All youth programs are required to complete an emergency action plan during the registration process. A thorough emergency action plan includes establishing procedures in the event of an evacuation, inclement weather or other emergencies that may arise on campus. All program staff should be trained on the emergency procedures prior to the start of a program with minors.
The emergency action plan information is required to be printed and stored on site for the duration of the program. Other information that should also be included is program sponsor emergency contact information, liability waiver and parent/guardian emergency information for each youth present, authorized adult contact information, and any necessary evacuation maps for the program location. A copy of the Missing Child Protocol and Parent Reunification should be included as well.
All program sponsors and authorized adults are required to register for Rice Alert by texting MINORS to 888777.
Programs can utilize information at emergency.rice.edu for assistance in answering the questions as well as the resources listed below.
