Emergency Procedures
Procedures for handling emergency situations in the facility have been established to limit and to control injuries and property damage. The Security Operations Center monitors all building emergency systems and is open twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
The PEC is equipped with closed circuit television cameras mounted in various locations inside and outside. The security personnel monitor these cameras from the Security Operations Center.
The Security Operations Center becomes the communications center and command post in the event of an emergency. The ACCD employs the Incident Command model for management of significant emergency incidents. An Incident Commander (IC) is designated to oversee, manage and make decisions in regards to an emergency situation. The IC directs PEC personnel and acts as liaison between police, medical, civil defense and fire services during the emergency. A Department Incident Commander (IC) is available at all times and identified based on immediate availability. An IC may initially be the highest-ranking security manager, supervisor or lead on duty. The IC is subject to change during the course of an emergency. Your Event Coordinator will keep the Client and service contractors informed in emergency situations and of decisions relating to events.
In the event of an emergency, the Client or any person on site may dial 911 directly from any phone, call the Security Operations Center by dialing 4111 from any house phone or the Client may call the Event Coordinator by radio Evacuation is required any time an audible fire alarm sounds. A general fire alarm can be heard throughout the facility (north, south, or both) using sirens, strobes and verbal announcements. In the event of a facility-wide power failure, the facility is equipped with an emergency generator designed to provide emergency lighting and power within ten seconds of the failure. The facility is equipped with illuminated exit signs at every pedestrian exit. Electronic, magnetic door holders will release all self-closing fire and smoke doors in the related trouble zone.
