Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Revision 5.1,June, 2005 <br /> security professionals for higher education. Security at each <br /> of the Universities will be subscribed to the enhanced <br /> Community Watch system when that is running in late 2004. <br /> 2) Day Care Facilities <br /> Licensed day-care facilities will receive alerting and warning from <br /> previously described means or, in the case of extreme emergencies, <br /> from a representative in the EOC. Should evacuation be required, day- <br /> care facilities will use all available private transportation. The EOC is <br /> to be notified of additional transportation requirements by each facility. <br /> Unlicensed daycares may not be reached in a timely fashion by <br /> specialized means, however information broadcast to the general <br /> public should reach these entities. <br /> 3) Before and After-School Programs <br /> Such programs, whether in the form of childcare programs, <br /> athletic contests, or cultural events, will require alert and warning <br /> using route-alerting procedures in addition to other means. EMHS <br /> and the municipal emergency managers make contact with these <br /> and other programs through community outreach. <br /> 4) Health Care Facilities <br /> a) Hospitals <br /> Although capable of sheltering in place for many emergency <br /> scenarios, highly detailed hospital plans will facilitate a successful <br /> evacuation. Of significant importance is the routine classification of <br /> patient transportation needs so that such data is readily available. <br /> As part of the new Metropolitan Medical Response System and the <br /> Metro Hospitals Compact, each of the hospitals in the county have <br /> access to special interoperable radios and can be contacted <br /> directly. <br /> East Metro Radio Control, the coordinating system for Emergency <br /> Medical Response in the County is able to contact hospitals directly <br /> in an emergency and will do so at the request of the on-scene <br /> incident commander, PSAP dispatch center, or EMHS. <br /> b) Nursing Homes <br /> Like hospitals, nursing home evacuation requires pre-planning <br /> regarding residents' needs for ambulances, buses, automobiles, <br /> and wheelchair-equipped vehicles. <br /> 106 <br />
