Letter from President Dr. Jennifer Lindon
Hazard Community and Technical College is committed to protecting the safety, security, and welfare of the students, staff, faculty, and visitors to each of our campuses. This section of the KCTCS Emergency Operations Plan, Attachment 6, Annex F: Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan, herein referred to as the Plan, is specific to Hazard Community & Technical College and addresses emergency and disaster response at Hazard Community & Technical College.
In accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive — 5, the Plan incorporates National Incident Management System concepts and principles, and utilizes the Incident Command System for management of emergency events. The Plan provides the opportunity for the Hazard Community & Technical College community to recover from disasters quickly. Thus, the Plan provides a means to minimize the impact of an incident while saving and maximizing the effectiveness of College resources.
This Plan does not eliminate the need for an Emergency Procedures Guide for daily incidents and other types of emergencies not addressed within the scope of this Plan.
Staff and students are encouraged to continue their on-going efforts in emergency preparedness, planning, and training in order to enhance disaster response and recovery. Those assigned duties under the plan receiving the Plan shall review and become committed to the Plan goal of protecting the welfare of the College community.
I encourage all of you to take the time to familiarize yourself with the responsibilities in this plan. Protecting the safety and security of our college community is a responsibility we can only fulfill by working together. I am committed to joining with you in our efforts to meet that shared responsibility.
Dr. Jennifer Lindon, President

Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-vi
Approval & Implementation
This Emergency Operations Plan was prepared by Hazard Community & Technical College with assistance
from Kentucky Community & Technical College System Director of Operations and Emergency Services to
develop, implement and maintain a viable all-hazards preparedness and response capability and to
establish a comprehensive approach to providing consistent, effective, and efficient coordination across
Hazard Community & Technical College (HCTC).
This plan addresses emergency and disaster response activities on the HCTC Campuses located in
Southeastern Kentucky.
The HCTC Office of Security & Crisis Management shall be responsible for Plan oversight. This EOP is based
on the all-hazards concept of plans for natural and man-made disasters and incidents. This plan is flexible,
and may be activated in part or in whole, depending on the specific nature of the emergency and decisions
by College administration.
This EOP shall be activated under the following circumstances:
• When ordered by the HCTC President
• When the HCTC Crisis Management Coordinator deems it necessary to declare an
emergency for the purpose of safeguarding the lives and property of the HCTC
community.
• When governmental officials declare a State of Emergency that affects HCTC, either
locally, regionally or statewide.
• When a Presidential declaration of National Emergency is made.
This EOP and supporting contents are hereby approved and supersede all previous plans and editions.
This EOP is effective immediately upon signing. Periodic updates and minor changes necessary to maintain
the accuracy of this plan may be made by the Crisis Management Coordinator, when necessary.
Approved: _________________________ Date: _____________

1. PURPOSE, SITUATION OVERVIEW AND THREAT
1.A. Purpose
The HCTC Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is to be implemented to deal with emergencies and disasters,
and is intended to protect lives and property through effective use of available staff and resources during
emergency operations. It is placed into operation whenever a natural or manmade emergency or disaster
affecting the College reaches proportions where that situation cannot be controlled by routine measures.
Nothing in this Plan shall be construed in a manner that limits the use of good judgment and common
sense in matters not foreseen or covered by the elements of this Plan.
1.B. Situation Overview
Hazard Community & Technical College employs approximately 200 full-time employees and 150 part-
time; approximately 3,131 students are enrolled, with an estimated additional 820 high school dual-
enrollment students. The college consists of six locations:
• Bailey-Stumbo Building– Perry County
• Hazard Campus – Perry County
• Technical Campus – Perry County
• Lees College Campus – Breathitt County
• Leslie County Center – Leslie County
• Knott County Branch – Knott County
When HCTC lacks capabilities or resources to address needs related to an emergency or disaster, it will
rely heavily upon local and state agencies or private sector entities.
1.C. Threat and Hazard Analysis Summary
HCTC is vulnerable to a wide array of hazards that threaten life and property. The KCTCS Emergency
Operations Plan, the KCTCS Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Kentucky River Area Development District
Hazard Mitigation Plan identify these potential hazards. The HCTC Emergency Response and Crisis
Management Team (CMT) consider the most likely risks as:
• Weather events (tornados, thunderstorms, severe winter weather)
• Flooding events (flash floods)
• Violent incidents (threats, criminal activity, gunshots heard on or near campus, hostage
situation, domestic violence)
• Fire (fires within buildings, vehicles in parking lots)
• Transportation events (air, interstate and local major traffic arteries)
This does not mean that other events will not occur; however this Plan discusses the most likely
occurrences and/or highest risk events.
Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-2
2. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the HCTC College Annex incorporates
the basic elements of the Incident Command System (ICS), while making necessary adjustments to
accommodate the unique needs of HCTC. ICS is the model tool for command, control and coordination
of a response, and it provides a means to coordinate the efforts of the College and external partners as
they work toward the common goal of stabilizing an incident and protecting life, property and the
environment. The major role of HCTC in an emergency or disaster response will be to support local
emergency responders while maintaining accountability.
