CSUB Emergency
Action Plan (Synopsis)
The potential for injuries and emergency situations always exist, regardless
of how careful or observant one may be during the course of assigned duties.
Fires, earthquakes, chemical spills, gas releases, and personal injury situations
are part of the risks faced in living and working environments. The Department
of Public Safety's Emergency Response Program attempts to anticipate the many
types of accidents and emergencies that may be encountered. However, the program's
success is highly dependent upon the participation of those individuals it
seeks to protect.
Preventing
Accidents
Many emergency situations, such as the Northridge Earthquake of 1994, are unavoidable
and unpredictable. However, secondary emergencies resulting from these events
(injury from falling objects, medical needs, lack of food and water, debris
causing trip hazards, fires, etc.) can be anticipated and planned for. Training
and preparation for potential hazards that may be faced in advance of such
a crisis can mitigate secondary emergencies.
Major Disasters
and Emergency Operations Planning
In anticipation of major disasters and incidents, California State University,
Bakersfield has developed an Emergency Operations Plan that is contained in
this website. These plans and guidelines
provide in-depth information about the University's response to major disasters
and have been distributed to all department administrators.
