This Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for Security is part of a systematic planning effort on the part of the Pennsylvania College of Nursing and Health Sciences to provide for the care and the well-being of the entire College Community. This plan is meant for circumstances wherein the lives and property of individuals or the College are in imminent danger. The procedures outlined in this plan constitute those temporary measures that will be taken to maximize the protection available for threatened individuals as well as preparatory measures that should be accomplished during non-emergency time. The plan does not create elaborate new structures, but relies on the organization, skills and procedures that are followed on a day-to-day basis.
