MoWest – Basic Emergency Operation Plan<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>

Plan & Prepare<\/strong> is the process of planning and preparing for how <\/span>to respond when an emergency occurs, and coordinating physical and huma<\/span>n resources to respond effectively. <\/span>Planning and Preparing includes establishing authorities, procedures and plans, training, <\/span>exercises, and acquiring and maintaining <\/span>resources.<\/p>\n

Incident<\/strong> refers to the actual emergency event which occurs. See Levels of Emergency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alert<\/strong> is the process of communicating information about the emergency to the campus community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Respond<\/strong> is quick action <\/span>to save lives, protect property and environment, and contain and stabilize the incident. Response also includes <\/span>search and rescue, emergency medical care, firefighting, and security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recovery<\/strong> could be short-term or long-term efforts. Short-<\/span>term recovery efforts will focus on <\/span>restoring vital services to the university and providing the basi<\/span>c needs of staff and students, such as temporary food and shelter, restoring critical services and functions. Long-term <\/span>recovery efforts focus on restoring the university to normal operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prevention & Mitigation<\/strong> activities are geared towards reducing or eliminating ha<\/span>zards related to an emergency. It is an integral part of the emergency management program which should <\/span>assist in strengthening facilities and reducing damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