2.A. Incident Command System
KCTC Policy 3.3.17 officially adopts ICS for use in all emergency incidents, crisis and disaster responses.
Kentucky Revised Statutes 39A.230 requires the use of one multi-risk, multi-agency, unified incident
command or management system to be used by all state agencies responding to the scene of an
emergency, declared emergency, disaster, or catastrophe.
2.B. Emergency Declaration & Plan Activation
The decision to declare a state of emergency at HCTC rests with the College President. Following a
declaration of emergency, the HCTC Vice President of Administrative and Business Affairs or the Director
of Campus Safety and Security will implement this plan.
2.C. Emergency Operations Center Locations
HCTC President’s Office Conference Room JCC 109A is designated as HCTC Emergency Operations Center
(EOC), with an alternate location at the JCC 104. The Dean of Operations will coordinate with the Director
of Information Services to ensure that the EOC is equipped to function as needed. The Dean of Operations
will serve as the EOC Manager. All activities will be monitored and coordinated from the EOC. Requests
for personnel, equipment, supplies, and requests for information, regardless of the source will be flow
through the EOC to ensure the best use of resources to handle the emergency.
3. ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
3.A. Organization
The organizational structure of HCTC consists of the HCTC Cabinet and Crisis Management Team.

Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-7
• Have the authority to provide a support function in a HCTC EOP-related role
• Possess or have timely access to resources necessary for providing adequate services at
HCTC
HCTC can request emergency assistance from the private sector. The private sector may consist of the
following:
• Private owners of critical infrastructure (including facilities that could be used as a
resource)
• A response organization (private ambulance services, environmental clean-up services)
3.D.5. Local Government
Local government agencies will assume the Primary response role for most emergencies and disasters;
HCTCS will provide support. Local government agencies:
• Have a unique set of resources, expertise, information, skills or assets that is not
available from HCTC or the KCTC System
• Are known and accepted providers of emergency or disaster resources, expertise,
information, skills or assets that are needed at HCTC
• Have demonstrated/assured that they can fulfill the emergency or disaster assignments
of responsibility that are assigned to them
• Have the jurisdictional authority to provide an emergency or disaster function in a
response at HCTC
4. INFORMATION COLLECTION, ANALYSIS, AND DISSEMINATION
HCTC will collect, analyze, and disseminate information to the KCTCS System EOC and local (Perry,
Breathitt, and Leslie) county EOC(s). Situational Reports (SITREPS) and damage assessments are typically
shared with the KCTCS System and county EOCs.
Prior to the public release of data, particularly criminal activity, information must be vetted. Information
regarding an incident is to be released on a need-to-know basis only, and with the prior approval of the
KCTCS Director of Operations and Emergency Services. The System Office Director of Emergency Services
and the General Counsel are presumed to have a need-to-know
4.A. COMMUNICATION/NOTIFICATION
The President and/or Assistant to the President are primarily responsible for communications during an
incident and updates to the campus community. The Director Technology Solutions will support the EOC,
and the College by maintaining information systems prior to, during, and after emergencies and disasters.
All communications should address the needs of the whole community, including students and staff with
sensory disabilities (deaf, hard of hearing, blind, low vision, deaf-blind, and speech disabilities) as well as
persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Ensure that the communications needs of persons
with disabilities and others with access and functional needs are met.
Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-8
SNAP is the notification modality that the College President uses to notify the HCTC community of a
potential threat. SNAP Messages typically convey actionable information pertaining to safety/security,
operations, and communications. HCTC leadership responsible for these areas will also be responsible for
sending any SNAP messages. As outlined in the KCTCS System Emergency Operations Plan, Technology
Solutions will assist in maintaining the system and ensuring the appropriate individuals have both the
access and the ability to send required messages and may serve as a back up to the primary SNAP
coordinators, but will not routinely serve as the primary coordinator.
In the event of an incident, the following communication tasks will be completed to ensure appropriate
notifications have been made:
• Call 911 immediately
• Initiate Safety Alert Notification Process (SNAP) Alerts
• Notify schools providing students in Dual Credit
• Update and monitor social media to provide accurate information
• Provide detailed information to College President and Policy Group
• Provide detailed information to KCTC System Office
• Coordinate communication activities with local EOCs
4.A.1. Means of Communication
Communication during an incident will be a priority for the College. Communication is typically
transmitted via:
• Land line telephones (limited but very reliable)
• Voice over Internet Protocol telephones (limited uninterrupted power supplies)
• Cell phones (voice, text, social media)
• Radios
• Computers/networks (limited uninterrupted power supplies)
• NOAA weather radio (receipt of weather notifications)
• Electronic Messaging (sign boards)
4.A.2. Notification
In the event of an incident which poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of the HCTC
community, HCTC sends out emergency notifications and alert. HCTC has various systems in place for
communicating information quickly to individuals. Some or all of these methods of communications may
be activated and includes emails, text messages, and emergency alerts, posted on the HCTC Facebook
page and website.
