Each department in the COS is responsible for the back up and off site storage of their critical records, not stored on the college's central server. The COS central server is backed up and tapes are stored at an alternate location on campus in addition to an off campus site.
Door cards used to identify critical equipment that may require special procedures for its protection (e.g. emergency power to freezers/refrigerators, protection from water damage, water reactive chemicals, etc.) must be placed on all spaces housing such equipment
Communication Plan
The telephone tree established by each department, will be implemented upon notification to the dept chair, or designee, by a member of the Incident Response Team.
Special Needs
COS staff will notify the COOP author concerning any special needs or requirements as they arise, to be incorporated into the annual plan update.
The College of Science buildings have back-up generators to supply power in case of electrical power failure, (except bldg 43). These generators must receive preventative maintenance on a regular schedule. All generators must be kept fully fueled with arrangements for a constant supply of diesel fuel and oil for the duration of all power outages.
