Student Notification Policy and Procedures, it is the policy of 日韩精品 to actively investigate any report of a missing student resident who is enrolled at the College and residing in on-campus housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a member of the College community has reason to believe that a student who resides in on-campus student housing is missing, they should <strong>immediately notify the Department of Public Safety at 651-696-6555<\/strong>. Public Safety will generate a Missing Person report, notify appropriate staff members, and begin an investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing Student Notifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After investigating the Missing Person report, should it be determined that the student is missing and has been missing for more than 24 hours, a representative from the college (Department of Public Safety or Division of Student Affairs) will notify the St. Paul Police Department or local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction and the student\u2019s emergency contact no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the missing person is under the age of 18 and is not emancipated, a representative from the Division of Student Affairs will notify the student\u2019s parent or legal guardian, the missing person contact, and the St. Paul Police Department or local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction immediately after Public Safety has determined that the student has been missing for more than 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of each academic semester, all students will be asked to voluntarily provide emergency contact information in the event they are reported missing while enrolled at 日韩精品. This emergency information will be confidential in the Banner 1600grand application and will be updated as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing Student Procedures<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If a member of the College community has reason to believe that a student is missing, contact the Department of Public Safety at (651) 696-6555 immediately. For the purposes of this policy, a student may be considered to be a \u201cmissing person\u201d if the person\u2019s absence is contrary to his\/her usual pattern of behavior or unusual circumstances may have caused the absence. Such circumstances could include, but not be limited to, a report or suspicion that the missing person may be a victim of foul play, has expressed suicidal thoughts, is medication dependent, is in a life-threatening situation, or has been with persons who may endanger the student\u2019s welfare. Most missing person reports in the college environment result from a student changing their routine without informing their roommates and\/or friends of the change. Anyone who believes a student to be missing should report their concern to Campus Public Safety, Residential Life, or the Office of Student Affairs. Every report made to Campus Public Safety will be followed up with an immediate investigation once a student has been missing for 24 hours. Depending on the circumstances presented to College officials, parents of a missing student may be notified.&nbsp; If the student is under the age of 18, the parents or guardian will be notified immediately. In the event that parental or guardian notification is necessary a representative of the Division of Student Affairs will place the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of each academic semester, all students will be asked to provide, on a voluntary basis, emergency contact information in the event they are reported missing while enrolled at Macalester. This emergency information will be kept in the Banner 1600 Grand application and will be updated annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>General Procedures:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Macalester official receiving the report will collect and document the following information at the time of the report:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The legal and preferred name of the missing person<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical description of the missing person.

If the alarm stops sounding, continue evacuation and warn others who may attempt to enter the building.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If able, assist disabled persons and\/or visitors to evacuate the building.&nbsp; If a disabled person is unable to evacuate help them to shelter areas, such as enclosed stairwell landings where they can be assisted by first responders.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not use elevators.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Move to the designated meeting area for the building. Move to a location that is a minimum of 100 feet from the building.&nbsp; Keep the streets and sidewalks open for emergency personnel. Do not return to the building until directed to do so by Safety and Security. The silencing of audible sirens or horns does NOT mean it is safe to re-enter the building.&nbsp; In inclement weather, seek shelter in another campus building.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Safety and Security does NOT set off fire alarms randomly.&nbsp; All tests are announced prior to their activation.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is the policy of Safety and Security to notify the St. Paul Fire Department anytime there is an evacuation situation. The fire department may issue citations to persons who do not evacuate a building during an evacuation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DO:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leave immediately.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Walk, don\u2019t run..<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When instructed, evacuate and go a safe distance from your building (pre-designated assembly points).<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you know of hazards or trapped persons, tell the nearest campus security officer or first responder.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not re-enter the building until first response personnel tell you it is safe.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DO NOT:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use elevators.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Re-enter buildings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This building\u2019s designated outside meeting area:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/security\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/427\/2014\/07\/evacuationmap.pdf\">See building evacuation map<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9\/2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"incident-management\">Incident Management Team (IMT)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"incidentmanagement\">The 日韩精品 Incident Management Team (IMT) is comprised of administrators with significant responsibility for various areas of the campus and\/or college operations or those who have the responsibility for developing a strategy and direction during a major emergency. When this plan is activated, members of the IMT will assume an active role in the command of or response to an emergency on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lockdown-policy\">Lockdown Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building or Area Lockdown<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lockdown may be implemented in a hazardous or life threatening situation. It is intended to limit access and exposure to hazards by limiting staff and student movement.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When a lockdown is declared, all community members are to stay in their current position, unless they are immediately adjacent to the dangerous situation (shooter, bomb threat, etc).&nbsp; Close and lock all doors, shut windows and close blinds, stay low to the floor and shelter behind heavy furniture or equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once in lockdown, buildings will have restricted access until the \u201cAll Clear\u201d is given or individuals are directed to leave by emergency response personnel.&nbsp; All college activities, classes and events are immediately paused and will not resume until official notice is given. A lockdown may be called by college officials, law enforcement agencies or other emergency responders. A lockdown may be called for a variety of reasons, including: weapons, intruders, police activity in or around the school, contamination or hazardous materials or terrorist events.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Briefing First Responders and Establishing Communications Link<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When first responders arrive, they will be briefed on the situation and command of the incident response will be relinquished to them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There will be a communication link established between the first responder response team and&nbsp; Safety and Security. Once the IMT is activated, the Macalester Safety and Security personnel will be folded into the IMT structure as appropriate.&nbsp; Field Operations personnel will serve as the link to the first responder team once the IMT is active.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communication to Campus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Rave Alert emergency notification system will be used to transmit information as quickly as possible to the campus community to provide information and direction.&nbsp; Communication to campus through the Rave Alert system and any other available means will be as frequent as necessary to ensure that the community is kept informed of material changes to the situation and that they receive appropriate direction.&nbsp; At the conclusion of the event, once the \u201cAll Clear\u201d has been given by the authorities in charge, notice of the \u201cAll Clear\u201d will be sent to the community letting them know that the crisis has ended and providing direction on where to congregate for debriefing, whether they can leave, and where to report concerns and information related to the incident.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faculty \/ Staff Response \u2013 Lockdown<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Faculty and staff are responsible for the students they are with at the time of the lockdown.

A siren usually does not sound during a watch. People are asked to take note of the weather and their surrounding conditions, and consider how they would adjust their activities to the possible changing weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A warning (tornado warning, thunderstorm warning), means that the particular type of weather is occurring \u2013 a tornado has been sighted, or a severe thunderstorm is expected. During a tornado warning or a very severe thunderstorm warning, sirens do sound. Act immediately to take cover in protected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A severe weather watch or warning is serious.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you encounter such a weather condition, stay away from glass windows, and seek shelter in any of the locations listed on the Safety and Security board posted in your building.
