About 6 hours after the quake; darkness is approaching and temperatures are dropping.

FPM has contacted Seattle Public Utilities: it may be several hours or days before they can get a crew to SPU.

ECMT has reconvened to provide status report updates.  CSOT leadership reports:

FPM has provided updates to ECMT:

• Ashton Hall has been approved for occupancy. Structural engineers are currently reviewing Emerson Hall. All other buildings are closed until they can be reviewed by the structural engineers. No one may re-enter any building until authorized.
• FPM notes that approx 3,000 people can get out of the weather once Ashton, Emerson, Gwinn, Hill and Moyer are all approved for occupation (Gwinn – 1,100 by itself).

 [CSOT leadership question:  As residence halls become available, how do we prioritize who gets to enter this shelter?  Everyone still outside will want to get out of the weather – so what’s the plan?  How is the message that Ashton to occupy communicated and to whom? Certainly, most will want to use the restroom facilities. If students have left campus, will their bed become available to other students, RLC staff, others?  Other thoughts?]

• Power remains out in Marston/Watson, Moyer, Peterson and Alexander. Fuel will be needed to maintain generators for Moyer and Marston. Available fuel supplies are being assessed.
• After Moyer is assessed by engineers, likely that Marston will be reviewed next.  Review next steps at ECMT meeting for next facilities to be reviewed by structural engineers.

 

CIS is reporting that the generator at Marston has failed for unknown mechanical reasons

Water & Food –Walls Advancement Center has water supplies and Mailing staff have taken the mailing van to Walls Center to pickup water and begin taking to various points for distribution e.g. Tiffany Loop (major congregation area).  Ready to eat food will become available when access is gained to retail inventory and campus dining facilities (Gwinn/C-Store, SUB).  Only food available at this time is what staff/departments had taken with them as they evacuated the building or was stored in cars.

Bed linens, blankets and pillows are now available from Ashton.  Other supplies require access to Hill and or Emerson (not available at this time)

Sanitation stations/restrooms are insufficient for the demand.  With Ashton open, facilities are in high demand.  Need someone checking regularly on status of supplies in each restroom & replenish.  [CSOT leadership question --- who has this responsibility? Is it in the departmental plan?]

Departments have identified essential personnel who will remain on campus tonight.  Need to identify shelter.

OSL has set up a station at Tiffany Arch for students who are leaving campus to check in --- let us know where they are going, provide contact, etc.  Also becomes a point for students to ask questions. 

Center for Worship (Tiffany Loop): started organizing a time each hour for prayer and petitions, as well as announcements and other communications (as appropriate based on ECMT updates).

First Aid is being offered in the Loop, with temporary restroom.  How will we transport severely injured patients to Gwinn or Weter when building is ready to occupy?  What is the update on Seattle EMS to transport severely injured.

What now?*

• Are there any vendors you should consider contacting? How soon do they need to be contacted?
  

• What is the impact to your department if CIS remains down for several hours or days?
  

• What actions do you need to take in the next hour? Next two hours?
  

• Have any issues or new questions emerged?
