The document is a procedures manual for the Purchasing, Contracts, and Property Management Division employees in the event of a major disaster affecting Salt Lake City and/or surrounding communities. The purpose of the document is to provide detailed procedures for employees to follow in the event of a major disaster, such as earthquakes, floods, fires, tornados, high-winds, heavy snowfall, or terrorist attacks. The document outlines four optional plans for different scenarios, depending on whether the disaster occurs during working hours and if telephone communications are affected or reliable. The document also provides guidelines for building evacuation in the event of a major earthquake or disaster during working hours. Employees are advised to remain calm, move away from outside walls, seek shelter under furniture or in doorways, and wait until the shaking stops before leaving the building through stairways and corridors. They are instructed to avoid using elevators, electrical wires, and to not move seriously injured individuals unless they are in immediate danger. Once outside the building, employees are to report injured persons to medical authorities, assemble on the west side of the building, and report to their supervisor for further instructions. In addition to the evacuation procedures, the document mentions that employees who are not able to evacuate the building should report to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for additional instructions. It also emphasizes the importance of reporting to the EOC as soon as possible for employees who are unable to evacuate. The document further outlines the responsibilities and actions under each of the four optional plans. It includes instructions for employees to contact their families and assess personal safety and property damage, as well as instructions for round-the-clock operations, shift organization, and adjustments to division personnel activities. The document also mentions the involvement of the Chief Procurement Officer, Human Resources Division, and Fleet Management Division in the event of communication failures and the need for additional manpower and transportation for procurement purposes.
