	97
	98	1. Policy:
	99	11. There should be written policies and procedures covering the various emergency situations which might be encountered in the operation of the jail facility. The policies and procedures relating to emergencies should include, but not be limited to:
	100	111. Exigencies requiring evacuation of all or part of the inmate population;
	101	111. Fires;
	102	111. Inmate disturbances;
4.1	103	111. Disease and Pandemics;
1.1	104	111. Hostage situations;
	105	111. Escapes and escape attempts;
	106	111. Chemical spills or contamination;
	107	111. Disruption of utilities or communications systems.
	108	111. Civil disturbances; and
	109	111. Natural disasters, including but not limited to:
	110	1111. Floods;
	111	1111. Earthquakes; and
	112	1111. Weather-related emergencies.
	113	11. Tactical plans should be adopted and implemented to provide employees with understandable and readily available strategies for responding to exigencies.
	114	11. Inmates should not be permitted control or authority over other inmates.
	115	11. Staff should protect inmates from person abuse, corporal punishment, personal injury, disease, property damage, and harassment.
	116	11. Staff and inmates should receive necessary medical treatment during and after an incident, when possible and appropriate due to incident circumstances.
	117	11. At least three days worth of food and drinking/cooking water shall be maintained for employees and inmates.
	118	1. Rationale:
	119	11. Written policies and procedures are necessary to ensure that employees are prepared during emergency situations.
4.1	120	11. An effective response to emergency situations in jails is demanding at best, but may be an extremely difficult and high-risk process without prior planning.
1.1	121
	122	CY 01_104 __DISTRIBUTION OF PLANS__
	123
	124	1. Policy:
	125	11. Emergency plans should have controlled and restricted access to prevent them from being compromised by inmates and others; however, employees should be provided sufficient information and training to ensure that they can function effectively in the event of an emergency.
	126	1. Rationale:
	127	11. The need to prevent the compromise of emergency plans should not be carried to such an extreme that staff have inadequate preparation and training for emergencies.
	128
	129	CY 01_105 __COMMUNICATION__
	130
	131	1. Policy:
	132	11. All emergency incidents shall be reported to the Sheriff as soon as possible via proper chain of command.
4.1	133	11. Emergency incidents involving State Inmates require notification to IPP and UDC Control One as soon as possible.
1.1	134	11. The Corrections Chief Deputy or designee shall determine if and when the facility may return to normal operations.
	135	11. Communication with the press should be deferred to the Corrections Chief Deputy or other designated public relations representative.
	136	1. Rationale:
	137	11. Proper and timely notifications are necessary in order to initiate additional resource response.
	138	11. Unauthorized communication with the public could have negative results.
	139
	140	CY 01_106 __UTILITIES__
	141
	142	1. Policy:
4.1	143	11. Electricity shall be shut off in the event of:
1.1	144	111. Electrical emergency;
	145	111. Flood;
	146	111. Gas leak;
	147	111. Other natural disaster, such as an earthquake, where the utility is likely to have been compromised.
4.1	148	11. The gas system shall be shut off in the event of:
1.1	149	111. Electrical emergency;
	150	111. Fire;
	151	111. Gas leak;
4.1	152	111. Other natural disasters, such as an earthquake, where the utility is likely to have been compromised.
	153	11. The water system shall be shut off in the event of:
1.1	154	111. Electrical emergency;
	155	111. Flood;
	156	111. Other natural disaster, such as an earthquake, where the utility is likely to have been compromised.
	157	111. When a utility system is turned off or on, the Corrections Chief Deputy and the WCSO Maintenance Department shall be notified.
	158	1. Rationale:
	159	11. Systematic reactive steps may help prevent or mitigate personal injury or facility damage.
	160
	161	CY 01_107 __UTILITY OFF__
	162
	163	1. Policy:
4.1	164	11. Utility systems may be shut off by any PCF employee. All PCF employees shall receive training on how to properly shut off the electricity, gas, and water utility systems.
	165	11. Utility systems should not be shut off without reason.
1.1	166	11. A facility-wide announcement should be made prior to turning off a utility system.
	167	1. Rationale:
4.1	168	11. Waiting for a specific individual to shut off a utility system could produce or amplify adverse effects including personal injury and facility damage.
1.1	169	11. Turning utility systems off without a reason could unnecessarily cause system damage, facility damage, personal injury, or operational inconvenience.
