Overview
Daley College
Richard J. Daley College is located on the Southwest side of Chicago. It has achieved significant
recognition for being a center of excellence in Manufacturing Technology. Daley College offers
associate’s degrees, advanced certificates, and basic certificates with course work that transfers to four-
year colleges and universities, as well as GED, ESL, and Continuing Education programs. Richard J. Daley
College has a satellite campus, the Arturo Velasquez Institute (AVI), which offers general education and
applied science courses.
Philosophy
The philosophy of Daley College, derived from the philosophy of the City Colleges of Chicago as defined
by the Illinois Master Plan for Higher Education and the Illinois Public Community College Act, is to
accept all eligible students and to provide them with an education appropriate to their needs, that will
allow them to achieve the kind of economic, cultural, and social life they desire.
Planning Approach
As part of the development of the Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan, the City Colleges
of Chicago engaged in a Security and Risk Assessment process. The objective of the Security and Risk
Assessment process is to assess the current state of preparedness for dealing with terrorist and criminal
threats, to identify gaps where activities fall short, and to propose measures to improve preparedness
and abilities to thwart harmful acts targeting their premises.

Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan is to describe the coordinated
response and recovery to a range of natural and man-made occurrences with the potential to disrupt
normal operations of the College and threaten the safety of Daley College students, faculty, and staff.
This plan contains four short and long-term strategies for implementing all hazards integrated
management:
• Identify opportunities for enhancing coordination and communication within the Daley
College system, with the CCC system at large, as well as with state/local agencies and
other industry partners.
• Provide training, education, and outreach to enhance core competencies for safety,
security, and emergency preparedness throughout the College and assess the need for
integrated training.
• Promote continuous improvement in safety, security, and emergency preparedness
throughout the Daley College system. Assess and target resources toward the most
frequent types of accidents and security incidents and the most catastrophic risks to
students, faculty and staff, and community members.
• Develop and implement continuous improvement and innovation goals for the
management of existing and future programs and projects through data collection
and analysis and coordinated program reviews.
These strategies are grounded in the all hazards management approach to safety and security
throughout the CCC system. In this approach, programs, projects, and activities are not just related
but integrated. Integration means regular communication and coordination of common concerns,
strategies, and effective practices for all safety, security, and emergency management activities to
ensure that improvements in one area do not duplicate or diminish functionalities in another area.

All Hazards Approach to Safety and Security Management
In addition to an integrated approach to planning, this All Hazards Plan is based on the framework of
the four interconnected phases of emergency management: prevention-mitigation, preparedness,
response, and recovery. Each phase influences the other three phases. This plan addresses
emergency preparedness activities that take place during all four phases of emergency management.
1. Mitigation
As part of the City Colleges of Chicago, Daley College will conduct mitigation activities as an integral
part of the emergency management program. Mitigation is intended to eliminate hazards, reduce
the probability of hazards causing an emergency situation, or lessen the consequences of
unavoidable hazards. Mitigation should be a pre-disaster activity, although mitigation may also occur
in the aftermath of an emergency situation with the intent of avoiding repetition of the situation.
2. Preparedness
Preparedness activities will be conducted to develop the response capabilities needed in the event of an
emergency. Preparedness is everyone’s responsibility. Daley College departments and offices must
develop plans and procedures to assist in the overall implementation and maintenance of emergency
plans. Among the preparedness activities included in the emergency management program are:
• Providing emergency equipment and facilities
• Emergency planning, including maintaining this plan, its annexes, and appropriate
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
• Conducting or arranging appropriate training for emergency responders, emergency
management personnel, other local officials, and volunteer groups who assist this
jurisdiction during emergencies
• Conducting periodic drills and exercises to test emergency plans and training
3. Response
Daley College will respond to emergency situations effectively and efficiently. The focus of most of this
plan is on responding to emergencies. Response operations are intended to resolve a situation while
minimizing casualties and property damage. Response activities include warnings, emergency medical
services, firefighting, law enforcement operations, evacuation, shelter and mass care, Emergency Public
Information, search and rescue, as well as other associated functions.
4. Recovery
If a disaster occurs, City Colleges of Chicago will carry out a recovery program that involves both short-
term and long-term efforts. Daley College will be part of those efforts. Short-term operations seek to
restore vital services to the district community and provide for the basic needs of the public. Long-term
recovery focuses on restoring the district to its normal state. The federal government, pursuant to the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, provides the vast majority of disaster
recovery assistance. The recovery process includes assistance to individuals, businesses, and
government and other public institutions. Examples of recovery programs include temporary housing,
restoration of district services, debris removal, restoration of utilities, disaster mental health services,
and reconstruction of damaged roads and facilities.

