Dear Student,
Hello. It could be frustrating to get your hands on 'official' disaster management plans of a State, city or town because they are considered extremely sensitive, thus the security. It's difficult to get your hands on one without proper clearance. However, it is easy enough to find 'mock' ones - those that were put together as 'tests' and examples. Also universities, businesses and private entities have their own disaster management plans. Take for example buildings. Most especially after 9-11, buildings are required by law to submit emergency plans in the event of varied forms of disaster. In New York and New Jersey, skyscrapers for example have to comply with a number of rigid rules with concerns from fire, natural disasters, terrorism, hostage taking, etc. Now, being that it is easier to focus on such a smaller concern, I believe it is also going to be of great interest to see how universities - being that they are at times the size of small town and cities with a massive student and staff populace handle an emergency. The Virginia Tech Massacre for example exemplified a kind of emergency that when faced with, a university might have great difficulty to handle. The sample I provided for you below is small and focuses only on this aspect but I have attached an actual University Emergency Management Plan for 2009 by the University of California in Irvine. Bear in mind that while the setting is far from NJ, this emergency plan is similar in structure and concerns to that of NJ universities like Princeton and Monmouth. I think this will be an interesting topic for you for it concerns university and student security making the topic easy enough for you to do your own personal research. Now, we cannot cover all aspects as was suggested in your post - it asks for one concern. So let us focus on a managing 'hostage taking & shooting' with the focus of getting as much of the students and staff as safe as possible - I created this example of a general emergency plan and a review of it for you below. The attached Emergency Management Plan of the University of California in Irvine will provide you a more comprehensive example that covers all grounds should your professor ask you to do something like that for your own ...
