Introduction
The purpose of this template is to enable smaller entities (schools/units) to create theirown local response plans which incorporate not only the standard incident responses butalso the emergency response information specific to their environment . The scope of the
plan is limited to the name of the school/CSU indicated on the title page and only coversthe response component of the emergency management cycle.
Local Response Plans operate under the authority of the Victoria University BusinessContinuity Policy.

Assess impact
on school/CSU
Respond to event as
outlined in this plan.
See event-specific
checklists
Notify the manager/
head of school and all
staff

3. Evacuation
Evacuation may be required to ensure the safety of staff, students and others in anemergency event. To practice building evacuations, trial evacuations (also known as firedrills) are conducted 6 monthly for all buildings in accordance with the Fire Safety and
Evacuation of Buildings Regulations 2006.Evacuation boards with instructions for fire and earthquake are placed in all buildings; theVictoria University standard format is shown below.
Sample evacuation board
Safe assembly points (for fire evacuation) are listed in Appendix A.

4. Emergency Welfare Plan
The University’s Emergency Welfare Manager will activate the Welfare EmergencyResponse Plan when a significant event takes place leaving staff or students vulnerable,stranded or in need of support services. A Welfare Centre will likely be located in a large
open area inside, such as The Hub.
Wherever possible the main objective of the Welfare Team is to help people to get home,where home is within a safe area and can be safely reached using remaining transportoptions.
Building cluster response teams
In the immediate aftermath of a significant earthquake, trained response staff includingbuilding wardens, floor wardens, first aiders, and health and safety representatives worktogether in building groups to support the welfare response effort. These staff meet atarranged, ground level locations and are recognisable by yellow and orange high visibility
vests.
During the first four hours after a major emergency these staff co-ordinate local civildefence resources to provide first aid if required, assist with carpooling and walking busco-ordination to help people get home safely, and offer support to those who need it.
If it is needed, the Emergency Welfare Manager will establish an Emergency WelfareCentre at Kelburn Campus to support those who are left.

5. Emergency communications plan – staff and
students
In any emergency event, staff and students will be kept informed of the situation throughthe provision of relevant, accurate and up to date information. This will be achieved
through a combination of mediums, such as web updates, e-mail, text and social media.
Emergency communications plan for staff and students
For immediate information to staff and students the University will email all staff
(including PhD students), and where appropriate, text students. Information can
also be provided as a pop-up on student computers and on digital displays
across our campuses.
Up to date information will be published on the University’s official website
(www.victoria.ac.nz) and on its Facebook page
(www.facebook.com/victoriauniversityofwellington). Twitter and main stream
media will also be used to broadcast relevant information more widely.
A University Communications and Marketing representative will work directly
with the Incident Controller and the Senior Leadership Team to ensure all
information is accurate and appropriate.
Communications works both ways and staff are to ensure that they keep their managers
informed of their wellbeing, whereabouts and other relevant information as appropriate.Use the contacts list in Section 10 of this template.
Emergency Contacts are included in Section 8 of this template.

6. The University’s role in a Civil Defence emergency
Civil Defence preparedness and response falls into three categories:
Ensuring the safety of students and staff on Campus during a civil defence
emergency
Helping the wider University community during a civil defence emergency, as partof a response coordinated by the University Incident Management Team
Helping the wider Wellington City community during a civil defence emergency, as
part of a response coordinated by the Wellington Regional Emergency
Management Office and/or the National Crisis Management Centre
The Incident Management Team will advise Heads of School and CSU management iftheir buildings or parts thereof are required as part of the emergency response effort.
Note: The University’s primary focus will always be concentrated on University people andproperty; our ability to contribute to wider city response efforts will only be possible if andwhen extra capacity and resources become available.

7. Personal Emergency Planning
It is understood that before staff can commit to remedial actions at the University, it is vitalthat they know their families are safe and well. To assist in achieving this it is essential thatall staff have a Personal Emergency Plan which should include:
Communications – who and how to contact, where to meet and which parent hasresponsibilities for the children.
Preparations – radio station frequencies, exit locations, assembly areas
Transport – alternative arrangements if road and/or rail is not available
Resources – emergency supplies suitable and appropriate for both the work and
home environments
Personal Emergency Plans and Household Emergency Plan templates can be found at theWellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) website.

10. Confirming people safety in a large scale emergency
Managers are responsible for accounting for their staff during an emergency. Contact shouldbe made with each staff member who reports to them to check their safety and identify theirwhereabouts and next intentions.
For staff who are not on site, a ‘reverse telephone tree’ can be used, which means that all staffcontact their manager rather than the manager trying to reach multiple people. The telephonenetwork can fail or be delayed through overloading in a major emergency. Managers of ‘offsite’ staff should establish a mutually agreed secondary means of communicating with themthat does not rely on the telephone network. This may include internet based social mediaoptions such as WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, or Facebook.
Fire wardens are responsible for evacuating their floor or work area if necessary and reportingany exceptions or injured/trapped persons to the Building Warden. The Building Warden willreport these exceptions to a member of the attending emergency services such as a senior fireofficer, and Victoria’s Emergency Operations Centre (where it has been established) foraction.
A central list of unaccounted-for staff and students and any injured or trapped persons ismaintained for reconciliation at the Emergency Operations Centre at 6 Wai teata Road (EOC).Staff must report any staff who cannot be accounted for within an hour of a major incident totheir manager and managers must advise the most senior manager available. This shouldinclude their contact details and their last known whereabouts and intentions. Seniormanagers must report unaccounted-for staff to the EOC and notify the EOC when previouslyunaccounted-for staff have been located.
During teaching time, teaching staff act as the room warden and are responsible for the safety
of students that they are teaching.
After a major incident, senior leadership will establish further contact with staff and students. All staff and students are directed to the university website www.victoria.ac.nz for updates, andthe university email address if available.
Staff and students are encouraged to use social media to let family and friends know theirstatus.