Assumptions in the Development of the All Hazards Safety and Security Plan
Emergency planning requires a commonly accepted set of assumed operational conditions that provide
a foundation for establishing protocols and procedures. It is standard practice to base planning on
potential worst-case conditions. For Daley College, severe weather hazards pose the most probable
threat of emergency conditions. Using this as a basis for planning, the following assumptions were
incorporated into this plan:
• The majority of students, faculty and staff have cell phones that can be used for
emergency notification.
• An emergency may occur at any time of the day or night, weekend or holiday, with
little or no warning.
• Campus emergencies can be caused by an accident, a natural disaster, or criminal
behavior by an individual or group. This can include cyber threats to the college.
• The succession of events in an emergency is not predictable. Therefore, this manual
will serve as a guide and may require modifications in order to meet the requirements
of the emergency.
• Critical lifeline utilities may be interrupted, including water delivery, electrical power,
natural gas, telephone communications, microwave and repeater-based radio systems,
cellular telephones, and information systems.
• Regional and local services may not be available.
• Major roads, overpasses, bridges, rapid transit and commuter rail transit, and local
streets may be damaged.
• Buildings and structures, including homes, may be damaged.
• Structural damage may cause injuries and displacement of people.
• Contact with families and households of the CCC community may be interrupted.
• People may become stranded at the Colleges, and conditions may be unsafe to travel.
• A disaster that affects Daley College will likely affect the district and the surrounding
community, including the city of Chicago and Cook County proper. Therefore, city,
county, and federal emergency services may not be available.
• Daley College and CCC will not receive outside assistance in rapid damage assessment
and will need to conduct its own situation analysis and deployment of on-site resources
and management of emergency operations in the district while emergency conditions
exist.
• Communication and exchange of information will be one of the highest priorities for
the Daley College Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan

• In the event of an emergency, communications between colleges and campuses may
be impaired or lost. Daley College will establish a designated emergency operations
center and emergency response plan.
• If a major incident occurs on the Daley College campus the Chicago Police Department
or the Chicago Fire Department will upon arrival assume control of the situation.

Objectives and Goals
The goals of the Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan are as follows:
• To provide maximum safety and protection for students, visitors, faculty, and staff.
• To ensure that all individuals requiring medical attention in an emergency situation are
attended to promptly and efficiently.
• To provide a chain of command to enable maximum use of resources, both within the
Daley College system and with district, community, and jurisdictional partners.
• To maintain or restore essential services as quickly as possible following an
emergency incident or disaster.
• To protect property, facilities, and equipment.
Community Profile
A number of local and regional authorities, community partners, and first responders help to make up
the Daley College emergency response team. These include CCC district officials and staff, the Chicago
Office of Emergency Management and Communications, the Chicago Police Department, the Chicago
Fire Department, and local hospitals.
Concept of Operations
The Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan is designed to provide a framework and guidance
for coordinated response to minor emergencies, major emergencies, and disasters. This plan does not
replace the procedures for safety, hazardous material response, or other emergency measures already
established at the College. Instead, it supplements these existing procedures with a temporary crisis
management structure, which provides for an immediate focus on response operations and an early
transition to recovery operations.
The Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan is an “all-hazards” document. In other words, it
contains concepts, policies, and procedures that apply regardless of the nature or origin of an
emergency or disaster, and it is not designed to address unique conditions that result from a particular
hazard or event. The plan does, however, provide a framework within which emergency operations staff
and other relevant department and agency personnel work together.
Because this plan is designed as a flexible management system, part or all of it may be activated as
appropriate to a situation. Although it is based on a worst-case scenario and provides for the critical
functions and roles of Daley College during disaster response, its general procedures for the
management of information, activities, and operations can be applied as needed during any level of
emergency.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
12
The planning in this manual is based on the Incident Command System, a management structure
adopted throughout the U.S. and international communities. It also stems from the National Incident
Management System and various U.S. Department of Homeland Security Presidential Decision
Directives. Accordingly, this plan’s approach to emergency management is rooted in a four-phase
structure: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Each of the phases contains a critical
district or college procedure for emergencies. This provides for a smooth transition to restoring normal
services and implementing recovery programs.
The City Colleges of Chicago has established an incident command system. In an emergency, the CCC
would initiate the incident command system. The CCC incident command system is consistent with
National Incident Management System requirements. The CCC incident command system is composed
of the Incident Command, command staff, and general staff as shown below.

