Preparation: Campus plans to give shelter
Continued from page 1A
5 million square feet of open space that
could temporarily serve people dis
placed by a disaster.
Open areas, such as the turf field be
side the Student Recreation Center,
could potentially serve as staging areas
or triage centers, he said.
Supplies for staging a major shel
ter are currently not on campus, but
ONHW is talking with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
staff about storing critical supplies
on campus before a disaster strikes,
LeDuc said.
In six months, the University plans
to test a new plan, Department of Pub
lic Safety Interim Director Tom Hicks
said. A test emergency scenario would
ensure all people involved are comfort
able with their roles and responsibili
ties during a disaster, he said.
“You can develop a plan,” he said,
“but you don’t know if it'll work until
it’s done.”
The Department of Public Safety
currently follows ICS protocol. Under
ICS, one person is delegated the inci
dent commander position, but that po
sition may change as more qualified
emergency officials arrive at the scene
of an emergency, Hicks said. DPS was
required to adopt the system to make
it eligible for federal grant money, he
said. If DPS headquarters in Straub
Hall is damaged or made inaccessible,
the department would move to the
Student Recreation Center, Hicks said.
Hicks said DPS’ emergency re
sponse plan was moderately tested
and proved successful in February
2003, after a violent windstorm.
“We’re further ahead than where
we were five years ago,” Hicks said.
City response plan
Similar to the University, the city
will use ICS and NIMS procedures in
the event of a major emergency.
Andre LeDuc, program director of the Oregon Natural Hazards Workgroup, shows the field
by the Student Recreation Center as a potential shelter site during emergencies.
Unlike the University, the Eugene
Fire Department uses the ICS system
everyday, said Chuck Solin, Eugene
emergency program manager.
For years, Eugene has had an ICS
plan governing who has authority on
scene, he said. However, the city did
n’t adopt NIMS until May 2005.
“Federal, county, city and local gov
ernments will all work together within
NIMS,” Solin said.
In the event of a major emergency,
city officials and incident commanders
will work out of the city’s Emergency
Operations Center, a new facility locat
ed inside Fire Station 6 near Sheldon
High School.
City officials assigned to an inci
dent command post may not be do
ing something they normally do,
but they have had training in that
area, Solin said.
Solin said city agencies or organi
zations aren’t eligible for federal
money unless they can demonstrate
NIMS compliance.
In the event of major disaster, the
city would collaborate with other or
ganizations, such as the American Red
Cross, to set up emergency shelters,
Solin said.
Shelter locations would vary de
pending on the type of disaster,
Carrick said.
People should listen to the radio
after a disaster to learn where emer
gency shelters will be located,
Carrick said.
Preparing emergency kits
At least one person in each house
hold should be trained in CPR and first
aid, Carrick said.
Nationwide, 1 in 7 people have a
disaster supply kit, she said, and 1 in
10 people are prepared for a disaster on
the West Coast.
“It doesn’t matter who you are,
where you live, take some responsibili
ty and get prepared,” she said.
