View/print this checklist as a PDF file.

FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION
	Remain calm.
	Turn on your cellular phone.
	If situation warrants evacuation of your building, coordinate evacuation with Public Safety. See Section 8.2 of the Emergency Response Plan on Evacuation Procedures.  Do not go to the incident site.
	If your office or building is not affected, go to the staging area at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). (If unable to report to EOC, call Dispatch at 208-282-2515.) Make contact with the Operations Coordinator with a list of team members and obtain equipment and assignments.
	Determine the number of personnel available to respond.
	Keep the Operations Coordinator briefed.
	Develop an Action Plan for Search & Rescue operations. The plan should have contingencies for:
	Safety instruction for emergency team members.
	Protective equipment and clothing.
	Identifying structural damage to buildings or severe hazards that would require specialized equipment and personnel to successfully rescue a victim without further harm to team members and/or the victim.
	Implementing Search & Rescue mutual aid plans.
	Report the results of assignment operations to the Situation Status Officer under the Planning Section (deaths, injuries, etc.).
	Keep a log of your activities.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
	Search the campus.
	Assist and rescue victims.
	Evacuate and remove persons trapped or injured.

SUPPORT RESPONSIBILITIES
	Damage Assessment: Collect and report information concerning damaged facilities searched.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS:

• Outside Agency Issues
  • Responding agencies have protocols that are specific to their agency and communication must be established and maintained to ensure that efforts do not conflict.
• Extended Operations
  • Some incidents could extend for several hours or days. Search & Rescue must determine continued availability of staff and resources and arrange for replacements.
• Deployment and Release
  • It is important that Search & Rescue closely monitor the use and release of outside resources. Outside agencies are not familiar with the campus and should be either thoroughly briefed or assisted by a member of the campus.
