EMERGENCY BILLS
400. GENERAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. General emergencies are classified as earthquakes, fires, explosions, injuries, thefts, bomb threats and student unrest. In each case, notification of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and the Security Manager must be made as soon as possible.
a. Earthquake If an earthquake occurs, seek the nearest available shelter immediately. A detailed description of damage should be provided to University officials at the following telephone extension: 621-8273.
b. Fire or Explosion In the event of a fire or explosion, call extension 6218273. Warn all occupants to leave the building by the most expeditious route.
(1) Set off the nearest fire alarm.
(2) If combating the fire is feasible, utilize fire extinguishers located near the front and rear entrance/exits.
c. Injury If an injury accident occurs, immediately call extension 6218273 and inform them of the extent of the injury (if known) and your location. Attempt emergency first aid if you are capable, but do not place the injured in jeopardy by your lack of expertise. Stay with and comfort the injured party until help arrives.
d. Theft Contact University officials at extension 6218273. Attempt to determine what was taken by conducting an inventory of all property assigned. If classified material is compromised, comply with the provisions of SECNAVINST 5510.36 (series). Report all missing, lost, stolen, recovered (MLSR) property to the Command Physical Security Officer. Effective reporting of losses is crucial to the success of the loss prevention program maintained by the command. Reports will be made in accordance with CNETINST 5500.46, Reporting of Missing, Lost, and Stolen or Recovered (MLSR) Government Property.
e. Bomb Threat Keep the caller on the phone as long as possible, attempting to determine the location and type of the bomb. Have someone warn all occupants of the building to leave by the most expeditious route. Notify University officials at extension 6218273, giving all pertinent information. The search for the bomb's location is the responsibility of the University's security personnel. Reports will be made in accordance with OPNAVINST 3100.6 Series, Special Incident Reporting. For a suspected valid bomb threat an OPREP 3 Navy Blue report will be submitted. If a bomb threat is suspected or evaluated as a hoax, a unit sitrep will be submitted.
f. Student Unrest Contact University officials at extension 6218273 and give them an initial appraisal of the situation. Additionally, lock all NROTC office spaces to safeguard government property and personnel.
IN ALL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS NOTIFY THE COMMANDING OFFICER AND EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND KEEP THEM INFORMED.
401. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLAN
a. In the event of catastrophe, the NROTC Unit reports to the Commander, Naval Region Southwest. Mobilization of the NROTC will be effected by Navy Region Southwest, who will coordinate naval participation in disaster preparedness operations.
b. If designated Activity Disaster Preparedness Coordinator, the Commanding Officer, NROTC Unit will:
(1) Coordinate and control naval activity, disaster preparedness planning and operations.
(2) Plan, coordinate and control naval activity assistance to the other military services, federal, state and local authorities in support of domestic emergencies.
(3) Respond to requests of Area and SubArea Coordinators for assistance.
(4) When directed or required, activate forces for disaster preparedness/domestic emergency operations.
(5) Act as the central point of contact for disaster preparedness for naval activities assigned.
(6) Promptly report to the SubArea Coordinator, any action taken under this and/or supporting plans.
(7) Submit supporting plans to SubArea Coordinator for review prior to promulgation.
(8) Keep SubArea Coordinator informed of disaster preparedness status relative to planning, readiness and capabilities.
c. At the activity level, disaster preparedness operations fall into three categories:
(1) The activity has suffered damage, and personnel and resources are needed for selfrecovery.
(2) The activity has suffered no damage, and personnel and resources may be deployed to the disaster scene to render assistance subject to mission requirements.
(3) Circumstances dictate the requirement for both selfrecovery and offstation deployment.
In the first instance, except as may be directed by higher authority, the primary responsibility of the activity concerned is for selfrecovery, utilizing all surviving personnel and resources. The extent to which aid could be furnished to others would then depend upon the degree of local involvement. For example, a lightly affected naval activity could provide assistance to a heavily affected civilian community adjacent to it. On the other hand, should the disaster affect the capability of selfrecovery, the activity concerned may request assistance from the civilian community and/or the next higher echelon in the disaster preparedness chain of command.
d. Domestic emergencies may be expected to overlap military and civilian jurisdictions. The determination of the overall requirements for support during domestic emergencies may be a civilian responsibility or the responsibility of one of the military services. The location and extent of the domestic emergency are the primary considerations. The Area Coordinator, the SubArea Coordinators and Activity Disaster Preparedness Coordinators must be prepared for any degree of participation from simply providing a small amount of resources to other military, federal, state or local authorities, to assuming full control of all support provided during domestic emergencies from whatever source.
e. Department of the Navy Policy:
(1) Employment of naval personnel and resources in support of civil defense domestic emergencies is a secondary mission to combat, combat support and selfsurvival operations. Commensurate with the execution of their primary mission, commanders of naval forces will render all feasible support to local or state authorities during a national emergency, particularly one involving a nuclear attack.
(2) Naval forces and resources employed in civil defense domestic emergencies will remain at all times under naval command and control. Unit integrity should be maintained insofar as practicable.
(3) Naval assistance will complement and not be a substitute for civil participation in civil defense operations.
(4) Naval commanders who make their resources available to support civil agencies are subject to no authority other than that of their superiors in the military chain of command.
(5) Naval resources will be withheld or withdrawn when needed for the conduct or support of naval military operations, or when no longer required for civil defense purposes.
(6) Preparation and training for civil defense missions will be accomplished within existing Department of the Navy organizations, utilizing those naval skills applicable to disaster preparedness missions and the training facilities and courses of civil defense agencies as feasible.
(7) The naval shore establishment has an inherent capability to utilize its normal operating organization, facilities and equipment in responding to domestic emergencies. It is neither necessary nor desirable to create new or parallel organizations to deal with domestic emergencies. The normal command organization will be the disaster response organizations. The only exception is that if an activity does not have the necessary capability, within its normal command organization to perform a required task; i.e., rescue, NBC defense, etc., then special organizations may be created to acquire the necessary capability.
