<br />Ramsey County-Wide Emergency Operations Plan <br /> <br />Revision 5.1, June, 2005 <br /> <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 /> <br />2) Dav Care Facilities <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />3) Before and After-School Proqrams <br /> <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 /> <br />4) Health Care Facilities <br /> <br />a) Hospitals <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />b) Nursinq Homes <br /> <br />Like hospitals, nursing home evacuation requires pre-planning <br />regarding residents' needs for ambulances, buses, automobiles, <br />and wheelchair-equipped vehicles, <br /> <br />106 <br />
