An emergency is an event, actual or imminent, which endangers or threatens to endanger health and safety, property or the environment. Emergencies include natural events such as earthquake, flood and wind-storms, fires, explosions, road accidents, plague or epidemic, acts of war, hi-jacks, siege or riot, and disruption to essential services.
Emergencies by nature have no defined pattern or preferred location. Generally their onset is sudden and unforeseen. This can make the process of trying to identify what constitutes an emergency difficult.
To identify an emergency, they have been grouped into categories. Jarvis Christian College specifies color codes for these categories of emergencies for instant recognition. Publications and emergency procedure guides should use these color codes to help people instantly recognize the category of emergency.
A fire in the College is an emergency which causes the greatest concern for staff and students. If all staff accepts that fire prevention is their responsibility, the potential for fires can be greatly reduced and the severity of any fire that does start will be minimized.
Procedures are required for all College buildings to ensure rapid response to emergencies which may need evacuation. OSHA, Federal, and State Safety Agencies require that employers ensure that the means of access to and exiting from the workplace are safe and without risks to health.
The following areas are designated for Campus Evacuation in event of an emergency evacuation order.
