What now?
- Are there any vendors you should consider contacting? Contact information for vendors is in grab and go bag. Supply vendors at least one local one out of state. How soon do they need to be contacted? Depends on supplies used and access to supplies on campus.
- What is the impact to your department if CIS remains down for several hours or days? Injury and illnesses can be treated without use of computers, supplies can be ordered by phone. Delivery however may be delayed.
- What actions do you need to take in the next hour? Many people affected by the earthquake may not be in any condition to climb the hill to Ashton. Will need transportation sources to get people up the hill or litter bearers if roads are not passable. The injured may need to be on the priority list for the first available building as they will be at greater risk by staying out side. Next two hours? As darkness comes the need for people response will increase. Victims have existed on adrenalin to get this far and personal resource for staff, faculty and students will be ebbing. Hypothermia will still be an issue when persons are allowed inside until bodies readjust.
- Have any issues or new questions emerged? If bridges are still closed what water transportation might be available to get the injured to Ballard where EMS might be able pick up and get them to the hospital? A body has been found as people make their way uphill to shelter, where is the temporary morgue and who will transport the body? Anybody have body bags.
