Facilities Services Recovery Team
Team Leader: Director of Facilities Services
Alternate: Building Maintenance Managers
The Facilities Services Recovery Team supports the
university by being the first responders to any emergency
situation on campus. Facilities first responders will ensure
the safety of personnel and assess the condition of
property.
- People come first. Provide assistance by locating
personnel that may have sought shelter or may have become
injured in our buildings or on our property. Note needs of
people with disabilities. Assess the conditions of any
injured person and alert medical personnel if time and
safety permits waiting.
- Assess property damage and alert safety/security personnel
of status of buildings and whether or not it is recommended
to re-enter property or buildings. Contact peer institutions
or professional groups for help.
- Move or secure vital records/high priority items if it can
be done safely. (if applicable)
- Initiate or coordinate emergency repairs to lessen
property damage/vandalism.
- Verify master switch shut-off (water, gas, electricity) by
trained staff.
- Move items away from windows into water-resistant areas:
- Flooding: move items to higher floors.
- Hurricane: avoid areas under roof.
- Wrap shelves, cabinets, other storage units in heavy
plastic sealed with waterproof tape.
- Look for loose or downed power lines. Avoid area. Report
problems to local utility.
- Look for electrical system damage: sparks, broken/frayed
wires, smell of burning insulation. Turn off electricity at
main switch if you can without risk. (if necessary)
- Shut off water if necessary.
