Notifications
For the purposes of this plan, all disruptive events need to be reported that:
- Present a real immediate threat to the proper performance of essential Northwest Indian College functions, or;
- Will likely result in material loss or damage to property, bodily injury, or loss of life if immediate action is not taken, or;
- Has a likelihood of attracting media attention.
Upon the discovery of a disruptive event, immediate actions to mitigate or stabilize the event will be undertaken to the best of the ability of the person(s) witnessing the disruptive event. This includes, but is not limited to, rendering first aid, contacting 911 and the EMT.
The EMT is responsible for ensuring the emergency is reported directly via voice to the President, administrators, students, faculty and staff of the Northwest Indian College as soon as practical. Leaving a voicemail does not constitute an acceptable notification.
The EMT must ensure that additional notifications are made in accordance with the NWIC Internal Communication Process:
- RAVE message system activated with appropriate message to staff and students.
- Telephone and speaker phones utilized with appropriate message relayed campus wide.
- Campus email sent with appropriate messages sent to all staff and all students.
- Assigned Building Managers post appropriate messages on main entrances and exits doors or windows in respective buildings if applicable and safe to do so.
- Updated information is provided to staff and students during the emergency as needed.
The EMT must ensure that additional notifications are made in accordance with the NWIC External Communication Process:
- Contact appropriate agencies of the emergency or situation.
- Coordinate with responding agencies requests and directives.
- In turn, the President will contact the Board of Trustees and Tribal officials on the emergency and actions taken and will provide media information when available and appropriate.
