Incident Management System
An emergency is a sudden, generally unexpected occurrence or event with circumstances demanding immediate action to prevent death, serious injury and non-disruptive property damage. Emergencies are classified as minor, moderate or major and the Incident Management System (IMS) is activated accordingly.
Minor Emergency
A minor, localized department, building or campus incident that is quickly resolved with existing College resources or limited outside help. While there may be some damage or interruption, the conditions are localized and the Emergency Operations Centre activation is not needed.
Moderate Emergency
A moderate emergency is a department, building or campus incident that can be resolved by on campus response teams, with or without assistance from emergency services. This emergency has a limited duration and moderate impact to the operation of the campus with some support from the IMS Group is likely needed.
Major Emergency
A major emergency may be a single or multi-hazard situation that requires a coordinated response both within the outside of the College. Or a major disaster or imminent threat involving the entire campus and or surrounding community.
