College Reviews Protocol for Emergency Notifications North Central Missouri College in Trenton uses many methods to notify its employees and students of an emergency on campus. These procedures are a part of NCMC’s Crisis Management Plan which outlines specific actions taken to assure the safety of those associated with the College. The Plan includes the formation of a Crisis Management Team and preferred avenues for communication between this team and the college community, city, county, and state officials, and the news media. Tyson Otto, Chief Fiscal Officer and Director of Operations, commented, “A recent search for an individual by law enforcement officials near North Central Missouri College prompted us to a initiate a precautionary lockdown. Because NCMC has an established crisis plan in place, our faculty and staff were able to take decisive steps to secure people and buildings in a timely manner. Fortunately, events that day did not result in any harm to NCMC or its constituents, and they provided us with an opportunity to evaluate our emergency responses in real time.” Mr. Otto continued, “We want the public to know that the College has gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of individuals on our campus. We realize that, at any one time, there could be hundreds or even thousands of people on the grounds or in our buildings. Therefore, multiple lines of emergency communication have been established.” Advanced technology is vital. According to Alan Barnett, Chief Information Officer, “Multiple campus buildings have integrated speakers in the public areas, and audible warnings can be sent electronically to play through these speakers and every campus telephone simultaneously. The warning message can be live or pre-recorded. A text and email version of the same message is sent (and displayed on college’s website) through the use of Community Connection, a free service offered by the Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri. NCMC patrons may sign up for this service by visiting www.onlinefarmersbank. com/community-connection. Also, the college’s Crisis Plan can be viewed on our website home page (www.ncmissouri.edu) through an app called ‘In Case of Crisis.’ This is a free app which can be downloaded to any mobile device.” “The use of this multi-faceted communication system is necessary for the notification of students and staff in the event of an emergency, and we strive to deliver quick and accurate information to ensure the safety and well-being of our patrons,” said Mr. Otto. NCMC Commuter Connection NCMC Residential Life wants commuting students to be aware of the “Commuter Connection Program”. The Emergency Connection allows non-residents to stay on campus during emergency situations. This is a free service. For example, if the weather is bad & travel is dangerous, a student can contact a Residence Hall Coordinator and make arrangements to stay on campus for the night. The second option is Short-Term Connection. This allows a non-resident student to stay overnight on campus during non-emergency, short-term/ temporary cases. The nightly fee is $16 per night for one person or $12 for two students who want to share a room. For example, students who are in a program for a week or two may stay on campus to better prepare for tests or labs etc. This service is contingent on space available in the residence halls on a first-come first-served basis.
