INTERVENTION TEAMS

The intervention teams in each building will act in emergencies according to the Self-Protection Plan, following the instructions of the Emergency Chief. They will also conduct periodic safety inspections of the assigned areas.

Intervention Teams in Educational Centers:

  • Emergency Chief: The main Emergency Chief will be the Dean, Director, or the highest academic figure of the center or building. This will be a single person, even if there are multiple degrees and therefore multiple Deans or Directors in the same building. The one with the highest number of students will be designated as the Emergency Chief, and the others will be designated as Intervention Chiefs.
  • Substitute Emergency Chief: This can be any of the Intervention Chiefs or the Command Post Manager.
  • Intervention Chiefs: These will be the Vice Deans, Deputy Directors, and the building Administrator (three or four people maximum, depending on the size and organization of the center). They can replace the Emergency Chief in their absence.
  • Command Post Manager: The Building Manager will be the main Command Post Manager, and the Service Officer will be their substitute, or any of the service assistants. They can handle the emergency in the absence of the others.
  • Other Members: Up to approximately 10-15 people will be chosen based on their location in the building and their longer presence at work. This personnel will be selected by the Emergency Chief from the Administrative Staff, Laboratory Staff, and Teaching and Research Staff (PDI). The rest of the PDI will support the evacuation with the students of the center. Each PDI will be responsible for evacuating the students present in their classroom, laboratories, or practice group.

 

Intervention Teams in Non-Educational Centers (administrative, research, residential use, etc.):

  • Emergency Chief: The main Emergency Chief will be the highest-ranking administrative/academic figure of the center or building (a single person).
  • Substitute Emergency Chief: This can be any of the Intervention Chiefs or the Command Post Manager.
  • Intervention Chiefs: These will be those who can replace the Emergency Chief in their absence, following the administrative/academic hierarchy of the center (3 or 4 people maximum).
  • Command Post Manager: The Building Manager will be the main Command Post Manager, and the Service Officer will be their substitute, or any of the service assistants. They can handle the emergency in the absence of the others.
  • Other Members: Up to approximately 10-15 people will be chosen based on their location in the building and their longer presence at work. This personnel will be selected by the Emergency Chief from the teaching, administrative, laboratory staff, etc.
