PRESIDENT’S REPORT STAFF ALLIANCE At the December meeting it was announced the Board of Regents approved the 3.5% FY13 staff salary increase. This increase is also in the Governor’s budget. The Staff Compensation working group is shifting focus to have the staff increase request in front of the Board of Regents earlier in the budgeting cycle. The Alliance passed the following motion: “The Staff Alliance moves to adopt SA Motion 2011-9 Relating to Opposing Altering the UA Employee Tuition Waiver and Requesting Reconsideration of Proposed Changes to Tuition Waiver for Dependents.” At the January meeting discussion revolved around what version is the correct version of the Constitution and Bylaws. The recommended changes to Regents Policy should be submitted by the end of January for compilation, and will probably come before the Board later this spring. The Internal Strategic Direction Listening Sessions have been scheduled. The session for the UAA staff will be held on April 2. The President disapproved the motion made during the December meeting in regard to the Tuition Waiver benefit. The President would like the issue to come to the System Governance Council. The March retreat meeting will be held in Anchorage this year. President Gamble will be attending. UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLY The Provost spoke on the Governor’s budget – it is very lean this year and does not have any initiatives in it except the honor’s college funding. Administrative Services discussed the disbursement of student financial aid checks and that there are issues with the wolfcard office relating to a change of software. University Advancement is working to update alumni databases and work on a new outreach program. There is a new campaign starting called “I Love UAA” which is similar to the “I am UAA”, but will highlight advisors and donors. Student Services reported enrollments are down slightly this spring, but there has been good success with the MapWorks program. President Gamble spoke to the Assembly regarding how to give all students the opportunity to succeed, putting PH.D.s where the demand for them is, the future of distance education, credit transferability and moving toward a tobacco free campus. The Assembly also discussed a future day of service project and will gather information on what is possible. STAFF HEALTH CARE COMMITTEE/JOINT HEALTH CARE COMMITTEE The Staff Health Care committee discussed the PatientCare program that was presented to the JHCC and weight loss plans. At the December meeting the JHCC made the following motions: The University of Alaska Joint Health Care Committee recommends the University of Alaska Chief Human Resource Officer to direct Lockton Dunning Benefits Consulting to include employee deductibles, co-insurance and co-pays in all future cost reporting (quarterly) of the UA Choice Health Care Plan. Each cost report shall include employer contributions, employee contributions, deductibles, co-insurance and co-pays. And The University of Alaska Joint Health Care Committee recommends the University of Alaska Chief Human Resource Officer to direct Lockton Dunning Benefits Consulting to investigate primary care walk-in clinic visit rates in Fairbanks, Alaska. It was announced that Erika Van Flein will be the new Director of Benefits. The University will not be moving forward with a tobacco use surcharge, instead they University will, as soon as administratively possible, implement a restriction on hiring tobacco users. Current employees are grandfathered in. Lockton presented the first quarter utilization. Large claims are down from last year and pharmacy claims have decreased while mail order prescriptions have increased.

During the January meeting the 300K committee reported the group incentive program should be posted to the JHCC website. A motion to have WIN administer a $50 reimbursement for individuals was made and passed. The JHCC will provide a list acceptable expenditures to WIN. ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH MANAGERS This group has not started up yet this spring. Please contact Marcia Trudgen ([email protected]) if you would like to become a member of this group. UAA FACULTY AND STAFF ASSOCIATION The Faculty and Staff Association met with Representative Gruenberg and Helena Wisnieski. PBAC The PBAC committee is looking at strategic allocations this year. It looks as though we will not have an increase in funding this year so we need to be effective with what we have. The first part of February there will be an inventory of classroom/space usage. PBAC will also be looking at program costs and will be figuring out how to assign indirect costs to programs. During the next meeting process and guidelines for the FY14 budget discussions will be developed.

Take steps to prevent or re-duce future loss.

It is important to identify the natural hazards that could impact the campus and com-munity in order to be pre-pared. These natural events include: Avalanche Coastal erosion Earthquake Fire (urban-wild land inter-face, conflagration, and facil-ity fires) Flood Severe weather (ice storms, hail, high winds, drought, lightning) Hurricane (wind and storm surge) Tornado Landslides & Mudflows Volcano (ash fall, blast, de-bris flows) Tsunami and Seiche

Citizens have a responsibility to protect themselves and their families by knowing what to do before, during and after a disaster event.

Before an Event: Know the risks and danger signs. Develop plans for what to do. Assemble a disaster supplies kit. Volunteer to help others. During an Event: Put your plan into action. Help others. Follow the advice and guid-ance of officials in charge of the event.

After an Event: Be alert for dangerous or hazardous conditions. Repair damaged property.