In an emergency, Daley College staff will participate in the CCC District incident command system as
directed and appropriate, in alignment with the Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan. In
the event of an emergency, the Daley College internal incident command system will become
operational.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
13
Line of Communication and Succession
For emergencies requiring localized response within the Daley College system itself, staff members will
follow NIMS Incident Command protocol. The Daley College Incident Commander is in charge of the
response and staff report to the Incident Commander for the duration of the response. The Incident
Commander will be the Director of Safety and Security when the incident only impacts the Daley
College campus. For incidents involving more than one campus in the CCC system or the scope of the
emergency is such that additional external resources are required, the Vice Chancellor of
Administrative Services will be the Incident Commander.
When incidents require first responders, a unified command structure led by the first responders will be
in place. When first responders become involved, the CCC Incident Commander will transfer command
to the Unified Command. When the incident response is concluded, command will be transferred back
to the CCC Incident Commander, who depending on the nature of the incident and response, may or
may not transfer command to the Daley College Incident Commander.
The line of succession for Daley College is as follows:
• President
• Vice President
• Dean of Student Services
The line of succession for the Daley College Director of Security is as follows:
• Assistant Director of Security
• Lead Security Officer on Duty
The lines of succession for each department will be in accordance with the SOPs established by those
departments.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
14
Plan Development, Review, and Maintenance
The Daley College All Campus Emergency Plan will be reviewed annually and revised as appropriate and
necessary. The Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services is responsible for plan changes, updates, and
revisions and will ensure that plan changes are communicated and distributed appropriately.
Interim revisions will be made when one of the following occurs:
• A change in a college site or facility configuration that materially alters the information
contained in the plan or materially affects implementation of the plan.
• A material change in response resources.
• An incident occurs that requires a review.
• Internal assessments, third party reviews, or experience in drills or actual responses
identify significant changes that should be made in the plan.
• New laws, regulations, or internal policies are implemented that affect the contents or
the implementation of the plan or other changes deemed significant.
Levels of Emergency and Response
The City Colleges of Chicago defines and classifies emergencies using a three-level system. Each
classification or level of emergency has a corresponding level of response, according to increasing
severity. The severity of an incident will be identified by the incident commander (IC) or the first
qualified individual to arrive at the scene of the incident. The severity level of the incident may increase
or decrease during response activities, requiring the level of response to be adjusted. The severity of an
incident is determined by the threat to the safety of the college or campus community and property, as
well as the ability of the CCC to handle the incident.
• Level 1 Emergency: A minor emergency situation that is limited in scope and potential
effects, which involve:
▪ A limited area and/or limited population.
▪ An evacuation or in-place sheltering, typically limited to the immediate area of
the incident.
▪ The provision of warnings and public instructions in the immediate area, not
district-wide.
▪ Incident management by one or two local response agencies or departments
acting under the IC, with requests for resource support being handled through
agency and/or departmental channels and limited external assistance from
other local response agencies or contractors.
• Level 1 Response: Level 1 incidents/events are the least severe of the three levels of
emergencies. Normal district response services will be able to deal with the
incident/emergency without activation of an EOC. The incident may result in minor
injury to members of a college or campus community and minor damage to district
facilities, and will affect a single localized area of a campus.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
15
• Level 2 Emergency: A major emergency situation that is larger in scope and more
severe in terms of actual or potential effects than a Level 1 Emergency.
