Crisis Management

BEFORE THE FIELD:

Customize the table entries with phone numbers for the Principal Investigator, Department Chair or MSO, and back up contacts.

IN THE FIELD: 

A crisis in the field is a serious incident:

• Fatality
• Serious injury (threat to life or limb)
• Serious illness (threat to life)
• Major environmental or political disturbance (flood, fire, earthquake, terrorism, etc.)

During a Crisis in the Field Contacts:

In case of crisis, initiate first aid response and emergency procedures. Start with the main contacts and leave a message if there is no answer. Continue on to secondary and back up contacts until contact is made. Report:

• Who
• What
• When
• Where

The Report Should Be Concise and Factual. 

ON CAMPUS:

Once notification of a crisis in the field comes in, initiate a response within the first hours following the flow chart and checklist above.
