made available to the news media; assign a public information staff person to provide counsel to those individuals.
ONGOING PROCEDURES DURING CRISIS
During the crisis or emergency, the Executive Team in consultation with the Director of Media Relations and Communications will monitor all news media for reports or updates related to the crisis.
Open communications: Over the duration of the crisis, open communications between the Executive Team and those responding to the crisis or emergency will be maintained. Redundant communication systems including the police 800 series radios, campus satellite phones and personal cell phones will be utilized in maintaining effective communication links.
Outside resources: In the event the campus resources and responders are overwhelmed by the crisis or emergency or additional resources are needed, the Vice President and CEO or administrator in charge will contact the local Office of Emergency Management or local law enforcement to request assistance.
AFTERMATH COMPONENT
Following any crisis, appropriate action must take place to ensure that members of the campus community, and others as necessary, receive needed information and assistance to help bring closure to the crisis as well as relief from the effects of the event. Attention also should be placed on identifying and implementing measures to improve the Emergency Preparedness plan used during the crisis.
Communications: If needed, a public forum should be scheduled and coordinated by the Director of Media Relations and Communications to communicate details of the incident and events to all interested members of the campus. The timeliness of this meeting is critical and every effort should be made to see that it occurs within three work days from the close of the crisis. Representatives from the Executive Team, Campus Police, Student Affairs, Human Resources, Employee Assistance Program, as well as the Counseling Office should attend and be prepared to answer questions and share pertinent information. Specific departments and/or individuals also may be requested to attend and participate depending upon the nature of the crisis.
Immediately following a crisis: It is imperative that the campus be sensitive to the needs of faculty, staff and students who may have been personally affected by the crisis. There may be a need to assist a victim or victims with obtaining information and/or a referral to available resources. Human Resources will be the contact for employee assistance and Student Affairs for student assistance.
Rumor control: It is not unreasonable to expect that rumors would follow a crisis, further creating an atmosphere of anxiety. As a preventative measure, the campus Website will continuously be updated following the crisis to address rumors and provide additional information as it becomes available. All inquiries to the crisis will be directed to the Director of Media Relations and Communications.
Ten day follow up: The Executive Team shall meet within 10 days following a crisis and review all actions taken as a result of the crisis to determine effectiveness and efficiency of operations and make any needed changes to the Emergency Preparedness Plan and Emergency Communications Plan and Protocols.
Emergencies can occur at any time and without warning. Careful application of the Campus Emergency Communication Plan and Protocols will assist the Texas A&M University at Galveston campus community in responding appropriately to crises and emergencies and effectively manage the media. Continued evaluation and refinement of this plan is necessary and should be initiated on an annual basis.