Characteristics of a Level 2 Emergency include:
▪ A large area, significant population, or important facilities.
▪ The implementation of large-scale evacuation or in-place sheltering, and
implementation of temporary shelter and mass care operations.
▪ District-wide warning and public instructions.
▪ A multi-agency response operating under the IC.
▪ External assistance from other local response agencies, contractors, and
limited assistance from state or federal agencies.
▪ Activation of the ECC and one of the EOCs to provide general guidance and
direction, coordinate external support, and provide resource support for the
incident.
• Level 2 Response: Level 2 incidents/events require activation of one or more EOCs,
with the possibility of activating the ECC. Coordination between several district
departments will be required for an effective response to the incident. The incident
may result in major damage to district facilities or severe injury to members of the
campus community. A Level 2 incident may affect one or more areas of the district
campuses.
• Level 3 Emergency: A disaster involving the occurrence or threat of significant
casualties and/or widespread property damage that is beyond the capability of the
district and local government to handle with its organic resources. A Level 3 Emergency
involves:
▪ A large area, sizable population, and/or important facilities.
▪ The implementation of large-scale evacuation or in-place sheltering, and
implementation of temporary shelter and mass care operations.
▪ Community-wide warning and public instructions.
▪ Response by multiple local response agencies operating under one or more
IC(s).
▪ Significant external assistance from other local response agencies, contractors,
and extensive state or federal assistance.
▪ Activation of the ECC and EOCs to provide general guidance and direction,
provide emergency information to the public, coordinate state and federal
support, and coordinate resource support for emergency operations.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
16
•
Level 3 Response: Level 3 incidents/events are those in which disaster conditions are
present. Response will require activation of numerous EOCs and activation of the ECC.
A Level 3 incident may result in major damage to several district facilities, mass
casualties, and severe injury to members of the CCC community. The incident will not
be localized to a single area and may affect the entire district. The district may need to
request assistance from several external support teams at the local, state, and federal
level in order to properly respond to the incident.
Emergency Plan Activation
An emergency is an unplanned event or incident that can shut down operations and cause physical or
environmental damage, cause significant injury or death to employees, students, visitors, or the public,
or threaten Daley College’s public image. Emergency management is the process of preparing for,
mitigating, responding to, and recovering from an emergency. The All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan
is the cornerstone of this process and provides for a coordinated response and a clear line of command.
The following will trigger implementation of this emergency operations plan:
• Notification of a campus emergency to the President, senior staff, and/or other appropriate
individuals by the Director of Security or designee.
• Notification of a campus emergency by a reliable source of information.
• A routine outage response that escalates and is deemed major by the Engineering Department.
• Severe weather-related problems that threaten campus operations.
• A major crisis, either man-made or natural.
Should an emergency occur requiring the activation of this emergency plan, an Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) may need to be established. The President of Daley College or designee will establish the
EOC and assume the role of Incident Commander (IC). Should the emergency require the
implementation of an Emergency Command Center, the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services or
designee will establish the ECC and assume the role of IC.
Communication concerning the activation of the emergency plan, the establishment of the EOC or ECC,
and pertinent ongoing messages concerning the emergency will be sent through the CCC Alert system to
inform employees, students, and visitors in the affected areas. The communication will include
instructions for action. Emergency notifications are prepared and maintained by the Director of
Communications to facilitate prompt and thorough communication.
Should the incident affect telephone and computer systems, communication will take place through the
Security personnel and Floor Leaders in the affected area via verbal communication, bullhorns and
radios.

