Primary: Julie McClure

Responsibilities:
Under the supervision of the Incident Commander, during an emergency, the Planning function involves the use of various methods to efficiently gather information, weigh and document the information for significance, and actively assess the status of the emergency. This knowledge and understanding about the situation at hand is vital to the effective management of a response.
- Check in with the Incident Commander for a situation briefing.
- Assume duties as needed until staff is available and assigned.
- Collect, organize and analyze situation information.
- Collaborate with Incident Command to track area-wide information on major incidents, road closures, utility outages, etc. to inform next steps.
- Consider possible scenarios and plan accordingly.
- Maintain a time log of the incident, noting all action and reports.
- Log in all written reports and maintain for reference.
- Collaborate with Operations/Logistics to check staff roster and ensure everyone is accounted for on all impacted campuses and update periodically.
- Report missing persons to the Incident Commander.
- Coordinate with Incident Command and Human Resources staff to determine the need for temporary employees and resources.
- Work with Incident Commander and Operations to ensure work/rest guidelines are being met, as applicable.
- Coordinate personnel/volunteers in response and recovery efforts.
Advice related to decisions to close a school/office. Work with the Incident Commander and PIO to evaluate community factors, including an understanding of the circumstances of other local School Districts.
– For example, by default, if any District closes where we have programs, programs on those campuses will close.
– A site closing does not automatically mean that staff will be off. In some situations staff will report to an alternative site or be assigned remote work.