• SNAP Alerts – HCTC releases emergency notifications via the Safety Alert Notification Process (SNAP). HCTC students, faculty and staff automatically receive emergency alerts as text messages sent to their Short Message Service (SMS) capable cell phones. Messages are only sent to users during an emergency. Emergency SNAP notifications are disseminated via the College Security & Crisis Management Team, assisted as needed by the Marketing and Communications
Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-9
Department. Follow-up information for an emergency is communicated by the same means as the original notification. “All Clear” messages are issued once the situation has been resolved.
• 911 Alerts – Whenever 911 is dialed from a College VOIP phone, a record is generated within Cisco Emergency Responder and sent via email, text, and phone to members of the College Crisis Management Team, the Emergency Response Team, and select others. Select members of this group as receive notifications of 911 calls from all college campuses. The record includes details pertaining to the caller’s extension, location and time. 911-Alert testing procedures are found in Appendix E, Standard Operating Procedures.
5. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, AND LOGISTICS
All assets (human resources, facility, and equipment resources) of HCTC will become the purview of the
Crisis Management Team and Executive Policy Group to direct in any way to respond to an emergency or
disaster.
Documentation of records is vital prior to, during, and after an incident. Records will be used to determine
state or federal reimbursement and account for all actions taken during the response and recovery
phases; therefore, detailed documentation of assets, costs, and time is necessary. Records deemed
essential should be identified, and procedures should be established for their maintenance and
protection; this includes backing up electronic files. Procedures should be put in place to assure all
emergency costs are easily identified.
The local government agency Incident Command will be instrumental in monitoring and documenting
needs and requests. Personnel in the HCTC EOC will handle and document available resources and
requests as well as keep disaster records in relation to damage, expenses, time, assistance and recovery.
Accounting will be necessary to keep records dealing with damages, and costs associated with the
incident.
6. PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
6.A. Program Roles, Responsibilities, and Administration
The HCTC Dean of Operations shall ensure that the plan is updated annually. Each division, department
and office mentioned in this plan shall maintain updated contacts, policies, practices, protocols, and other
information as appropriate. Revisions may be made based on operational and regulatory changes, best
practices and corrective actions identified through exercises, emergency activations and/or other
assessment processes. Departmental revisions shall be communicated to the Office of Security and Crisis
Management.
6.A.1. Plan Revisions
This plan will be reviewed, exercised, and updated on an annual basis. Revisions should be distributed to
individuals and organizations which have received previous versions of this EOP as identified in the Record
of Distribution.
Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-10
6.A.2. Record of Distribution
The Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan is available electronically through
the HCTC intranet. Printed copies are distributed officially based on individual role and responsibility in
implementing the plan. A Record of Distribution will be used to support the official distribution and list
those tasked within this Plan. Distribution to the public may also occur, but without sensitive information.

APPENDIX 2 – PROTECTIVE ACTIONS
SITUATION
Events may occur that require the protection of students and staff from an external threat. The
requirements for various protective actions need to be communicated clearly when ordered by the EOC
or an Incident Commander.
Evacuation. HCTC Emergency Response and Crisis Management Team have the authority to order the
evacuation of buildings or select areas. An order for evacuation may also be issued by first responders
with jurisdictional authority, based on the location of an incident and the direct impact to the campus. An
evacuation of a building does not automatically result in the cancellation of classes or the closing of all or
part of the campus. Should an evacuation of a building significantly affect the ability to reconvene normal
operations, a separate approval to cancel classes or close a portion or all of a facility may be required
following established policies. Any absences resulting from closures will be handled in accordance with
KCTCS leave policies and procedures.
Shelter-In-Place is the immediate securing of students and staff in the building they currently occupy.
HCTC Emergency Response and Crisis Management Team have the authority to order Shelter-In-Place.
Shelter-In-Place orders may also be issued by local government, based on the location of an incident as
related to an individual campus, and will be supported by HCTC.
Temporary Closure means cancellation of all non-essential functions and events until further notice. Each
campus has the authority to close its campus or specific facilities in response to an incident or threat.
HCTC has the authority to close the College as a whole in response to an incident or threat. The length of
closure will be based on the type of incident, severity, and any damage to campus facilities.
Only essential personnel should remain on campus unless they are ordered to leave by HCTC Emergency
Response and Crisis Management Team or local emergency response agency personnel. This protective
action is aimed at protecting students and staff by keeping them out of the hazard area and away from
emergency response operations.
Emergency Evacuation for Persons with Functional Needs
The following provides a general evacuation procedure for persons with functional needs that make
exiting difficult.
Student and staff with functional needs may develop their own facilities’ evacuation plans and identify
their primary and secondary evacuation routes from each building they use.
• Be familiar with evacuation options.
• Seek evacuation assistants who are willing to help in case of an emergency.
Persons with functional needs have four basic evacuation options:
Hazard Community & Technical College Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 6, Annex F, KCTCS EOP)
F-31
• Horizontal evacuation: using building exits to the outside ground level or, on upper
floors, going into unaffected areas.
• Stairway evacuation: using steps to reach ground level exits from the building.
• Stay in Place: unless danger is imminent, remaining in a room with an exterior window,
a telephone and a solid or fire-resistant door.
• Area of Refuge: with an evacuation assistant, go to an area of refuge away from obvious
danger.