Hazard Profile and Vulnerability Assessment
Daley College Facilities
The Richard J. Daley College campus consists of a main campus building, a new Manufacturing Tech
building and seven modular buildings that provide additional classroom space. Daley College is an open
environment for students and the public. The campus participates in a number of community-focused
activities that bring large numbers of non-students to the campus on a regular basis.
Hazard Identification
As part of the Security and Risk Assessment Process, Daley College continually identifies potential
hazards that may pose a threat to the students, faculty, staff, and visitors of the College. These potential
hazards have been identified through a process of survey and information gathering as well as on-site
observation and analysis.
Preventive and Mitigation Measures
As part of the district Security and Risk Assessment process, the College and the CCC system staff will
identify preventive and mitigation measures deemed necessary to reduce the possibility of threat on the
Daley College campus. In addition, following any crisis, Daley College and CCC will evaluate the incident
and response to determine if additional preventive and mitigation measures need to be implemented.
Daley College could be affected by natural and man-made hazards which include: tornados and other
severe weather, fires, hazardous materials spill, campus violence, contagious diseases, and acts of
terrorism. The following table details the risk analysis:

faculty and staff are expected to be familiar with emergency procedures required by the All Hazards
Campus Emergency Plan. This will be accomplished through training and exercises as mandated by the
Campus Safety Enhancement Act.
City Colleges of Chicago maintains the district Emergency Command Center (ECC) and campus Emergency
Operations Centers (EOCs). During district-wide emergencies, the ECC serves as the command center for
the CCC’s response and recovery operations. A variety of communications tools are employed by the ECC
and EOCs to aid in the receipt and release of vital information. The ECC/ EOC bring together decision
makers to coordinate the flow of information and strategy development. A variety of organizations and
government agencies may be represented during an ECC or EOC activation, depending on the type and
severity of emergency.
Campus emergencies are typically reported to Campus Safety and Security first. This could be through
the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications, on-campus emergency phones,
local phones, weather radios, weather sirens, or other means. The Safety and Security staff on duty will
contact the Director of Safety and Security or designee immediately when the reported incident is
expected to have campus-wide impact or involve many resources or multiple hours of time to mitigate.
When the director designee determines that the incident falls into the category of major emergency as
defined in the All Hazards Safety and Security Plan, he or she will immediately contact members of the
Campus Response Team. If the director or designee determines that the threat to the campus is
imminent, any one member of the Campus Response Team thus contacted has the authority to
activate this plan.
The college’s emergency facilities involve the following aspects:
1. The Daley College Emergency Command Center
The EOC will be located at the Security Desk in the first floor lobby.
2. The Daley College Campus Response Team
The following may be members of the Daley College Campus Response Team:
• College President
• Vice President of Academic Affairs
• College Director of Security
• Chief Engineer
• Vice President Operations and Finance
• Dean of Student Development Services
• Dean of Instruction
• Director of Wellness Center
• Associate Vice Chancellor of Strategic Communications

3. General Campus Response Team Responsibilities
The team will assess the nature and severity of the threat and develop an appropriate plan of
response. Team members will be assigned specific responsibilities related to the plan of
response. The response plan may include, at a minimum, description of the identified warning
signs, establishment of a potential threat risk level, additional investigation as necessary, provision
of support services if appropriate, case preparation for hearings as appropriate, and dissemination
of warning information.

4. Emergency Operations Center
Upon the occurrence of an incident, an incident command post, referred to in this plan as an
Emergency Operations Center (EOC), will be established in the vicinity of the incident site(s). The
IC will be responsible for directing the emergency response and managing the resources at the
incident scene. The IC will also determine if any other EOCs need to be established.
5. ECC Activation
The following individuals are authorized to activate the ECC:
• The Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services or the President of Daley College
or designee.
The President or designee will serve as the Incident Commander (IC) until relieved by the Vice
Chancellor of Administrative Services. The IC is responsible for determining, prioritizing, and
coordinating all response actions and providing emergency information and communications to
CCC district staff and the campus community as appropriate. The IC will utilize appropriate and
applicable communications methods as outlined in the Communications Annex of this
document.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan

status, as well as assist in developing strategies for response.
The IC will utilize the CCC Alert system to inform students, faculty, and staff in an affected area
about the emergency situation and the response, including instructions for action. The Associate
Vice Chancellor of Strategic Communications maintains prepared emergency notifications to
help facilitate prompt and effective communication during an emergency response.
In the event that telephone and communications systems are down, communication will take
place through the BEMs. Contact will be made with those in the affected area through radio and
verbal communication.

Communications
Rapid and timely communication of information to the CCC District Office during emergency situations is
critical. In addition, accurate and timely communication of information to incident response personnel is
required for adequate response to emergency incidents. City Colleges of Chicago utilizes several means
of communication in managing varying levels of incidents. The CCC Alert system is the primary means of
communication to all members of the CCC community in the event of an emergency. This system can be
activated by the Associate Vice Chancellor of Strategic Communications at the CCC District Office or by
the following Daley College officials: The President, Vice President of Operations and Finance, Dean of
Student Development Services, or Director of Security.
Through CCC Alert, students, faculty, and staff can receive emergency alerts via email to CCC and
personal e-mail accounts, phone calls to mobile and home phone numbers, and text messages to mobile
phone numbers. The CCC Alert system will be tested for proper functionality monthly in accordance
with the Office of Safety and Security. It is the responsibility of each member of district colleges and
departments involved in emergency management to be familiar with these means of communication.
Individuals must also ensure that their personal contact information and the contact information of
their subordinates is up to date and accurate in order for proper communication. Discrepancies in
contact information will be addressed as soon as possible.
Public Address System
Speakers are located on every floor and outside in front of the Daley College campus in order to alert
students, faculty, staff, and visitors on College grounds of an emergency. Both warning tones and voice
messages will be used to direct students, faculty, staff, and visitors to take planned actions specific for
the emergency.
College Group E-mail
As part of the CCC Emergency Alert System, mass e-mails will be used to provide students, faculty, and
staff with information regarding potential threats to the safety and security of the campus community.
E-mails will also be used as a way to notify students, faculty, and staff of emergency situations and keep
them updated on the situation. The district employs the following types of e-mails:
• Informational: Any communication that increases the awareness of campus activities,
events, or services (e.g., parking disruptions).
• Operational: Communication that requires some action on the recipient’s part or a
required notification by the district (e.g., a message about benefits eligible
information).
• Official: A non-urgent communication from an executive officer (e.g., a message from
the chancellor).
• Urgent: An urgent announcement from an executive officer regarding an imminent
event, such as the school closing.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
24
Local Media
City Colleges of Chicago sends press releases and makes calls to contacts on a local media list. Because
of the transient nature of our population, the district also leverages the media to notify students,
faculty, and staff of emergencies before or during their commutes.
Text Messaging
CCC emergency officials have the ability to disseminate important information via text message directly
to the cell phones of users subscribed to the service. This provides emergency officials with another
option to communicate with Daley College faculty, staff, and students during a crisis.
Voicemail to Office, Home, and Mobile Telephones
This tool leaves a voice message on every faculty and staff member’s office phone on campus as well as
voice messages to home and mobile phone numbers as provided through CCC Alert.
Telephone Tree
Certain Daley College offices implement a telephone tree of departmental contacts that is initiated
during an emergency.
Warning
Primary responsibility for these functions is assigned to the campus emergency communications center
as supervised by the Director of Security and/or the Associate Vice Chancellor of Strategic
Communications or designee. Emergency tasks to be performed include the following:
• Receive information on emergency situations.
• Alert key district officials of emergency situations.
• Disseminate warning information and instructions to the district through available
warning systems.
• Disseminate warnings and instructions to special facilities.
• Provide updates to the campus community as directed.
In the event of an incident or emergency, the Director of Security at Daley College or designee is
responsible for notifying CCC district staff so that warnings can be communicated throughout the CCC
system as appropriate. The Director of Security or designee announces campus emergency warnings and
evacuations via the campus public address system.

