Sample Contingency Plan

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the contingency plan is to provide continuity of student learning, while sustaining the
mission, vision, and values of the program during a catastrophic event. This plan identifies procedures
for communication with all faculty, staff, students, and
clinical settings/preceptors. This plan identifies procedures that are followed in preparing for adjustments
to classrooms, the energized laboratory, faculty offices, student services, and clinical setting access.
Resources that are available to all faculty
and students are identified. Specific responsibilities are listed for program leadership/administration and
the sponsoring institution. In addition, the procedure for resuming normal operations is identified.

COMMUNICATION

Activating the Contingency Plan
If a catastrophic event occurs, administration will communicate with all faculty, staff, and
students by sending a message through the learning management system. When the communication is
received, the Program Director and Dean will assess the situation, determine what aspects of the
program will be impacted, and activate the Contingency Plan. The Program Director will be responsible
for communicating the plan of response
to all program faculty and students. The mode of communication will be determined at the time of the
event. Updated student contact information is available in the student information system. Appropriate
PPE will be provided to all students if needed.

Clinical Settings/Preceptors
If clinical course schedules will be impacted by the catastrophic event, the Clinical
Coordinator will communicate that information to all clinical preceptors and students impacted by the
event. Clinical course schedules may be altered. Updated clinical
setting and clinical preceptor contact information is available on the learning management system. All
faculty and students have a university e-mail.

ADJUSTMENTS

Classrooms
If students are not able to remain on campus in the event of a catastrophic event, all
courses will be moved online utilizing the learning management system, which is cloud based backed-up
daily.
Energized Laboratory
If the energized lab is not available to students on campus in the event of a catastrophic event, all
lab instruction will be moved to a JRCERT approved clinical
setting. The clinical setting used will be determined at the time of the catastrophic event.

Faculty Offices
If faculty office space is impacted by a catastrophic event:
