Emergency Procedures

Northwest Indian College takes the health and safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors seriously. We intentionally plan for predictable and unpredictable incidents and emergencies. An Emergency Management Team (EMT) is formed whenever there is a significant incident or emergency on campus. However, the EMT cannot respond to the emergency alone. Each and every person on campus is responsible to effectively respond when emergency situations arise.

The following pages provide specific details on actions to be taken for specific types of events. These guidelines are to be used by administrators, faculty, staff and students in the preparation and general understanding of actions that the college’s plans for specific types of events. While every reasonable effort will be made to respond to events, resources and/or systems may be overwhelmed. Some events provide little or no warning to implement operational procedures, and all emergency plans are dependent upon tactical execution that may be imperfect. For full information regarding how the college will respond to emergency procedures, refer to the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