Health Emergency
The City Colleges of Chicago has formulated a Health Emergency Response Plan to address the multiple
levels of public safety and college operations should a health emergency occur. The primary concern
of this plan is the health and welfare of the entire CCC community. This plan provides general and specific
guidelines that will inform the college’s response to a health emergency. This plan summarizes key
considerations provided by numerous governmental, medical and emergency response agencies including
the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The City Colleges of Chicago will promote the daily practice of everyday preventive actions at all times and
will use messages and materials developed by credible public health sources, such as the CDPH or CDC. Public
Health officials recommend everyone who is able to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus and get an annual
flu shot.
Other important public health recommendations include:
• Stay home when you are sick.
• If you have been directed to quarantine by anyone, including a public health official, or your
physician, stay home. Do not come to campus until you have met the return guidelines provided to
you.
• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
The City Colleges will implement officially recommended public health measures as appropriate to limit the
spread of illness and remove obstacles to students, faculty, staff and employee compliance with these
recommendations, whenever possible. City Colleges encourages all faculty, staff, and students to get
vaccinated and will share information on vaccination opportunities when they arise. Individuals may also
choose to wear a face mask at any time at CCC. City Colleges’ mask requirements will continue to depend
on the current ‘COVID-19 Risk Level’ as determined by the Chicago Department of Public Health. CCC will
inform students, faculty, and staff of any changes in the city’s ‘Risk Level’ and any associated masking
requirements via email, as well as with signage through CCC facilities.
In the event a student, employee, visitor or staff member states they actually have the related illness, he or
she will be informed to return home, seek immediate medical attention, and follow any subsequent guidelines
provided by their medical provider. If the person is unable to physically return home, the Chicago Fire
Department (CFD) will be called to assist. The person would then be escorted into isolation into Room 1110d1
until the arrival of CFD. The purpose of the isolation and location of the isolation room is to limit the amount
of potential exposure to other individuals. The isolation room will be cleaned and disinfected following use
for this purpose.
The Chancellor, in collaboration with the Provost, Vice Chancellor of Human Resources, and local and state
public health officials will:
• Develop ways for instruction to continue in-person and/or remotely due to a health emergency,
wherever possible.
• Suspend face to face or in-person teaching activities and/or other mass gatherings when deemed
necessary in accordance with public health guidance.
• In some extreme instances, it may be necessary to close the affected campus temporarily, if directed to
do so by the CDPH.
• Develop employee attendance and sick leave policies, identify critical job functions and positions, and
plan for alternative coverage, if necessary.

reducing violence:
1. A strong sense of community and connection.
2. An increased sense of security with security/police presence.
3. Crime prevention and awareness program.
4. Reporting and monitoring of crimes.
A common theme of all awareness and prevention programs is to encourage students, faculty and staff
to be aware of their shared responsibilities for their own security and the security of others.
Daley College Safety and Security will be responsible for evaluating their current college/campus
initiatives designed to address these four factors as well as advising college and district staff on new
activities or initiatives to increase these four factors.
Daley College provides crime prevention and safety and security awareness to include “Security
Awareness/Crime Prevention Tips” and “Emergency Evacuation-What You Should Know” presentations
at various times throughout the school year to include orientation and registration of each semester.
Daley College Safety and Security posts crime alerts for awareness when there is a notable trend.
Title IX represents the federal law designed to prevent sexual assault and harassment of students on
college campuses and promote gender equity in education. Title IX protects you from sexual assault,
sexual harassment, and stalking on campus grounds. This includes protection from gender-based
violence between any of the following groups: men, women, transgender people, and gender non-
conforming persons. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is the cornerstone of our nation's
response to domestic and sexual violence.
Daley College provides informational programs on “Know Your Title IX Rights”, Federal, State and CCC
Policies on Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking. These programs include
information on preventing Domestic Violence, Dating, Sexual Assault, Stalking, what to do and
procedures to follow if you have been the victim of a Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence
or Stalking incident, bystander intervention, and voluntary and confidential reporting at various times
throughout the school year to include orientation and registration of each semester.
Daley College has standards of conduct that clearly prohibit the unlawful possession, use or
distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. These include the City Colleges
of Chicago District-wide Employee Manual, Board Rules, and Student Policy Manual.

