Policy 4-OP-E Emergency Management
NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT
Notice Period: April 18 — May 09, 2022
Purpose of Policy: This policy serves as the administrative foundation for the Florida State University Emergency Management Program. This policy outlines the delegation of authority for Program implementation and the Program’s primary administrative responsibilities. This policy does not serve to outline’s roles and responsibilities during emergency operations; rather, such information is outlined in the Florida State University Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and other emergency plan, policies, and procedures developed and maintained by departments across the University.
Summary of Changes: The changes to the policy are substantive as we self-assess plans and policies utilizing Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) standards. EMAP is an independent non-profit organization that fosters excellence and accountability in emergency management programs by establishing credible standards applied in a peer review accreditation process. The revisions to this policy include multiple standard requirements not currently addressed by FSU’s Emergency Management Program.
The proposed change takes advantage of changes to Board of Governors Regulation and would allow extension of an existing lease for another full term before rebidding if it is in the best interest of the university and a market survey demonstrates the cost of this extension does not exceed the costs of a comparable lease elsewhere plus the costs of moving.