Get Involved

In January 2002, the President of the United States launched Citizen Corps to involve citizens in all-hazards emergency preparedness.

Citizen Corps asks you to embrace the personal responsibility to be prepared; to get training in first aid and emergency skills; and to volun-teer to support local emergency responders, disaster relief, and community safety.

The Department of Homeland Securi-ty's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordinates Citizen Corps nationally.

To get involved contact your local Citizen Corps Council.

Sheltering

Disaster Preparedness: Natural, Technological, Manmade/Terrorism

To effectively shelter, you must first consider the hazard and then choose a place in your home or other building that is safe for that hazard.

Taking shelter is critical in times of disaster. Sheltering is appropriate when condi-tions require that you seek protection in your home, place of employment, or other loca-tion when disaster strikes.

Though mass care shelters often provide water, food, medicine, and basic sanitary facilities, take your disaster supplies kit with you so that you will have the supplies you require.

Whether you decide to stay put in an emergency or evacu-ate to a safer location, you will need to make plans in advance for your pets. Keep in mind that what's best for you is typically what's best for your animals.

Develop plans for special needs groups. Family members of citi-zens with special needs should provide this information to local emergency officials in order to safely accommodate them during a disaster.

Special Needs Populations and Service/Comfort Animals

Evacuation

Page 2 Shelter in Place

Taking shelter is

critical in times

of disaster.

If advised to

evacuate, do so

immediately!

“Shelter in place” means to make a shelter out of the place you are in. Establish a safe place and to stock your safe room with a first aid kit, a supply of food and water, a flashlight with extra batteries, a cellular phone, blankets, and pil-lows, a radio with extra batteries, a fire extinguisher games and reading materials. You may need to shelter in place from a few hours to a few days. You should pay attention to radio and television broadcasts to know right away whether a shelter-in-place alert is announced for your area. The length of time you are re-

quired to shelter may be short, such as during a tornado warning, or long, such as during a winter storm. It is important that you stay in shelter until local authori-ties say it is safe to leave. You might not be at home if the need to shelter in place ever aris-es, but if you are at home, the following items, many of which you may already have, would be good to have in your shelter room: First aid kit Flashlight, battery-powered

radio, and extra batteries for both

A working telephone Food and bottled water. Store

one gallon of water per person in plastic bottles as well as ready-to-eat foods that will

not need refrigeration. Duct tape and scissors. Towels and plastic sheeting

If you have limited time for evac-uation preparations, take only family medicines, blankets and a battery-powered radio with you. If you have time to gather sup-plies, take the following with you: Protective clothing (this is de-

pendent upon your location and type of event)

Several blankets Cell phone Flashlights and batteries Battery-powered radio Personal hygiene items Infant supplies

Important documents and papers

Drinking water in plastic bottles or other liquids

Emergency supplies of ready-to-eat foods

Necessary prescription drugs or medicines, such as heart medication or insulin

Page 18 of 21

Most federal assistance becomes availa-ble when the President of the United States declares a “Major Disaster” for the affected area at the request of a state governor. FEMA will provide infor-mation through the media and communi-ty outreach about federal assistance and how to apply.

Direct assistance to individuals and families may come from any number of organizations, includ-ing: American Red Cross. Salvation Army. Other volunteer organizations.

Safety Issues Be aware of new safety issues

created by the disaster. Watch for washed out roads, contaminated buildings, con-taminated water, gas leaks, broken glass, damaged elec-trical wiring, and slippery floors.

Inform local authorities about health and safety issues, in-cluding chemical spills, downed power lines, washed out roads, smoldering insula-tion, and dead animals.

Your Health Be aware of exhaustion.

Don’t try to do too much at once. Set priorities and pace yourself. Get enough rest.

Drink plenty of clean water. Eat well. Wear sturdy work boots

and gloves. Wash your hands with soap

and clean water often when working in debris.

Returning Home Keep a battery-powered radio with

you so you can listen for emergen-cy updates and news reports.

Use a battery-powered flashlight to inspect a damaged home.

Watch out for animals, especially poisonous snakes. Use a stick to poke through debris.

Use the phone only to report life threatening emergencies.

Stay off the streets. If you must go out, watch for fallen objects; downed electrical wires; and weakened walls, bridges, roads, and sidewalks.

persons unless they are in imme-diate danger of death or further injury. If you must move an un-conscious person, first stabilize the neck and back, then call for help immediately. If the victim is not breathing,

carefully position the victim for artificial respiration, clear the airway, and commence mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Maintain victim body tempera-ture with blankets.

Be sure the victim does not become overheated.

Never try to feed liquids to an unconscious person.
