Emergency Response:

1. In an emergency or disaster, ensure your personal safety by taking appropriate protective actions, such as:
   
   • Earthquake:  Drop, Cover, and Hold On
   • Fire:  Rescue, Alarm, Contain, and Extinguish/Evacuate
   • Active Shooter:  Run, Hide, Fight
2. Check the environment around you for people that might be injured or hazards or damage:
   
   • For people around you that might be injured and need medical assistance
   • Hazards resulting from emergency or disaster that present life safety threats (e.g., fire, gas leak, electrical shorts)
   • Damage to the structure that might necessitate evacuation (collapse of a wall or ceiling)
3. Remain with your unit or department if safe to do so and report to your supervisor
   
   • Refrain from calling 911 or LLUH Security unless reporting casualties or an immediate life safety threat
   • Assist as directed with caring for injured people
   • Each unit or department should complete the Disaster Condition Assessment Form (DCAF)

Emergency Operations Plans:

Department Emergency Plan

The Department Emergency Plan Template is provided for all LLUH departments and units to establish their area specific emergency plan. This plan provides information on how to respond to disaster and emergency conditions, the roles and responsibilities of each department, and LLUH communication resources and contacts. The template will be updated annually in order to maintain accurate and current information; departments should access and update their area specific information each year to maintain their emergency plan.

• Department Emergency Plan Template (LLUH)
• Department Emergency Plan Template (BMC Only)

LLUH Emergency Operations Plan

The LLUH Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) establishes administrative authority and guidance for leadership during declared emergencies and disasters. This plan is primarily used by the LLUH Command Center staff and does not provide area specific instructions or protocols (see Department Emergency Plan for area specific instructions). The LLUH EOP is designed to address the needs of LLUH entities through designated disaster representatives from each entity and integration with Department Disaster Plans.
