____________________________________________________________________________________

Purpose:

Eastern Wyoming College, by its nature and mission, cares for its employees and students. The Eastern Wyoming College Crisis Management Plan details the responsibilities of EWC that when properly implemented, will help the college respond to a crisis.

A crisis can cover two types of events:

• Emergencies – any situation that may involve or threaten to cause loss of life or injury to employees or students or damage to property (e.g., fires, explosions, accidents, vehicular mishaps or severe weather events.)
• Non-emergencies – any situation that threatens the reputation or stature of the college, poses legal ramifications, but does not pose a direct physical threat to students, employees, or property.

In such a crisis, at the determination of the College President or his/her designee, the Eastern Wyoming College Crisis Management Plan and Crisis Communication Plan will be implemented. The plans will be reviewed and updated annually in July.
