5 4 A. Introduction All organizations including the academic environment are susceptible to disasters which can interrupt and affect their business. In the worst scenarios, these situations could shut them down permanently. Disasters are grouped into three main categories: natural disasters, manmade disasters and threats. Prior to a disaster and/or accident a contingency plan should be developed. The contingency plan should include the identification, prior to a disaster, of all critical procedures and resources necessary for the organization s survival. The objective of this policy document is to anticipate and plan for these emergency situations before they arise, decreasing and lessening their effects. A properly organized plan should take into consideration the safety of students, employees and patient first, followed by attention directed to infrastructure to minimize the business interruption, which usually follows a disaster. According to the Department of Homeland Security, it is important to work with the academic community to help campuses prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate crisis and emergency situations. Through these efforts colleges and universities will be able to reduce violence on campuses and bolster resilience and emergency planning processes for all types of hazards. B. Purpose: a. To develop and implement security systems and orient personnel about resources to provide a safe working and learning environment for employees and students at their regular duty and class hours on campus and at clinical teaching sites. b. To describe any special protections available to employees and students exposed to physical danger in the working and learning environment. c. To describe existing and proposed initiatives to prepare for natural and other disasters and emergencies, including planning activities, mandatory training, and resources available to the PSMHS School s students, faculty, and staff.

18 17 6. MIS Informatics & Technology (IT) Contingency Plan Originated by: Ms. Damaris Torres PSMHS Safety Officer Purpose: To establish procedures and guides to plan, activate, and deactivate the MIS IT Contingency Plan. This plan is based on the more likely threats and the severity of them. a. IT Risks/Hazards Classification Information and technology (IT) systems are vulnerable to moderate to severe wide variety of interruptions. The causes of these interruptions come from different sources. While some can be minimized, others risks are virtually impossible to eliminate. Risks are divided into the following hazards: Natural hazards Hurricane/Storm Flood Fire Earthquake Human threats Operational error Sabotage Virus/malicious code implementation Terrorist attacks or "cyber attacks" Environment Technological Equipment (hardware) failure Applications (software) error Networks/telecommunications systems failures Internet - UPR, or provider AT & T system failure Electrical failures Lack of air conditioning Flooding by water/drainage pipes Gas explosion

19 18 b. Natural Risks Threats Contingency Plan HURRICANE, STORM, TORRENTIAL RAINS INITIAL EVALUATION: Inspection of all communications rooms and the Data Center PREPARATIONS AND SAFEGUARD MEASURES: Notifications to Staff; Backups; Other measures AT THE END OF DAY: Proceed to TURN OFF communications equipment in areas that are determined from the initial assessment and follow up assessments that may be at risk DATA CENTER ROOM SERVERS: Data Center, central servers and communications equipment systems should be maintained ON and operating normally unless other instructions are provided PRESS RELEASES/WEBSITE: notify users of affected areas that the system will be unavailable 1 hour before culminating work; advise of the expected recovery time and when the system will be back online. PROTOCOL FOR DATA CENTER FLOOD/WATER FILTRATION BY PIPES BREAK Immediately notify the office of general services in the event of any flooding in the the Data Center area Take the following safety measures: Under no circumstances stand on wet floor (electrical hazard); if no risk is anticipated, move equipment or personal properties; Turn off computer and unplug the power; Provide some sort of barrier to contain the flood; in case of danger, evacuate the area inmediately AS A RESULT OF RAIN Assess the situation, turn off the system following the general PSMHS security measures mentioned above.

If you are on the road, drive away from tunnels, bridges and lines of service and remain in the interior of the vehicle. After the earthquake: Examine whether there are wounded people to provide first aid; Verify if there are people trapped or missing; Verify lines for gas, water and electricity; Check damages in building and potential safety problems during the secondary seismic movements; Tune in to the radio and watch the instructions of Civil Defense; Do not use the phone unless it's an emergency.

20 19 c. Human Threat Contingency Plan OPERATOR OR TECHNICIAN ERROR The technician must notify the Director of any system error and will provide information about possible causes and estimated downtime Notify the affected areas/users Design and implement a corrective action plan IMPLANT OF VIRUSES OR MALICIOUS CODE Verify if the infection has been registered and removed by the monitoring system, and/or antivirus/spam system If the infection was not remove by the antivirus system, proceed to: Isolate the infected equipment (computers or servers should be disconnected from the net) Proceed to install and/or update Antivirus and removal tools until it is solved Verify equipment before conecting them to the net Connect equipment and perform a continuous monitoring for at least 24 hours SABOTAGE AND TERRORIST ATTACKS CYBER ATTACKS Notify MIS Director immediately As a general procedure, system backups should be verified, updated and kept in a safe box on campus with a duplicate "off site" Evaluate and work according to the scenario.
