TMCC Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) is committed to protecting the welfare of its community members as well as its intellectual property and facilities. The Truckee Meadows Community College Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is the official plan designated to address specific hazards and circumstances that constitute an emergency for TMCC staff, faculty, students, and property. This EOP is a guide for emergency management and coordination of all phases of emergency response in order to minimize the impacts of disasters and incidents, to protect people and property, and to restore any interruptions to College operations. Truckee Meadows Community College can best prepare to meet the enormous challenges emergencies present by working together. Thus, TMCC expects individuals and departments to effectively organize, coordinate, and direct available resources toward emergency response and recovery. The EOP is designed to help students, staff, and faculty respond appropriately when emergency conditions exist. Although events are unpredictable, this EOP allows for immediate response procedures thereby minimizing danger to lives and property. Every member of TMCC should review this plan, in order to understand her or his role should an emergency or disaster occur.
