From time to time, it is necessary that we evacuate downtown campus county government buildings for any number of emergency reasons• fire, earthquake, hazardous material spills/leaks, terrorist threat/workplace violence (active shooter, hostage situation, and bomb threats), etc. In recent years, bomb threats have become a method by many individuals to harass or devastate both private industry and government agencies. No bomb threat should be overlooked or simply dismissed as a crank call. Each threat shall be treated as a valid threat to the safety of the people in the downtown campus. All Mason County departments are responsible for planning/training/exercising evacuation plans of their respective building/facility/work areas. The County Division of Emergency Management (DEM) can assist in developing your evacuation plan The overall effort will be accomplished under the auspices of the County Safety Committee in order that evacuation assembly areas are coordinated among other county departments. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN A BOMB THREAT IS RECEIVED! Remain Calm 2. If possible, keep the caller talking. Use the attached ` Bomb Threat" checklist (Enclosure IV). Fill-in as much information as possible while receiving the call. Add relevant infoiination later as you remember it. Give the document to a City of Shelton Police Department or Sheriff's Office representative and remain available for debriefing. 3. Call or direct someone to call MACECOM (Dispatch) at 9-1-1 to notify them of the threat. 4. MACECOM (Dispatch) will notify the City of Shelton Police Department (Incident Commander), Mason County Sheriff's Office, Central Mason Fire District #5, County Division of Emergency Management (DEM), County Public Works Department, and the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). 5. Following consultations with the BOCC, law enforcement and fire safety authorities the Incident Commander will request Emergency Management to initiate the County Alert Notification System to all separate County buildings and departments regarding any decision to evacuate and/or close offices (See Enclosure I and II). Once the Mason County Building #1 telephone receptionist is notified they will notify the following county Offices within the building• ® Commissioners Office ext 419 ® Assessor ext 492 ® Auditor ext 468 ® Human Resources ext 268 ® Support Services ext 419 ® Treasurer ext 475 DEM will follow up the telephone alert notifications by sending a county wide e- mail message reference the evacuation. 6 Each elected official/appointed department head or their designated alternate representative is responsible for the orderly evacuation of their respective work areas including selecting the assemble area location to be used. 7. When requested by the Incident Commander (IC), the City of Shelton Public Works Department (with support from the County Public Works Department) will provide sufficient barricades and barrier ribbon to prevent motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic from entering the effected area(s). 8. The above procedures (minus paragraph 2 above) will be used during other emergency events (hostage situation, active shooter, earthquake, fire, etc.) affecting any county building/facility. EVACUATION Upon the receipt of a bomb threat to a specific building, the building will become a crime scene and be evacuated until Law Enforcement deems it safe for re-entry. Other emergencies requiring evacuations will be conducted under the direction of the elected official, department head or Fire Official. After being told to evacuate a building* 1. All employees and visitors will safely evacuate the effected building(s) to the instructed assemble area. 2. If time permits* a. Turn off power to all machines (computers, printers, etc.). b. Leave open doors to lessen damage in the event of a blast. Close doors in the event of fire c. Take your outer garments (coats, jackets, sweaters, etc.) and personal belongings (purses, backpacks, briefcases, etc.). Plan to not re-enter the building d. Do not touch or examine any unusual or suspicious packages, bags, or other items. Immediately report anything strange to your supervisor. e. Designated individuals in effected buildings, when safe to do so, will post signage on their respective building entrances indicating "Building Closed Due to Evacuation" (Enclosure III). 3. All persons are to walk calmly to the nearest stair exits. Do not use the elevators. Flevators are to be used for persons in wheel chairs or others having difficulty using the stairs. 4. Employees working in the County Downtown Campus will leave their building and proceed to one of the County's designated assembly areas, as directed by their supervisor or his/her designated alternate representative. Recommended assembly areas are located at: • City of Shelton Civic Center, 525 W. Cota Street, Shelton • Memorial Hall, 210 Franklin Street, Shelton • Evergreen Elementary School, 900 West Franklin Street, Shelton 5. Once at the assemble area employees will report to their supervisor or his/her designated alternate representative and wait for further instructions Supervisors will furnish a "roll call" sheet for accountability to their department liaison at Mason County Sheriffs Office. 6 In accordance with the Mason County Continuity of Government plan the County Commissioners will evacuate their building immediately. 7. During an evacuation, DO NOT attempt to move your car (especially if it is parked in a county government parking lot) unless instructed to do so. The streets around the Downtown Campus will need to be kept open for first responder vehicles (fire engines, ambulances, etc.) and to assure personnel accountability. 8. The County Sheriff's Office will evacuate the County Jail if it is determined to be necessary. 9. For a bomb threat each department will designate one individual to assist the search team in answering questions and providing other relevant infoiination regarding immediate work areas The designee will go to the Mason County Sheriff's Office and remain available until relieved by the Incident Commander. 10. After the building has been cleared of the emergency situation, county employees will be advised as to when they may re-enter the building or retrieve their vehicles to depart the area. 11 In the event you were away from the Downtown Campus when your building was evacuated and upon returning there are barricades up and streets have been blocked off, do not enter the barricaded area. Employees shall report to one of the designated assembly areas for employee accountability and to receive further instructions. 12. If the building remains closed for the remainder of the work day each elected official/appointed department head or their designated alternate representative will determine employee release from duty. 13. If the emergency event causes a county building/facility to be closed for an extended period of time the affected department(s) will activate their Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP).
