Emergency Action Plan

The objective of our council’s Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Emergency Action Plan Standard, 29 CFR 1910.38, and Fire Prevention Plan (29 CFR 1910.39), as well as to prepare staff, participants, and campers for dealing with emergency situations.
Additionally, this EAP is designed to comply with the National Camp Accreditation Program (NCAP) of Scouting America.

This EAP is designed to minimize injury and loss of human life and resources by training staff, participants, and campers, procuring and maintaining necessary equipment, and assigning responsibilities. This EAP represents a completed assessment of risks to staff, participants, and campers and serves as a written guide for emergency procedures used to address those risks.

 

This EAP covers all of our council’s camping properties: Lost Pines Scout Reservation, Camp Tom Wooten, Smilin V Scout Ranch, Camp Green Dickson, Griffith League Scout Ranch, Camp Alma McHenry, and Roy D. Rivers Wilderness Camp.

This plan includes individual appendices for emergency events and phone lists for every one of our camps.

This plan will be evaluated regularly by our council’s Risk Management Committees, Camp Ranger(s), NCAP Chair, and Long-Term Camp Director.
