The management of correctional emergencies must begin with a comprehensive vulnerability assessment that identifies emergency planning and response needs for the jail. Emergency planning is a process that begins with a sound foundation in the agency's routine policies and procedures and extends to a comprehensive emergency operation plan that anticipates plans for all situations. This session will provide jail personnel with an overview of the elements of emergency planning and a model process which helps ensure the development of a comprehensive emergency plan for their department. The training will include planning exercises that simulate the actual steps in the development of a jail emergency plan and will conclude with a hypothetical exercise requiring a response to a hypothetical jail emergency. The session will emphasize the importance of structuring the emergency plan in conjunction with the incident command system.