	170	11. An announcement prior to turning off a utility system could help to avoid system damage, facility damage, personal injury, or operational inconvenience.
	171	1. Procedure:
	172	11. Electricity:
	173	111. There are two sources of electrical power for the PCF facility: standard and back-up.
4.1	174	111. Before the standard electrical power is shut off, the back-up generator should first be shut off. The generator is located outside the East end of the facility and within the secure exterior perimeter. There is one switch to shut off the generator. This switch is located behind the West side panel. It is the left of two rocker switches. This rocker switch must be placed into the center “STOP” position.
1.1	175	111. In order to shutoff the standard source of electrical power for the entire facility, two switches must be turned off. They are both located inside the Main Electrical Room at the East end of the facility. This room can only be accessed from outside the facility. The first switch (ELECTRICAL MAIN-A) is located near the bottom of the the first panel on the right as you enter the room. The second switch (ELECTRICAL MAIN-B) is located along the same wall but at the far (left) end.
	176	11. Gas:
4.1	177	111. There is one valve that will shut off the natural gas line into the facility. This valve is marked “GAS MAIN.” It is located outside the Northwest corner of the Sallyport garage in the fenced area. If it is not possible to safely reach this valve, the gas company should be contacted to shut off the gas lines from a street location.
1.1	178	111. Individual appliances, such as water boilers, each have an off valve at the gas line to the appliance.
	179	11. Water:
	180	111. There are two water systems in the facility: Standard and fire suppression sprinklers.
	181	111. The standard water system has one off valve. It is located inside the PCF Sallyport garage, in the Northwest corner. There is a four-inch vertical pipe from the ground that turns horizontal shortly thereafter. Near this junction is a horizontal valve with a handle about twelve inches long labeled “WATER MAIN.” By turning this handle perpendicular with the pipe, the water will be turned off.
4.1	182	111. The fire suppression sprinkler system is split into two areas of coverage: (1) East; and (2) West and Booking. The off valves for both areas are located inside the Sallyport garage near the Northwest corner. There is a large horizontal pipe that splits into two large, vertical, parallel pipes. At each pipe junction, there is a small, blue, wheel valve; a large, blue, wheel valve; and a large, yellow, tamper indicator switch. The large, blue, wheel valves are the shutoff valves. The wheels need to be turned clockwise in order to shutoff the water supply.
1.1	183
	184	CY 01_108 __UTILITY ON__
	185
	186	1. Policy:
	187	11. Utility systems should only be returned to the on function:
	188	111. By a trained individual;
	189	111. After the reason for the utility system being shutoff has been remedied; and
	190	111. After an announcement has been made to provide notice of the action.
	191	11. Rationale:
	192	111. The guidelines above could help prevent or mitigate system damage, facility damage, or personal injury.
	193	11. Procedure:
	194	111. In order to turn a utility system back on, the switch or valve identified in the previous section should be reversed.
	195
	196	CY 01_109 __DOCUMENTATION__
	197
	198	1. Policy:
	199	11. All emergency situations related to the jail shall be documented in the jail computer system.
	200	11. Any time that a utility system is shutoff or turned back on, the event should be documented in the jail computer system log. The event should be logged as a passdown (PSD) and should include the date, time, and reason.
	201	1. Rationale:
	202	11. A written record memorializes events.
	203	11. Accurate details of events may be required at a later time.
	204
3.1	205	CY 01_110 __EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT TESTING__
1.1	206
	207	1. Policy:
3.1	208	11. Emergency equipment will be tested on a regular basis as follows:
	209	111. Generator:
	210	1111. Visual Inspection Weekly
	211	1111. Power Tested Monthly
	212	1111. Load Tested Annually
	213	1111. Inspected Semi-Annually by outside contractor
	214	111. Emergency Lighting:
	215	1111. Tested Monthly
	216	111. Alarms:
	217	1111. Tested Monthly
	218	11. Washington County Maintenance Personel will be responsible for maintaning a log of tests conducted.
	219	1. Rationale:
	220	11. Regular testing of emergency equipment is necessary to ensure it's functionality in the event of an actual event.
	221
	222	CY 01_111 __DEBRIEFING__
	223
	224	1. Policy:
1.1	225	11. After each emergency situation has concluded, a debriefing should be conducted by the Sheriff or designee.
	226	1. Rationale:
	227	11. Post-emergency debriefings are a tool for discovering and correcting problems with policies, procedures, implementation of procedures, incident management, and individual performance.