ACTIVE SHOOTER
The United States Department of Homeland Security defines the Active Shooter as "an individual or
individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in
most cases, active shooters use firearm[s] and there is no pattern or method to their selection of
victims."
• One or more suspect(s) who, as police respond to the scene, are actively killing and/or causing
serious, life-threatening bodily injury to multiple victims. The overriding objective of the
suspect(s) appears to be that of mass murder, rather than other criminal conduct such as
robbery or hostage-taking.
• Threat is not contained and there is immediate risk of death and injury.
• Considered the greatest threat on campuses.
• Leaves little or no time for proper planning and requires law enforcement to take immediate
action.
• These situations can and often develop into hostage situations upon the arrival of law
enforcement. For additional information:

How to respond when an ACTIVE SHOOTER is in your vicinity:
Quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life. Remember that staff, students and
visitors are likely to follow the lead of employees and managers during an active shooter situation.
RUN - If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises. Be sure to:
• Have an escape route and plan in mind.
• Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.
• Leave your belongings behind.
• Help others escape, if possible.
• Prevent individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be.
• Keep your hands visible.
• Follow the instructions of any police officers.
• Do not attempt to move wounded people.
• Call 911 when you are safe.
HIDE - If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to
find you. Your hiding place should:
• Be out of the active shooter’s view.
• Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e. an office with a closed and locked
door).
• Remain calm.
• Dial 911 if possible to alert police to the active shooter’s location.
• If you cannot speak, leave the line open and allow the dispatcher to listen.
FIGHT - Take action against the active shooter as a last resort. If your life is in imminent
danger, attempt to disrupt and or incapacitate the active shooter by:
• Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her.
• Throwing items and improvising weapons.
• Yelling.
Richard J Daley College All Hazards Campus Emergency Plan and Violence Prevention Plan
43
How to react when law enforcement arrives:
• Remain calm, and follow officers’ instructions.
• Put down any items in your hands.
• Immediately raise hands and spread fingers.
• Keep hands visible at all times
• Avoid making quick movements toward officers such as holding on to them for safety
• Avoid pointing, screaming and or yelling
• Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when evacuating, just proceed in the
direction from which officers are entering the premises
• Do not restrict your options for movement
FIRE
If the fire appears to be small, and you have been trained to use the fire extinguishers, get a fire
extinguisher and directly spray at the base of the fire. Do not take any unnecessary risk in doing this. If a
fire extinguisher is not readily available, activate the building emergency fire alarm and follow
evacuation procedures. Inform the College Safety and Security Officer at: 773-838-7608
of the location of
the fire.
If you observe a fire that does not appear controllable:
• Close, but do not lock, all doors to confine the fire.
• Activate the emergency fire alarm.
• Follow the evacuation procedures relayed by Safety and Security and staff.
• Inform the College Safety and Security Officer of any information you have about the
location of the fire.
If you become trapped in the building during a fire, remain near the floor where the air will be
less toxic:
• Shout at regular intervals to alert Emergency Crews and/or Chicago Fire Department
Responders of your location.
• If at all possible, place an article of clothing out of the window where it can be seen by Rescue
Crews and/or Chicago Fire Department Responders.
• If your clothing catches fire, STOP DROP and ROLL! Immediately drop to the floor and roll
repeatedly to extinguish the flames, holding your hands over your face to protect it
from the
flames.
• Get burned areas under cool water as soon as possible. Get help without delay.

Services will consult with the College President and Director of Safety and Security. If it appears there is
the potential for injury to building occupants or damage to College
equipment and facilities, the College
President or his designee will determine if the Chicago Police Department is to be contacted. If the
disruptive or potentially violent demonstration takes place after business hours, College Safety and
Security Officer(s) will notify the Night or
Weekend Administrator on duty and may contact the Chicago
Police Department without counsel from others if it is immediately determined necessary to maintain
the safety of building occupants and/or College equipment and facilities.
