Narrative:

The PRC Risk Management Plan (Plan) has been developed and adopted in accordance with the program set forth by the Westchester County (WC) Office of Risk Management. The Plan identifies and assesses risk, develops response strategies and aids in managing operations to reduce risk. A list of policies and procedures noted in the Plan are available in the appendix of the PRC Administration Manual.

The Plan requires periodic facility site visits by the Office of Risk Management to evaluate safety and security measures in order to minimize liability and personal injury. Reports are forwarded to facility managers and senior management to upgrade safety standards. PRC also conducts facility and playground inspections to monitor changing conditions and make sure issues are addressed.

In many instances, such as the Westchester County Police (WCP) Bomb Threat Policy, policies and plans become one and provide specific procedures in the event of such an incident. Incident Tracking Forms for all eventualities, from employment applications to reporting incidents of vandalism, ensure submitted information is consistent and mitigate possible risk due to poor communication. These documents may indicate patterns that expose an area of risk, allowing for steps to be taken to preempt such situations. These forms are readily available on the PRC Intranet.
