Reported Disciplinary Referrals RELATED CAMPUS SECURITY REPORT INFORMATION For a complete listing of all campus security policies pertaining to Mat Su College, see the 2012 Campus Security and Fire Safety Report. Following is a partial compilation of campus safety policies, procedures, and programs in place at Mat Su College. REPORTING A CRIME Alaska State Troopers: 745-2131 TIMELY WARNINGS EMERGENCY/CRISIS NOTIFICATION The College Director or designee will notify the campus community or the appropriate segment of the community, upon verification of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of some or all students or employees occurring on campus. The College Director or designee will take into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification, and initiate the notification system, unless notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency. This notification may occur via email, the classroom intercom system, and/or verbally. In addition, MSC employees may be contacted via a special alert system that attempts to contact employees by telephone, email, and/or text message. MSC employees who would like to receive these special notifications should contact Information Systems Manager Vince Yelmene at 745-9738 and request to be added to this system. As soon as is practical, the College Director or designee will assemble members of the Matanuska-Susitna College Incident Management Team (IMT) who will assist the College Director to manage the emergency. Matanuska-Susitna College IMT members include the College Director, Physical Plant Coordinator, Director of Academic Affairs, Director of Administrative Services, Director of Marketing & Communications, Director of Student Services, IS Manager, Assistant to the Director, Accounting Supervisor, Library Director, and the Learning Center Manager. If the College Director or designee has not already made an emergency notification, the IMT will determine who should be notified, decide the content of the notification, and initiate the notification system. The IMT will notify and may consult with the Anchorage campus Incident Management Team. The IMT has both the decision-making and financial authority needed to address emergencies on campus. The IMT may ask the Matanuska-Susitna College Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) to help respond to the emergency. The CERT is a volunteer group of faculty and staff members who receive periodic training on how to be a first responder including fire-fighting, triage, first-aid, and light search-and-rescue. The CERT can be contacted by calling 745-9779. The IMT also receives CERT training. The IMT meets as needed during Executive Staff meetings that occur twice a month. After the initial notification, the IMT may issue subsequent notifications to the Matanuska-Susitna College community via announcements on the MSC website: www.matsu.alaska.edu. IMT members may post flyers at each entrance to buildings affected by the emergency or walk around campus and make verbal announcements. The College Director and Director of Marketing & Communication may also disseminate information to the larger Mat-Su community by contacting the homeowner's association of the subdivision adjacent to the college, contacting the Borough, notifying the local radio station, and/or enlisting the help of the Alaska State Troopers to notify individuals affected by the emergency. In the event that a building needs to be evacuated, the occupants will be directed to the emergency assembly area. The IMT may provide information regarding where events scheduled for that building have been relocated. In the event that the entire campus needs to be evacuated, the IMT may indicate the campus is closed. In the event of an emergency, the IMT may ask everyone to shelter-in-place. Matanuska-Susitna College plans fire and evacuation drills each semester. In coordination with one of these drills, Matanuska-Susitna College will send an email to the MSC community that contains a link to the MSC emergency plan. Summaries of the emergency plan are also handed out annually to students and employees in conjunction with these drills. The Physical Plant Coordinator maintains a description of each drill as well as the date and time of the exercise and whether it was announced or unannounced. BUILDING ACCESS, SAFETY, AND MAINTENANCE Physical Plant personnel respond to all calls for repairs and maintenance. They are accessed by calling 745-9789 (radio) or 745-9750. Other emergencies after hours should be reported to the Alaska State Troopers by dialing 911. SECURITY AWARENESS PROGRAMS ALCOHOL AND DRUG INFORMATION
